EXERCISE?!

Question

I’ve been working out almost everyday since April (covid changed me lol). I’m worried about if I should be running or doing HIIT ( high intensity interval training workouts) while I’m ttc?! We’ve been ttc since March, and I’m just trying to do everything I can to get that bfp sooner rather than later. Anyone else do these types of workouts particularly during ovulation and the luteal phase? 
Help! I love working out and don’t want to stop if I don’t have to!

Answer

I am a fitness lover and have been for 11 years. I have read both sides where it’s fine to do what you’ve been doing but not start anything too intense and also to continue working out but limit the intensity so that cycles aren’t affected.
I have done it all and still have yet to conceive for over a year. I have gradually gone back to heavy weight lifting and intense mixed cardio and figure I’ll get pregnant if It’s meant to be.
I say keep doing you!

Answer

You can still work out . I will say during your period your body supposedly needs rest to shed the lining properly and you should try to get a lot of sleep in follicular phase. 
I would not try to set new records or do extra circuits to push yourself. You can still workout just don’t go bananas !

Answer

I’ve been doing CrossFit for the past year & continued through TTC. Got pregnant after 6 months. Cut down on my effort a bit. Unfortunately lost the baby early on, but it was not due to the exercise. I know plenty of people who continued to CrossFit all through pregnancy. 
You are fine doing HIIT as long as you’ve been doing it for a while & it’s not brand new.
