Hi,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic,
Your liver enzymes are elevated which indicates injury to liver. We need to know the cause, usually it is not caused by exercise or weight training.

Common causes are viral infection, Alcohol ingestion,Fatty liver and Diabetes.
You should consult Physician and get Ultrasonography of abdomen and which can help in knowing the cause.

If you take alcohol it must be stopped completely.
You can take normal diet and take rest for few days till exact cause and treatment is not done.

Once it is treated and then exercises can be done may be light exercise is good.

Take care.
Good Luck.
