Exercising While On MC?

[jimmy]

Forgive me if this is not in the right place, wasn't sure whether to put it in the exercise section or the fasting section since it's a question that deals with both.

So here's my question. Is it safe to exercise while on the Master Cleanse? I have a lot of fat on me and am trying to work it off, so sense I'm depriving myself of caloric fuel would it be safe to exercise or should I wait till I'm done?

Thanks,

I've done the MC several times. I've always exercised while fasting. It was not a problem for me. But, I am not you. Follow what your body is telling you. If it doesn't feel right....don't do it. Walking is a great workout in itself. Good wishes to you.

Thanks Cathy A., I'll give it a try, if my body says no, then I wont do it. I'm assuming I'll be able to though. I've been trying to run a mile on the treadmill at 5 mph, so far I've gotten to 0.75 miles, I found I've been able to run up to 7 mph, but need a cool down walk in just a few minutes.

I did fine with working out on the MC - for me the key was to make sure I drank enough of the lemonade stuff to give me the energy I needed, and enough water to keep me hydrated.
