There are a lot of misconceptions about exercising for fertility.
If you’re wondering if you can work out while you’re trying to conceive, you’re in the right place!
Personally, I love exercising because it keeps my mind and body vitalized. However, I’ve heard many stories from people advising against exercise for women who are preparing to get pregnant.
How much truth is there in that?
On this YouTube episode of The Fertility Godmother’s Show, I talked about whether or not you can exercise while you’re trying to get pregnant and some of the best ways to do it!
If you love to work out as I do, you might be concerned about whether or not its harmful to your fertility.
As with most things, balance is key.
If you’re an extreme athlete may need to change your habits and slow down from the usual intensity that you’re used to.
If your nervous system doesn’t calm down, it can be really challenging for your body because it can affect your digestive system, reproductive system, and the quality of your eggs.
However, you can still exercise because it helps clear your mind and gives you positive energy. Just don’t overdo it.
