TT: PCOS, Hormone & Exercise Recommendations

PCOS can affect 1 in 10 women of reproductive age. This numbering is staggering especially since so many women go undiagnosed and as a result are left to suffer from symptoms such as:

Irregular cycles
Infertility
Weight gain
Acne
Low mood
Enlarged ovaries or cysts
Head hair loss
Body hair growth

The good news is that you can rebalance your hormones and reverse your PCOS based symptoms through certain foundational changes.

On today’s #CabralConcept 2316 I’d like to share with you specific PCOS, hormones, and exercise recommendations to help rebalance your body & mind – Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought in the comments!

Show Highlights & Big Takeaways

1. High-Intensity = More Stress

One thing to know about PCOS is that the more stress you place on your body typically the worse the symptoms get… HIIT can worsen PCOS symptoms.

2. Moderate Intensity

If you’re suffering from PCOS or other hormone imbalances you can still workout, but you will want to simply dial down the intensity and go with moderate body weight resistance training.

3. PCOS Cardio Programs

Cardiovascular exercise programs can also be great for hormone imbalances and PCOS, but you will want to save the sprint interval training until you rebalance your body. Longer walks or lighter cardio will help balance healthy levels of blood sugar, boost metabolism, and burn calories as well.
