I have PCOS and I remember how I felt when the doctor told me it would be hard for me to conceive I now have 4 children very successful pregnancies. God blessed me!
I have insulin resistant PCOS. I also became gym obsessed. Taking classes everyday CYCLING was a big one I was told move more blah blah blah. I gained 4 lbs. COULD NOT SLEEP even though I was completely exhausted. I was crying in the shower at one point after weighing myself at the gym thinking to myself wtf am i doing wrong. NOW I KNOW
I spent 45 minutes a day on the stair master and I kept gaining weight. Until I changed to low impact anabolic exercise and weight started MELTING off already lost 16 pounds
Yeeess!!! That's what it's all about, slowly down the workouts and seeing the results you never saw before 💜🥰 Which Low impact workouts did you find worked the best for you? 😃
Your advice on PCOS workouts is so on point! I remember in the beginning of my PCOS journey, I was going through a very stressful period and kept gaining weight - to try and overcome this, I was working out really hard a the gym - 5x per week before work - with NO RESULTS! Not only did I not reduce weight, but the endorphins everyone associates with exercise were non-existent, and my mood was all over the place! I felt so helpless and frustrated, and kept thinking that my body was betraying me. After coming across your page, things started making sense - it turns out, I was exhausting myself trying conventional methods, when my body needs special techniques! Thankfully, I already loved doing weighted workouts - but I learned how to slow down, and limit them to a few times a week. Less is MORE with PCOS workouts, and now my workouts have become a treat, not a threat! Thank you Tallene and Sirak for all your workout advice!
I'm grateful for reading your comment. And I can relate to the struggle with physical exercises. Last year I read somewhere that I should work out 60 minutes every day, and so I did. By the 3rd day, I got this terrible flu because strenuous exercise can suppress immune function, as I learned later. That misinformation backfired so badly! I spent two weeks sick, unable to exercise and cook proper meals, and my acne and hirsutism got worse. Now I'm starting to understand what works for my body, and I just found this channel while searching for workouts tailored for PCOS. Hopefully, it can help me to gain more clarity regarding what exercises will work for me. I'm so glad you're doing great in your journey with PCOS!
I did this workout yesterday after not working out in over a year and TELL ME WHY I FEEL LIKE I RAN A MARATHON TODAYY?!? I did not feel like I working out this hard until I woke up this morning and am SO sore! A great feeling and will continue to watch and do your workouts!
I don’t have PCOS but I do have Hashimoto’s disease and so much of what you’re saying relates to me as well. I just found you today so fingers crossed for positive results moving forward.
I’m so grateful and thankful you guys exist !

I wish I had known about you earlier 🙏💙
I struggled with weight loss with pcos and recently lost 25 pounds. Strictly with regulating my diet and taking the right vitamins. Now I’m taking their advice with slow weighted workouts cause cortisol levels are so important! Good luck everyone
Thank you so much! I’ve always been naturally a bit chubby, but one I got my period I just gained weight and I never knew why and always tried to do the HITT workouts and all those crazy workouts, but I was recently diagnosed with PCOS so now I’m going to try doing workouts for my body! Thank you for this video!
I was just told about my pcos on Friday (I’m 20 and in college). I have always struggled with my body and body image. I have tried getting into routines but never saw results so I gave up. I’m doing my best to try and eat better. My boyfriend told me I should look into PCOS workouts and here I am! Hoping this will work out for me.
It was so frustrating when I kept gaining weight even after working out hard. But then as soon as I switched to low impact workouts, I saw changes in my body within a week ❤
This makes so much sense now. I was walking up to 8 miles a day and on a 1,200 calorie diet with no off days for 4 MONTHS and only lost 4 lbs. Then… I found keto and lost 60 lbs without exercise in the first 4 months and when I started walking a lot it slowed down but I lost 40 more by the end of the year. Now, after a car accident, I started back and it’s SO HARD. I started going to the gym almost every morning and only eating 900-1,200 calories (still keto because I really feel at my best when I’m in ketosis) but I GAINED 5 lbs in a week! So I really think I’m just exercising too much and eating too little. But I REALLY ENJOY going to the gym. I can’t wait to learn what workouts are best for me and I really hope it works!
