Many of us hate to exercise, especially right after a detox however, it is so important that you force yourself to do this daily. Take is slow at first. It does not have to be vigorous, although that would be preferable, it just has to be something that gets your blood pumping. Think of a physical activity that you actually enjoy, or at least used to and start with that. Some examples include running, walking outside, swimming, riding your bike, hiking, playing a sport, and yoga.
Commit to at least 20 minutes of physical activity per day and increase this time as it starts to get less painful. Motivation is the hardest part.
