We are trying since few months and someone told me to add some cardio to my routine. Im not very into exercise honestly but willing to start. Does it really make a difference for conceiving? Curious how.
Moderate aerobic exercise helps mainly by keeping your weight healthy and hormones balanced, which can support regular cycles. But too intense workouts can actually backfire, so keep it moderate. I'd check with your doctor on what level suits you.
It supports conception indirectly by improving overall health, weight and reducing stress hormones. But excessive exercise can disturb cycles, so balance is key. If you're actively trying, your doctor can advise the right intensity for you.
Realistically it helps by improving fitness, reducing stress and managing weight, all of which support fertility. Even 30 min brisk walk most days counts, you dont need a gym. Just keep it consistent rather than extreme.
With my PCOS, regular moderate exercise like brisk walking did help my cycles become more regular, which obviously helps conceiving. It's not magic though, dont overdo it expecting instant results. Pairing it with right diet helped me more.