Thank you so much for this video!!!! Trainers would look at me crazy when I told them I wasn’t dropping the weight but doing everything right. This video is soooooo helpful! Thank you so much Cyster 💙💙💙
Yes I was recently diagnosed with pcos, but ive been working out forever! And nothing nothing at all! I am insulin resistant and ive tried Everything! Thank you for these videos! Subscribed and going to check them all out!
I want to personally take time out to appreciate DR RORPOPOR HERBAL on his TH-cam channel for the herbs medication I ordered from him in curing my PCOS disease❣️❣️❣️❣️ th-cam.com/channels/kZwKW6qES4dXDWzb0YQErA.html
Such useful information! People with PCOS are always told to lose weight first and hence do lots of cardio. I love weight training and will definitely do it more often to keep my PCOS in check.
What's especially frustrating is eating right, exercising to the max and staying consistent, dropping a few pounds but then hitting a plateau where no matter how hard you work the weight is not coming off and you just feel miserable and week all the time, that's me at this current time, I want to get back into shape and drop about 50lbs but not seeing results and feeling awful really kills my motivation, I need some motivation as well as tips to get started again :)
I'm 100% with you. Have gotten so down on myself about the same thing. It's so demoralizing and you feel so isolated, like nobody gets it. I literally gave up because of seeing NO results. Now my doc wants me on Ozempic but can't get covered for it so far! Gonna see what else I can do, I'm also hypothyroid.
I’m type 1 diabetic, and because of this I already am constantly monitoring my blood sugars. For a couple of years now I had been noticing that 1) I gain like 10 lbs every year even though I don’t eat badly. I already have autoimmune diabetes so most of my diet is already sugar free and low carb. And I rarely eat out. 2) I keep having to increase my insulin. I kept telling my doctor that something was wrong, but because my A1C was 5.8 (pretty dang good for a 20 year Diabetic), they thought I was being “hard on myself”. But alas, the reason my A1C was still good, was because *I KEPT HAVING TO PUMP MORE AND MOOORE INSULIN INTO MY BODY!* this past year I noticed my hair is coming out in chunks, I’m bloating with water, my premenstrual symptoms keep getting worse and worse and my insulin needs keep increasing. I finally told all this to my gyno, and also expressed my frustration with my diabetes doctor. She tested my hormones and said they look normal, but scheduled me for an ultra sound. And sure enough, she saw some PCOS like inflammation on my ovaries. She suggested birth control, but I’m going to do things the natural way first. I don’t find birth control to be a solution, but a bandage. The moment I stop taking it (like when I’m ready to have a kid), I’ll be back to square 1. So instead of pumping insulin when my sugars are stubbornly high after a meal, I try and go for a walk. And that tends to work. I’ve also started trying beginners weight training with like 3lb weights lol, and also beginners Pilates. And I notice that for the next 2 days after just a 20 or 30 minutes of (not even a drop off sweat and i’m a sweaty person) these exercises, I’m almost struggling to keep my blood sugar from going too low and end up having to snack to not have a low emergency. But yea I’ve just started. I thank God though, because I feel like because of my diabetes, I was able to catch it quite quickly. I don’t think my case is bad, it’s just on the cusp. And because I’m already always wearing a CGM. And because my body doesn’t make it’s own insulin, I noticed when things were going weird, and I noticed also that I’m taking more and more insulin because I have to manually pump it into my body myself. I heard it was possibly for type 1 diabetics to get “double diabetes”, which is not only does your body not make insulin, but you are also insulin resistant, so the insulin you inject isn’t working just like in type 2 diabetics, the insulin their body makes just isn’t working. So Yay 😅 . But one thing I’ve always said is that if I had the opportunity to avoid full blown diabetes like type 2 diabetics often have, I would have taken the opportunity to. Because I have autoimmune diabetes (the same thing Nick Jonas has), I didn’t have a choice. But with this “double diabetes”/PCOS thing, I do have the potential to rectify it. And with the support of God that’s what I’m working toward 🥂
