5 exercises that can help improve fertility

Strength or resistance training, helps people develop muscle mass while it enhances their body’s ability to use insulin and maintains their weight distribution, which supports their hormone equilibrium and egg release. Studies about exercise impact on female fertility show that aerobic and resistance training, help obese women with PCOS to lose weight, while their body becomes more insulin sensitive and their lipid profiles improve, which leads to better fertility even when they only lose a small amount of weight.

You can include:

2-3 sessions per week, which use bodyweight exercises such as squats, lunges, push-ups, resistance bands and light weights.

The workout should concentrate on exercising your body’s major muscle groups, which include your legs, hips, back and core area.

Experts agree that lifestyle interventions which include resistance training serve as effective methods to treat anovulatory infertility, which occurs in obese women with metabolic syndrome. The development of additional muscle mass leads to better glucose management, which benefits women before they become pregnant and during their first pregnancy trimester.
