You've probably heard countless times how exercise is good for you. But did you know that it can actually help you while you are trying to conceive? Following an exercise regimen before conceiving has proven benefits for increasing both fertility and ovulation, and strengthening the body for the normal pregnancy and delivery. Studies have shown that vigorous exercising while trying to conceive may also affect the fertilized egg’s ability to implant in the uterus. So the question is “How much exercise should you do while trying to conceive?” Moderation is the key: Remember that you are trying to conceive and not getting ready for a marathon. Hence everything you do should be in moderation. Do not try to stress yourself by following rigorous gym routines or crash diets, this would result in weight loss which can affect estrogen levels and cause irregular periods which will then affect your fertility.

Tips To follow While Exercising To Get Pregnant:

  • Start early. Do not wait until you conceive. Start doing a little bit of regular exercises beforehand so that your body starts to build stamina which will be helpful during your pregnancy and labour
  • Avoid dieting completely. This does not mean you need to go on an all junk diet, it implies that you need to eat a healthy and fulfilling diet that is nutritious and hence would make sure your body is ready to produce a healthy baby while keeping you strong