it's so aggravating ive tried everything and i feel like i gain weight but as soon as the pandemic hit i actually stopped exercising and i LOST weight but i don't want to not do anything i want to be healthy im so glad i found your channel!😭
I ones has PCOS and it was very painful, and my diverticulitis disease was hell for me as well.I am glad that today DR RORPOPOR HERBAL I met on TH-cam was able to help me cure them all with his herbs.🌿🌿🌿
I agree with you on here about exhausting exercises. I used to be a cleaner at a nursing home & sometimes I had the whole center to clean myself & I would clean for 8 hrs. 5 x a week & you would think I would lose weight being that active everyday but I actually gained weight which was frustrating. What helped me lose weight was doing restorative yoga & I did it on my bed so my back didn’t hurt not laying on the hard floor. I did this yoga right when I got up for the day & before eating breakfast & in 1 week I lost 1” off my waist & lost 5 lbs. I didn’t change my diet at all. Yoga lowers cortisol especially when you do the slow breathing exercises in the restorative yoga. I like doing Jen Hilman restorative yoga. This all makes sense now what you’re saying on this video. I always wondered why when I exercised fast I would gain 5 lbs. of fluid & got upset gaining more weight. Now I just have to relax & heal myself up like you say in this video. Thanks! 😊
Debo decir que este video me hizo llorar, una vida luchando contra mi cuerpo y mi autoestima, para enterarme que ningún doctor jamás me ayudó a entender mi síndrome. Es increíble lo injusto y doloroso que se siente. Corrí, caminé, hice bicicleta, mil horas de aeróbica, natación, aparatos, localizada, y no había resultado incluso con la dieta. Simplemente me hizo felíz el video y triste por la cantidad de años que perdí
I wish I had found your channel sooner. I was beating myself up over not being able to lose the weight I wanted. I was stuck at 140 lbs and no amount of exercise or diet worked. I was super strict with my diet, i weighed everything. I was killing myself trying to get 125lbs which is a more appropriate weight for my height. Then when I got sick and diet alone wasn't keeping my weight down I just gave up. Now I'm heavier than ever and trying to get my health back.
I want to appreciate DR RORPOPOR HERBAL on TH-cam who has general cure for all kinds of disease such as Staph, HPV, HIV, herpes treatment, cancer, diabetes, fardyce spots, and many others i was completely cured from PCOS.💯💯💯..🥳
I was combining 10,000 steps a day or more workouts with lifting. All I want is to close my rings on my Apple Watch every day Lol I thought being more active, burning calories, getting sweaty and pumping hard energy into my body was the way to go, and it hasn’t worked. But, you’re telling me with PCOS I should forget about all those movements, steps and cardio and just weight lift? Correct? This is intriguing and I’m mind blown.
omg I feel so vindicated and heard!! I was doing HIIT orange theory workouts for 5 days a week and GAINING weight. My question is - how do you know when a workout is "Stressful" to your body? Are their signs you should look for while working out that tell you "hey slow down" or "hey it's too much"??
If u have a little discomfort in breathing but u still can make conversation with anyone then it’s good but wen u r out of breath that’s anaerobic exercise already not good for cortisol sensitive people
If you can breathe through your nose it is stress relieving. If you have to breathe through mouth it is stressful, which is fine in spurts like 10-15 min workouts every other day.
I lost 10 pounds when COVID hit because I used to go to the gym. Running on the treadmill for 30 minutes or more and doing other cardio workout. I went for a few years and still kept the same weight. When COVID hit and gyms were closed I went walking and lost weight that way. Now it makes sense why.
