WHAT WORKOUTS DO TO YOUR HORMONES
Or better yet, what they do for your hormones
I actually started off as a personal trainer, way before I began my journey as a health coach.
And trust me when I say I know the importance of movement for hormonal health!
Everything I preach and teach about I did myself first.
HOW WORKOUTS HELP YOUR HORMONES
I give all of my clients a bespoke workout program to help them heal, because workouts help:
โ
โจ Manage menopause / perimenopause symptoms
Exercise can reduce symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, and mood fluctuations by supporting regular hormone levels and helping you avoid the dreaded hormone slump that comes with perimenopause.
โ
โ๐ฐ Promote insulin sensitivity
This one’s for my PCOS girls! As you know, insulin sensitivity can be a symptom of PCOS (but also other hormonal imbalances, too). Physical activity improves insulin sensitivity by helping blood sugar regulation. This in turn supports your s*x hormone levels overall.
๐ฉธ Reduce PMS Symptoms
Physical activity can alleviate your PMS symptoms like mood swings, bloating, and fatigue, partly due to its hormone regulation properties, and partly due to the release of endorphins during exercise.
๐ Enhance your mood
Workouts trigger the release of feel-good chemicals like dopamine and serotonin, promoting feelings of happiness and reducing stress, anxiety, and depression. Perfect if you feel super irritable right before or during your period!
๐ง Controls cortisol levels
โ
โModerate exercise helps control cortisol, the stress hormone, preventing it from reaching chronically high levels, which can have negative effects on various bodily functions.
๐ค Support thyroid function
โ
โRegular exercise may support thyroid function, which is crucial for your metabolism AND hormonal balance.
FINAL THOUGHTS
โIf working out feels way too hectic, or going into a gym is super overwhelming, I can teach you how to work out at your own pace and still see results ๐ช
