The answer to this question is usually "Yes." But sometimes it's better to skip. So here is a helpful infographic to help you decide. :D

No, because I cycled 140 kms yesterday
I can barely walk when I have the flu, lol. I once went to the gym after having been in a car collision that morning. It was on the highway at around 65 mph and I experienced a crushing pain in my chest upon impact but I was all in one piece with nothing noticeably wrong with me. I wanted to work off the stress from the incident. I was fine at first doing some free weights, but then I almost collapsed while trying to do dips. Apparently, I had bruised my ribs. Didn't go back for about three weeks.
I just don't like working out.
I actually like the feeling of sore muscles, too. :P Most of the time, working out is just so boring. I've tried audiobooks and that zombie app but meh. I can do actual work when I have something to keep my mind occupied at the same time. For instance, doing fieldwork is a lot of manual labor that left me very, very sore, but I was also distracted and trying to find things and fix things and pay attention to detail.
I dunno. I'm sure it'll bite me in the ass someday, but what do we say to the God of Exercise? Not Today.
*gasp* I just realized that I can not follow those lines logically and end up in "Fine, take a rest" every single time!

Not immediately afterwards. I was very stupid. I only really felt much pain in the moment of collision. I felt all the air in my lungs escape and the force of the seatbelt and airbags against my chest. I did see the EMTs who gave me a quick once over and checked my heart rate and BP and any external signs of damage, but there was nothing apparent. I went to the hospital that night, though.
Don't need to; my physique was personally sculpted by the hands of God.:bubbles:
I work out outside where I see people regularly and dogs; that is a good enough motivator to go to the same spot and run my butt off.