Hey, I enjoy listening to your podcast and watching your TH-cam not only has it helped me a lot but your information is understanding & clear. I have share many of your videos with some of my friends who have PCOS and now they have good results thanks to you!
So I’ve been in a Body Recomposition journey (build muscle, get strong, replace fat) and this video makes me feel 10 times better 🙂 I was really worried that more muscle would elevate my testosterone (which I read can happen if you fast after a workout but won’t if you eat some carbs and protein) and thus why I have been spotting here and there (always occurs when I’m active after being sedentary for a loooooong time). Some things I have noticed since I have been trying to build muscle: my pants fit better, I get this airy feeling randomly like when you’ve been playing tag for hours as a child, my skin isn’t dry anymore! whiteheads (because my skin isn’t dry anymore), spotting here and there, I can see muscle definition when I flex, the number on the scale is more stable (no increase or much decrease). I am not focusing on the scale because that’s the least important part of Body Recomp. There’s people with fabulous results who weigh as much as they did starting but they look waaaaay better.
I'm so happy to have found your channel, and the committed work you both do to educate women who struggle with PCOS. I'm newly diagnosed and there's not a lot of information or conflicting information out there on workouts for PCOS. This all connects the dots and makes me feel so relived because you explain just how I feel! Can't wait to not stress my body out and continue to heal 🙌😌 God bless you two!
It broke my heart as well when I had to give up my HIIT Dancing class workouts, BUT I still dance regularly in my room or when I go out dancing and I make sure to take regular breaks, I also make sure to paire t with Low Impact/Intensity workouts which works well for me. Hope this help you too 💜 Dancing is Happiness!
Hi, I’ve been loving all your videos. I learned a lot and now doing the exercises. I hope you can post more pcos friendly excercises. Just like the others, I wasted money going to the gym and even got myself a personal trainer. But didn’t help me loose weight. Now, I realized its the cortisol. Just really hoping you guys can post more excercises. Thank you!
I'm going through this right now!1 I was very upset when I stepped on the scale to see I've gained more weight!! I've been eating healthy and working out at the gym like crazy and still gained weight. It's so upsetting and hard to explain to other people!
I’m so excited about the CBD giveaway! I hope this is the right video to post, I couldn’t comment on the live stream, I’ll definitely be catching up on your TH-cam content
Wow! I was doing the same thing working out 6 days a week hard core with no results and I started to blame it on my age! But now I know I was not taking the right approach for my health since I have PCOS and hashimoto.
Hi! Would love made a video that I could follow when doing a workout. It’s hard to figure out how many reps and how long. Following a workout video the whole time would be a game changer and more motivating!
I recently joined a gym and have been doing high intensity workouts several times a week and feel like I'm just packing on the pounds and not only because of muscle gain.This happened last time I joined the gym. I remember when I started doing pilates a while back the weight just started dropping off but unfortunately the pilates classes are too expensive :( I also feel I feel extremely restless and irritable after doing high impact workouts rather than happy
Thank you for all your help! I was diagnosed a month ago but was told to go on the pill and lose weight. By taking your quiz I realised I have inflammatory PCOS. I am now one month gluten and dairy free and my symptoms have already got better. I have also reduced my CrossFit workouts from 6 to 4 and feel so much better. I walk a lot (we are in lockdown is Australia) but I still do dumbbell workouts. I’m excited I found your podcast and now I look forward to watching your TH-cam Chanel. Nat xxx
I ones has PCOS and it was very painful, and my diverticulitis disease was hell for me as well.I am glad that today DR RORPOPOR HERBAL I met on TH-cam was able to help me cure them all with his herbs.🌿🌿🌿
I am so glad that I actually found your youtube because I follow you on pintrest and you are amazing. Im looking forward to losing weight, my only issue is that I was told to only eat turkey and chicken in order to actually lose. But I only eat fish is that really an issue if I dont eat meat?
