Honestly between work and everything, 30-40 min of moderate movement most days is plenty. You don't need to train like an athlete. Consistency over intensity when trying to conceive.

Bhagyalakshmi Shenoy · Answer

Keep it moderate, if you're getting too tired or your cycle changes, ease off a bit.

Falguni Das · Answer

If your periods are getting irregular or you're constantly exhausted, that's a sign you're overdoing it. Stay active but don't push to extremes when you're trying, your body needs energy reserves.

Moderate is the key word. Very intense daily workouts and super low body fat can actually mess with your cycle. I switched to brisk walks, light strength and yoga while trying and it felt much more balanced.

With PCOS exercise actually helped me, but too much intense cardio backfired and stressed my body. A doctor or even a good trainer who understands fertility can guide the right amount, everyone's different.
