"going for a run when … you feel sick and tired borders on dangerous advice." While I don't disagree with this I find it interesting how people are so against working out while sick whereas the startup/hustle crowd are all about pushing through it working 24/7/365 even when you're sick. Hustle hustle hustle and all that. Even outside of the startup hustle crowd many people still force themselves into work when they're feeling sick and tired. I would think forcing yourself to do a 8 hour day in the office plus a commute is more stress to the body then a short exercise routine. Nobody is seriously saying go and run a 5k when you feel like shit but some I often find when I feel under the weather doing some stretches and body weight exercises helps with aches and pains. I think people are reading the original post a little too literally. I did not read it as drop and do 100 push ups right now! But to start by doing even just one press up and commit to doing that daily until you can do 100 push ups. 100 being any arbitrary number, 50 or 30 works just as well. The point is having a goal and maintaining daily improvement towards it.