Glad I found your videos. Life has been so hard as I've been grtting older. I go to zumba and clubbercise but now I'm thinking this could make my body stressed. Are these classes OK if we don't push too hard? I find them so much fun. :) i am overweight and taking insotol for insulin resistance. ill be watching more of your videos! Thanks
hi cyster! is it possible for you to do a video dedicate to the workout so we can watch and follow the workouts with you? i usually follow a work out on youtube but ever since i got diagnosed, none of the workouts seems effective and i was hoping maybe you could do one huhu thank you!
I want to appreciate DR RORPOPOR HERBAL on TH-cam who has general cure for all kinds of disease such as Staph, HPV, HIV, herpes treatment, cancer, diabetes, fardyce spots, and many others i was completely cured from PCOS.💯💯💯..🥳

I love your podcasts and your videos! They have been so helpful to me. I have a question, why is it like influencers like Sarah’s Day are able to do high intensity training and stay incredibly lean? She has PCOS.
I don’t believe she truly has PCOS. She has said herself that they diagnosed her with a saliva test, which has been proven to be ineffective for diagnosing PCOS. She doesn’t have polycystic ovaries either. Sarah loves to self-diagnose herself with all kinds of intolerances and I believe she did the same thing with PCOS, as well as the time she claimed to cure the cancerous cells on her cervix with clean eating. She makes these claims almost consistently without any scientific evidence or qualifications to back up her opinions. Take what she says with a pinch of salt!
If you watch her older videos, she has textbook PCOS and was diagnosed by a practitioner. They even put her on hormonal birth control and that significantly improved her symptoms. She also adopted a gluten-free dairy free lifestyle and It was shown to be really successful for her! I don’t think she was self diagnosing, but that’s just my opinion.
@@veronicajohnson5154 I myself have PCOS and used to binge watch her older content so I am really familiar with all of that. However, her “practitioner” was a naturopath not an actual doctor (because she doesn’t believe in Western medicine). Sarah’s missing periods were very likely down to over-exercising and under-eating rather than PCOS - she herself has stated that she was training too hard and not nourishing herself enough. As soon as she started eating more carbs her period came back and she has had 0 fertility issues since (now on her second pregnancy!)
@@sophias8848 I also have PCOS and the only doctor that would listen to me was a naturopath. Both of my primary care doctors told me my symptoms were nothing. Bottom line- I don’t really think is our place to determine whether someone is lying about a diagnosis or not. That’s kinda a bold claim to make and for what?? Why are you determined for her to be a liar? You don’t know her personally you only see glimpses of her life through TH-cam. Also it’s not impossible to get pregnant with PCOS- especially given her GF DF lifestyle for the last decade and supplementation.
Omg i have done it but it hurts very bad the next day my thighs were like hell super sore. The exercise looks cool but is as effective as it sucks thighs😅
Hi Cyster Will these exercises target belly fat? I know spot reduction is a myth 😅 but I don't have much fat in any other part of the body. Just the stubborn belly fat from being lazy for a yr in lockdown+pcos making it easier. I thought cardio,HIIT+crunches situps might be the best option to burn the belly fat faster
I have PCOS but I don't have this problem. I've been able to do intesne work outs and I was able to loose weight like anyone without PCOS. But I know everyone is different.
