Often there is confusion when it comes to the HCG diet and exercise. Some people may not know what kind of exercise should be done or how much they should exercise on the diet. With most diets, extreme exercise is recommended at least five to six times a week. When it comes to the HCG diet and exercise, that is not the case at all. Instead it is actually recommended that you not do extreme exercise when on the diet and instead choose exercises that are more about connecting with the body and building some lean muscle.

With most diets, especially fad diets, you find that they recommend that workout out at a high-intensity pace for at least five times a week. The HCG diet actually recommends not doing this on the diet. Instead, it recommends that a person takes daily regular walks on the program. If you do want to exercise on the diet, which you don’t have to at all if you don’t want to, keep it at a low intensity pace like walking. Taking regular, leisurely walks help to keep you in shape and keeps the blood flowing but does not put strain on your body as would other intense exercises would.

Another exercise that can be done on the HCG diet is yoga. Yoga is a great way to increase strength and flexibility while gaining lean muscle mass. Lean muscle is what makes you look tight and toned. Yoga can be done by anybody and if you are a beginner, you can do variations of the exercise until you become strong enough to do the normal ones.

Hopefully, this gets some of the confusion away from the HCG diet and exercise so you can better understand what is expected on the diet.
