People who want to get ripped know that it is going to take some serious time in the gym. While working out hard can do wonders for your body, you have to be careful in the winter to give yourself enough rest time so you don't damage the immune system.
Recently, researchers from the UK have determined that exercise can effectively reduce a person's risk of developing an upper- respiratory tract infections (URTI), such as the flu or common cold. It's important that people do the right amount of exercise, however, not too much or too little.
"The heavy training loads of endurance athletes make them more susceptible to URTIs and this is an issue for them as infections can mean missing training sessions or underperforming in competitions," said researcher Mike Gleeson
People should take two things away from this study. The first is that there are many health benefits to regular physical activity that extend beyond building muscle. The second is that people who are trying to get ripped need to make sure that they are keeping themselves healthy, this means wearing proper winter clothing for outdoor exercises and giving your body time to rest.