Hey Cyster! Thank you so much for this video ! I wanted to ask if you could make a video dedicated to what to do for exercise. If you could provide us with a workout program or schedule which would be affective for fat loss. I’ve been doing cardio for a month - I lost 5kgs in the beginning but now I’m not loosing anything anymore. I would really like some kind of schedule to follow along with effective exercise for a daily exercise session - please please please 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
I ones has PCOS and it was very painful, and my diverticulitis disease was hell for me as well.I am glad that today DR RORPOPOR HERBAL I met on TH-cam was able to help me cure them all with his herbs.🌿🌿🌿
I drop refined sugar and do hiit cardio with weight exercises and lost 15 kg. But when i stop training(because I study 15 hours a day without any physical activity,for university.) my legs and hips starts to gain fat. I try to eat so less but I can’t stop gaining fat because of not being active. Do you guys have any tips for me? I’m pcos btw
Hey Cyster! 💕 One thing you can do to take off pressure from the knees is using a chair with squats to take the pressure off the knees. So you can sit up from the chair in a squat position and this will help to strengthen the legs and take off pressure from the lower body at the same time. Here is also an article that provides some great exercises for bad knees www.webmd.com/pain-management/knee-pain/injury-knee-pain-16/slideshow-knee-exercises
You can't outrun a bad diet. PCOS is underpinned by insulin resistance. The key is to eat less foods that over-stimulate insulin. Get most of the energy you need from natural fat (3:2 monounsaturated to saturated, the same as our body's fat). God bless you.
It isn't necessary to eliminate foods per se@@nishthakaushik4766. It involves making educated choices. Don't eat starches alone for instance. Having a jacket potato without butter or cheese is terrible advice, as is cutting the fat from meat, or choosing lower-fat versions of dairy, as they all increase the demand for insulin. Keep to RI of protein per day, and only half the RDA of carbohydrate is generally adequate. Don't be suckered by health claims of Weetabix, Shredded Wheat, Bran Flakes nor wholemeal bread; they are all turned to glucose faster than table sugar in the body. Again, if you have them, have them in very small amounts as part of a balanced meal, with veg, a small amount of protein, and enough natural fat. Pulses are mostly slower release, but even so, processing food like baked beans makes them demand very high amounts of insulin too. As important is the frequency of eating; don't eat 'little and often' because every time we eat we raise insulin levels. Keep to two or three meals per day, without snacking in between. God bless you.
Hey, does this exercise help in regulating my cycles if I'm not overweight? Can you give any tips for people who have pcos but are not looking to loose weight.
Hey Cyster! Who can relate to working out every day and not seeing results?! Let me know in the comments your workout experience with PCOS!
I love it. It's easy, simple and super helpful. Thank you dear, you two are the best 💞
I’m so happy I found you on Instagram and now here on TH-cam. I never understood my PCOS, thank you for your guidance! 😭 ( happy tears)
I am doing zumbha weekly thrice and doing high intense in weekend and gong for walking everyday for 4.miles.but the results are zero
Yep, doing cardio but not seeing any results and poor sleep quality, I am waiting for cbd oil

I'm 100% with you. Have gotten so down on myself about the same thing. It's so demoralizing and you feel so isolated, like nobody gets it. I literally gave up because of seeing NO results. Now my doc wants me on Ozempic but can't get covered for it so far! Gonna see what else I can do, I'm also hypothyroid.
