Exercise for PCOS

Submitted by Angie Sat 08/22/2009

Exercise has been shown to be extremely effective in increasing insulin sensitively. And it doesn’t need to be super strenuous. Just moving your body for 30 minutes a day so that you break a little sweat is enough to help reset your insulin sensitivity.

Walking is a great way to start --it doesn’t take any equipment, its free and its good for the planet! Or find something else you enjoy. If you like swimming and tennis but hate the gym then swim and play tennis. Just commit to doing some form of exercise for at least 30 minutes a day. Mix it up with some resistance training twice a week.

Exercise is good for you for a whole lot of reasons including:

  • • Burning calories
  • • Building muscle, which in turn increases insulin sensitivity (reduces insulin resistant)
  • • Reducing insulin levels in the blood
  • • Making weight loss easier as less glucose is converted to fat
  • • Reducing cortisol and visceral fat (abdominal fat)
  • • Reducing stress and promotes deep relaxation
