However, it is important to listen to your body. If you have asthma and a cold it is not advisable to exercise because it may cause shortness of breath. If your symptoms are from the neck up, meaning you have sniffles, a runny nose, headache and perhaps a very mild cough, it’s probably OK to perform a mild workout.<\/p>\n Monash Sport offers an array of group fitness classes such as Body Balance which combines Yoga, Thai Chi and Pilates to offer you a mild work out that will help you feel centred and calm. For a group fitness timetable or more information, please visit our website<\/a>.<\/p>\n If you’re symptoms are primarily neck down, that is you’ve got a deep chest cough or a fever of 38.5 or higher, you should make yourself scarce from exercise \u00a0altogether until you feel much better. The only way to fight infection is to let your immune system recover by resting and letting your body recuperate.<\/p>\n If you have a sore throat, this is the first sign that you might have a cold. However, if the severity of your sore throat is mild to moderate you can still exercise. Just remember, listen to your body, you are the person who knows yourself best!<\/p>\n Semester 2 social sport competitions start Monday 6 August. Hurry to get your team together as registration close on\u00a0Wednesday 1 August. Social Sport competitions are an affordable way to have fun, keep fit and take a much deserved break!

Here are\u00a05 quick, easy and fun training tips:<\/p>\n 1. Walk your dog: According to a new study from the University of California, owners who walk their dog once a day have less body fat, tend to be healthier and\u00a0 their risk to many cardiovascular illnesses are reduced. So, if you have a dog and you aren\u2019t walking it, …or if you don\u2019t have a dog, just get out there for a quick walk after work every day!<\/p>\n 2. Drive or ride your bike? Put a sticky note on your front door reminding you whether you really need to drive to go buy bread or milk at the local supermarket or drive 3km to a friend\u2019s house when you can ride your bike.<\/p>\n 3. Exercise can be fun. Create a sporting team with your friends and register in a social sport competition or join a sporting team. What better way to get fit and increase your endurance then participating in your favourite sport while bonding with friends or team members. It won\u2019t feel like exercise and you\u2019ll be keeping fit and healthy in the meantime. Monash Sport offers a Fitness Connect<\/a> service, which is a great way to join a team or find someone with similar exercise goals.<\/p>\n 4. Listen to music-create a good playlist. Statistics show music can increase your exercise endurance by 15 per cent!<\/p>\n 5. Gently stretch while watching your favourite show, do push-ups, sit-ups or lift light weights during the commercial breaks. You will be surprised how many repetitions you can do in the span of just one episode.<\/p>\n \n \n Conveniently feeding times, dates, locations and web links to everything \u2018sport at Monash\u2019 directly into your Google calendar, the Sport at Monash calendar is perfect for fitting in a planned or spontaneous sport and activity into even the busiest schedule!<\/p>\n To access the Sport at Monash calendar, login into the my.monash portal, select the Sport at Monash tick box and update your subscription.
