Exercising regularly is an essential part of managing Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). Women with PCOS often experience irregular periods, acne and excessive hair growth, among other symptoms. Exercise can help keep these symptoms in check by improving insulin sensitivity and helping to manage weight.

At Credo Health, we believe that physical activity should be part of your regular PCOS management plan. Women with PCOS can benefit from both aerobic and strength training activities, as well as yoga and Pilates. Women should also pay attention to their mental health when exercising; activities such as swimming or running may help reduce stress levels.

For women with PCOS who are trying to conceive, exercising regularly can also improve their chances of pregnancy. Women should aim to exercise for at least 150 minutes per week and maintain a healthy weight. Women who are overweight may want to discuss with their doctor on how much and what kind of exercise is right for them.

Regular exercise is important in general, but it’s especially important for women with PCOS. Women should aim to make physical activity part of their daily routine, and seek out support if needed. Women can join fitness classes, or hire a personal trainer, to motivate them and help create an exercise plan that fits into their lifestyle.

At Credo Health, we believe in empowering women with the knowledge they need to manage their PCOS. Women should discuss exercise with their doctors and create an individualized plan that works for them. With the right guidance and support, women with PCOS can make physical activity a regular part of their daily routine.
