How Exercise Enhances Fertility

Sometimes we forget to take care of our uterus, and remember that it is an organ that can use some extra love and care, especially if we are trying to get pregnant! 

Regular exercise has a ton of benefits including boosting:
Cardiovascular health: One of the best ways to increases blood circulation throughout the body, including to the uterus and ovaries, is exercise. 
 Metabolism: For example, strength training enhances muscle mass and insulin sensitivity, important for overall health. Interval training can increase fast-twitch muscles which burn more calories. 
Immune function: Not only does this help you avoid getting sick in preconception, but reduces the risk of infections during pregnancy, promoting a healthier environment for fetal development.
Blood flow: Aerobic exercise like swimming, running, or a spin class can enhance the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to your ovaries and uterus, promoting healthier eggs and regular menstrual cycles. 
Regular cycles: Studies have shown that women who exercise regularly have more regular menstrual cycles and potentially better ovarian function.

One study found a correlation between vigorous exercise and reduction in symptoms for PCOS and endometriosis–two conditions that can impact our ability to get pregnant.
