We just started trying and i go to gym regularly for years now. I dont want to stop but bhi not sure if heavy workouts affect chances of conceiving. Anyone continued gym while planning?
I am also planning to conceive and had the same doubt! I love my cardio sessions but I am scared if it will affect implantation. Are you guys modifying your workouts or doing completely low-impact exercises now?
My mother always advised me to keep my body moving but avoid anything very heavy or stressful. Instead of an intense gym workout, a calm walk in the park or light stretching at home is so much better for your body and peace of mind.
You can definitely stay active, but don't spend on fancy gym memberships right now. Light exercises at home or regular walks are completely free and just as good. Better to save that gym money for the hospital tests and doctor consultations coming up!
Yes, of course you can go to the gym! Staying fit actually makes conception and pregnancy much easier. Just tell your trainer you are planning so they avoid high-intensity core workouts and heavy lifting. Keep it moderate and consistent.
My gynac told me that moderate exercise is excellent for fertility as it regulates hormones. However, she specifically warned against extreme exhaustion or lifting very heavy weights. Keep your heart rate in a comfortable zone and stay well hydrated.
