PCOS and Exercise

What is PCOS?

It is a condition that affects women's hormone levels and produces higher-than-normal amounts of male hormones. Hormone imbalance causes their body to skip menstrual periods and makes it harder to get pregnant

Does Exercise Matter in PCOS?

Yes, it does play an extensive role for women who frequently exercise and help manage PCOS. PCOS-affected women can normalize the adversaries resulting from PCOS by modulating their lifestyle choices. While exercising is an important treatment strategy for PCOS, it also helps patients:

  • Relieve pain.
  • Maintain a healthy weight.
  • Relieve stress.
  • Boost fertility.

Here Are Some Exercises to Consider

1. Steady-State Cardiovascular Workouts: Workouts get your heart pumping if you are engaging in moderate exercise.


2. High-Intensity Workout: includes things like burpees, tuck jumps, and mountain climbers and can help reduce obesity.


3. Interval Training Session: exercise mentioned below can be done in sets of three with fifteen repetitions each.

  • Jumping jacks.
  • Lunges.
  • Bicep curls.
  • Crunches.
  • Squats


4. Brisk walking for 30 to 45 minutes a day on a treadmill or outdoors.


5. Aerobics exercises are also highly beneficial to increase your heart rate and get that fat burning.


6. Practice yoga, Pilates, or tai chi at a studio, gym, or join an online class as per your comfort as it's a great way to increase your flexibility.

Regular exercise has incredible benefits that go way beyond weight loss for women with PCOS.

Benefits of Regular Exercise for PCOS

  1. Boosts Insulin Sensitivity: lowers your risk for diabetes and other complications.
  2. Lowers Cholesterol: Exercise helps reduce cholesterol levels and metabolic disorders
  3. Increases Endorphins: These endorphins help fight depression which women with PCOS commonly face.
  4. Regulates Hormones: Reducing some of those extra fat stores can help get your hormones, and hopefully your PCOS, under control

Your lifestyle habits greatly contribute to the development of the disease. You must maintain a healthy diet and exercise to stay at an ideal weight and avoid alcohol and caffeine and manage stress.
