I'll try to work through a cold (which I think I have now), but the flu lays me low hard.

Careful on working through a cold. The head congestion, combined with the exertion of exercising can cause both serious headaches and dizziness.

If you want, focus on illness recovery and get back at it. If your off for one, pick up where you left off. If you're off for two weeks, repeat the last two workouts. More than that, consider starting back at the beginning of the current stage.
