Squats

Squats help with PCOS by working many muscles like the glutes and thighs, helping manage weight and blood sugars.

Jumping Jacks

Jumping jacks are good for PCOS because they boost your heart health and help manage symptoms by improving circulation and insulin sensitivity.

Lunges

Lunges help with PCOS by making your legs stronger, improving balance, and lowering the risk of insulin resistance, which is linked to weight management.

Bicep Curls

Bicep curls make your arms stronger, which is good for your overall fitness and can help with managing weight in PCOS.

Crunches

Crunches strengthen your abs, improving core strength and stability. This can help with posture and weight loss in PCOS.

Walking

Walk for 30 to 45 minutes daily, either on a treadmill or outside.

Yoga

Try yoga, pilates, or tai chi at a studio, gym, or online class. If you're new, consider getting a trainer to check your form for safety.
