Detoxing is one of the single best things you can do
for your body, but if you're a bit
worried about how a detox will affect your normal exercise routine, you're not
alone. It's only natural to be a bit concerned. Fortunately, though, you can
rest easy. Exercise can actually begin the natural detox process and start
flushing out all of the toxins that are in the body thanks to one simple
process - SWEAT! Before you hit the gym, though, you may want to adjust your workout
a little. Take a look.
How Does It Work?
The sweat you produce during a normal workout helps to eliminate the waste buildup in your
body. It comes dripping out of your pores as soon as you hit the gym, giving
your body the jumpstart it needs to clean and purify your body.
There are also studies that
show cardiovascular exercise aids in the digestion and the metabolism of your
food, so those who exercise while they detox will have less toxins moving
around in their body. Simply put, the
physical movement of your exercising will help stimulate your digestion and
will help generate a boost in your metabolism since your body uses more energy
to move around when exercising.
My Normal Workout Or
Something Different?
You may not want to tackle
your full, typical workout routine during a detox. In fact, you should make
certain that the exercise regimen that you are doing along with your detox is
not overly difficult or stressful on your body.
It is quite important to ensure that your exercises are not more than
your body can handle since your body is already using energy with your detox. You simply want to incorporate some light
cardiovascular exercise while you a detox to achieve the best results. A few exercises you may want to consider
include biking, light jogging, swimming, or a good dance routine. Yoga is
another great one to consider, as studies have shown that certain yoga poses
such as twisting poses can help improve your blood circulation and stimulate
the organs that are needed for digestion and detoxification. Yoga can also help relax a person and improve
their mood during a detox.
A twenty to thirty minute
workout is probably your best bet while you're detoxing. Avoid high impact
workouts during this time, as it might be too much for your body to cope with
and leave you feeling faint.
Whether you're detoxing or
not, exercise is the most important thing you can do for your body. Just keep
in mind that you should be fairly moderate in your approach and be respectful
of your body to get the most out of your next detox.
