My aunt is sick and wants to workout. Please tell me why this is so bad, so I can simply explain why she should stay in bed haha (I’m here to learn, thank everyone for any answers ♡)

I’m not a medical or fitness professional but afaik it’s only bad to workout when you’re sick if it’s a) a respiratory illness (lungs, not head cold) because you’ll need air to exercise, b) a stomach bug as exercise might trigger vomiting or diarrhea, or c) an injury of some kind that would be agitated. Exercise does do low level damage to muscles and joints, but as long as you’re eating and sleeping alright and not overdoing it that won’t matter. The increased circulation might even help you get better faster.