I’m type 1 diabetic, and because of this I already am constantly monitoring my blood sugars. For a couple of years now I had been noticing that 1) I gain like 10 lbs every year even though I don’t eat badly. I already have autoimmune diabetes so most of my diet is already sugar free and low carb. And I rarely eat out. 2) I keep having to increase my insulin. I kept telling my doctor that something was wrong, but because my A1C was 5.8 (pretty dang good for a 20 year Diabetic), they thought I was being “hard on myself”. But alas, the reason my A1C was still good, was because *I KEPT HAVING TO PUMP MORE AND MOOORE INSULIN INTO MY BODY!* this past year I noticed my hair is coming out in chunks, I’m bloating with water, my premenstrual symptoms keep getting worse and worse and my insulin needs keep increasing. I finally told all this to my gyno, and also expressed my frustration with my diabetes doctor. She tested my hormones and said they look normal, but scheduled me for an ultra sound. And sure enough, she saw some PCOS like inflammation on my ovaries. She suggested birth control, but I’m going to do things the natural way first. I don’t find birth control to be a solution, but a bandage. The moment I stop taking it (like when I’m ready to have a kid), I’ll be back to square 1. So instead of pumping insulin when my sugars are stubbornly high after a meal, I try and go for a walk. And that tends to work. I’ve also started trying beginners weight training with like 3lb weights lol, and also beginners Pilates. And I notice that for the next 2 days after just a 20 or 30 minutes of (not even a drop off sweat and i’m a sweaty person) these exercises, I’m almost struggling to keep my blood sugar from going too low and end up having to snack to not have a low emergency. But yea I’ve just started. I thank God though, because I feel like because of my diabetes, I was able to catch it quite quickly. I don’t think my case is bad, it’s just on the cusp. And because I’m already always wearing a CGM. And because my body doesn’t make it’s own insulin, I noticed when things were going weird, and I noticed also that I’m taking more and more insulin because I have to manually pump it into my body myself. I heard it was possibly for type 1 diabetics to get “double diabetes”, which is not only does your body not make insulin, but you are also insulin resistant, so the insulin you inject isn’t working just like in type 2 diabetics, the insulin their body makes just isn’t working. So Yay 😅 . But one thing I’ve always said is that if I had the opportunity to avoid full blown diabetes like type 2 diabetics often have, I would have taken the opportunity to. Because I have autoimmune diabetes (the same thing Nick Jonas has), I didn’t have a choice. But with this “double diabetes”/PCOS thing, I do have the potential to rectify it. And with the support of God that’s what I’m working toward 🥂
it's so aggravating ive tried everything and i feel like i gain weight but as soon as the pandemic hit i actually stopped exercising and i LOST weight but i don't want to not do anything i want to be healthy im so glad i found your channel!😭
I ones has PCOS and it was very painful, and my diverticulitis disease was hell for me as well.I am glad that today DR RORPOPOR HERBAL I met on TH-cam was able to help me cure them all with his herbs.🌿🌿🌿

I agree with you on here about exhausting exercises. I used to be a cleaner at a nursing home & sometimes I had the whole center to clean myself & I would clean for 8 hrs. 5 x a week & you would think I would lose weight being that active everyday but I actually gained weight which was frustrating. What helped me lose weight was doing restorative yoga & I did it on my bed so my back didn’t hurt not laying on the hard floor. I did this yoga right when I got up for the day & before eating breakfast & in 1 week I lost 1” off my waist & lost 5 lbs. I didn’t change my diet at all. Yoga lowers cortisol especially when you do the slow breathing exercises in the restorative yoga. I like doing Jen Hilman restorative yoga. This all makes sense now what you’re saying on this video. I always wondered why when I exercised fast I would gain 5 lbs. of fluid & got upset gaining more weight. Now I just have to relax & heal myself up like you say in this video. Thanks! 😊
I love you both 💓!! Please post more workout videos for PCOS and videos on increasing fertility with PCOS! Thank you
Debo decir que este video me hizo llorar, una vida luchando contra mi cuerpo y mi autoestima, para enterarme que ningún doctor jamás me ayudó a entender mi síndrome.
Es increíble lo injusto y doloroso que se siente.
Corrí, caminé, hice bicicleta, mil horas de aeróbica, natación, aparatos, localizada, y no había resultado incluso con la dieta.
Simplemente me hizo felíz el video y triste por la cantidad de años que perdí
I wish I had found your channel sooner. I was beating myself up over not being able to lose the weight I wanted. I was stuck at 140 lbs and no amount of exercise or diet worked. I was super strict with my diet, i weighed everything. I was killing myself trying to get 125lbs which is a more appropriate weight for my height. Then when I got sick and diet alone wasn't keeping my weight down I just gave up. Now I'm heavier than ever and trying to get my health back.
