If you’re gearing up to begin a detox diet
plan, one thing that you do need to be careful and aware over is how much
exercise you’re doing. Exercising when
you’re using a very low calorie intake is going to set you up for some problems
as the body simply doesn’t have enough fuel to complete each session.
While you may be able to get through the
first one or two days perfectly fine, after that, you’ll be facing some
problems.
So what should you be doing with your
exercise while on that detox diet approach? Let’s go over the most important
things to remember.
Cut
Back On Duration
The very first thing that you must do is
make sure that you are watching the total duration of any sessions that you
plan to perform. Aim to limit your
cardio workouts to just 20 minutes maximum and for the time being while on your
detox diet, strength training should be kept low as well.
One set of each major lift so that you are
hitting each muscle group in the body will be sufficient to retain lean muscle
mass and make sure that you keep your strength where it needs to be.
Limit
The Intensity
The second thing that you should be
thinking about as you go about your workouts is that the intensity needs to be
lower. Don’t attempt interval training
at this time. It will simply be too much
for your body to handle.
Instead, consider moderate, steady state
cardio training. While you may have
heard in the past this is the most non-effective variety for fat loss to occur,
it’s what you need to do right now. It’s all your body will be capable of
handling at this point in time.
Consider
Relaxation Focused Workouts
Finally, the last thing that you should be
thinking about is the possibility of shifting your workouts away from the
‘everyday’ and instead using just strictly relaxation focused workout sessions.
This could include a lengthy stretching
session, some yoga, pilates, or anything else that keeps your total intensity
down and puts you in a relaxed frame of mind.
These forms of activities will still keep
you active but won’t tax the body like an intense cardio or weight lifting
workout would, which is precisely what you’re looking for right now.
So there you have the primary points to
keep in mind regarding your workouts while detoxing. If you are detoxing properly, you should only
have to carry out the detox for about one week total before resuming a more
standard diet plan, so even if you choose to take the week off exercise
entirely, it’s really not going to have that large of a negative influence on
your progress.
