What type of exercise should you do?
Building muscle is the key.
So strength resistance training at least three times a week is what most women need to do that they're not doing.
Strength over cardio.
They're both important, but... Yes.
And for fertility specifically, you know, over-exercising, so too much vigorous activity can also be harmful because it can be stressful to the body.
Exercise is this interesting inflammation balance.
Again, all inflammation is not bad, but we have to leverage it.
It's the chronic inflammation that is harmful.
When you're building muscle, you're going to have an inflammatory response.
It's how we build muscle.
But if you're
over-exercising, we're talking long runs, vigorous activity, it is going to interfere with the brain to the point that runners, 58% of runners will have a luteal phase defect.
Going back to having a short luteal phase, they are exercising to the degree that their brain is not able to send out the signal to have enough progesterone made.
I live in Austin, so I have a lot of runners.
So if I sat across from people, if I dared to sit at this table and say, do not run, people, they would hate me.
And it's not do not run.
But what I will tell my runners is say, track ovulation, your luteal phase is what we're titrating to.
So if your luteal phase is short, you're running too much.
Take out a run day.
