When you are on cleanse by detoxifying your body, you start having a doubt about whether or not it’s a good idea to do workouts.
Well, by now you probably already cleaned your pantry by getting rid of those tempting sweets. And now comes the task of dealing with the doubts regarding workout. And to that we give a resounding YES. Listening to your body is good while you are on a detox program, but working out does no harm either. A good sweat from workout will help in stimulating lymphatic flow, blood circulation, respiration along with improving the functions of kidneys, digestive tract, lungs and liver, which helps in processing and eliminating toxins released while cleansing.
Remember that while you are on cleanse, exercise is not the first priority.

So make sure to be kind and gentle with yourself and do not end up with injuries by doing highly intensified workouts while taking limited calories. Remember the motive and refrain from breaking a lot of sweat and only then you will be able to experience and enjoy the best results of the cleanse
