How long do you think it is a good idea to rest for prior to starting training again following a Virus ?

Still got a temprature at the moment so not training yet was wondering whether to leave it 48 hours after the fever has gone before going back to the Gym again.

Only you know when you feel right again.

I wait till I feel 100%, take an extra day or 2 then ease myself back in, from past experience if I start too soon it just prolonges my recovery, while having rubbish sessions.

Went back in the Gym today feel I have lost weeks worth of training.

Only managed 45 mins heart rate way higher than normal.
