Anytime you workout in a gym, you are exposed to a plethora of germs. Right now, there is a huge flu pandemic going on, so there is good reason to protect yourself. Follow these rules to save yourself from being sick:

Preempt the flu by maintaining your diet; Take vitamins regularly, eat healthy and clean, avoid inflammatory foods and drinks like refined sugar or alcohol.

Wash your hands; Make sure you carry a natural antibacterial gel that you can use after you touch cardio equipment, mats, weights, etc.

Stay hydrated; if your cells have the fluid they need, they won’t feel depleted and your body can fight off infection better.

Get rest; Make sure you get at least 8 hours or more if you’re in training or body is craving it.
