Exercise to get worse.

Feeling better and doing better are two completely different things. Believe me, I should know. Even if you feel better doesn't mean that you are actually doing better. On the contrary, feeling better can make you more sick than you already were. For instance, I was feeling a little better when I had the flu, so I competed at Districts for dance team, but after that I was definitely NOT doing better. I relapsed.. Now the point of this post wasn't to talk about how sick I am, but is is to discuss how dance affects my health. I dance to feel good and to keep in shape. It is something I love doing and have been loving for a year and a half. Cardio exercise is supposed to be good for the heart and for your all around health. This is true to an extent personally. Once I get sick, then it is hard to re cooperate, and every time that I dance when I am not completely healthy then I end up getting worse. So the question is this: do I dance and do what I love when it risks my well being or do I stop what I love doing?
Hard question to answer, but what I do know is that dancing is a must-no matter what.
