The Flu

I have a 102 fever, chills, body aches, etc. However, I'm curious to see whether or not I'll have the willpower tomorrow to finish a work-out. Any advice?

Don't push it. Sounds like it's really the flu and not just some sniffles. I'd recommend that you let your body focus on killing the bugs for a day or two.

NO. 
Your body needs all your calories to fight germs. If you work out, here are some of the potential problems:
-you won't be able to lift as much; your body is going to try to use more calories to fight germs and not bother to think about lifting weight.
-you might faint while lifting. REALLY BAD.
-your fever might get worse because of the extra stress, causing you to go to the emergency room.
That's just the beginning. Don't do it.
