Regular exercise is, of course, one of the best things you can do to lose weight or control it more effectively to boost better management of your PCOS symptoms.
Â
But overdoing your workouts can actually have the opposite effect by weakening your immune system, straining your joints and tiring you out.
Â
Muscles need time to prepare themselves to be efficient again during your next session. And tiredness means you’ll actually burn fewer calories than if you were exercising correctly.
Â
So schedule at least one day off a week and on other days alter your routine, say, by doing arm weights one day and leg moves the next to avoid overusing one particular set of muscles.
Â
Be sure to keep your back straight and avoid leaning on the handles of cardio equipment to prevent injury and maximize calorie burn.