This is what I really need right now. I have been working out for 6x weeks 40minutes a day but I gained instead of losing weight
I want to appreciate DR RORPOPOR HERBAL on TH-cam who has general cure for all kinds of disease such as Staph, HPV, HIV, herpes treatment, cancer, diabetes, fardyce spots, and many others i was completely cured from PCOS.💯💯💯..🥳
I've been waiting for this! Before I thought, that in order to lose weight I have to do intense hour workouts! Thank you
I was combining 10,000 steps a day or more workouts with lifting. All I want is to close my rings on my Apple Watch every day Lol I thought being more active, burning calories, getting sweaty and pumping hard energy into my body was the way to go, and it hasn’t worked. But, you’re telling me with PCOS I should forget about all those movements, steps and cardio and just weight lift? Correct? This is intriguing and I’m mind blown.
I would love to see a full workout video with you both. But I will try to keep these in mind, thank you.
This is really helpful information. I spent so many years milking myself in the gym or doing multiple workouts in a day.
omg I feel so vindicated and heard!! I was doing HIIT orange theory workouts for 5 days a week and GAINING weight. My question is - how do you know when a workout is "Stressful" to your body? Are their signs you should look for while working out that tell you "hey slow down" or "hey it's too much"??
How do you feel after working out? Energized & good? That's probably a good sign. Fatigued & miserable? That's probably a sign it's too much.
If u have a little discomfort in breathing but u still can make conversation with anyone then it’s good but wen u r out of breath that’s anaerobic exercise already not good for cortisol sensitive people
Exact same thing with me while preparing for my wedding. OT 5 days a week and gained 20 lbs. it was horrible.
That happened to me! I was killing myself in OTF and I could feel the muscle but the fat stayed. Ugh
If you can breathe through your nose it is stress relieving. If you have to breathe through mouth it is stressful, which is fine in spurts like 10-15 min workouts every other day.
I lost 10 pounds when COVID hit because I used to go to the gym. Running on the treadmill for 30 minutes or more and doing other cardio workout. I went for a few years and still kept the same weight. When COVID hit and gyms were closed I went walking and lost weight that way. Now it makes sense why.
Hey,
I enjoy listening to your podcast and watching your TH-cam not only has it helped me a lot but your information is understanding & clear. I have share many of your videos with some of my friends who have PCOS and now they have good results thanks to you!
Gosh i love this channel. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much, that means a lot!❤️
Tallene i appreciate both of u so much.God sent.Where would i be without u both😭♥️🥰😘
Please post more step by step workouts in real time! It's super helpful to follow along with you and Sirak!!
So I’ve been in a Body Recomposition journey (build muscle, get strong, replace fat) and this video makes me feel 10 times better 🙂 I was really worried that more muscle would elevate my testosterone (which I read can happen if you fast after a workout but won’t if you eat some carbs and protein) and thus why I have been spotting here and there (always occurs when I’m active after being sedentary for a loooooong time). Some things I have noticed since I have been trying to build muscle: my pants fit better, I get this airy feeling randomly like when you’ve been playing tag for hours as a child, my skin isn’t dry anymore! whiteheads (because my skin isn’t dry anymore), spotting here and there, I can see muscle definition when I flex, the number on the scale is more stable (no increase or much decrease). I am not focusing on the scale because that’s the least important part of Body Recomp. There’s people with fabulous results who weigh as much as they did starting but they look waaaaay better.
I appreciate this video so much. This is so informative and healing. I think we as women have been taught to feel shame about our bodies.
I'm so happy to have found your channel, and the committed work you both do to educate women who struggle with PCOS. I'm newly diagnosed and there's not a lot of information or conflicting information out there on workouts for PCOS.
This all connects the dots and makes me feel so relived because you explain just how I feel! Can't wait to not stress my body out and continue to heal 🙌😌 God bless you two!
I dance a lot. Does this mean my intense dancing can affect me? This would break my heart. I don't want to be afraid of dance. I love my dance. :(
It broke my heart as well when I had to give up my HIIT Dancing class workouts, BUT I still dance regularly in my room or when I go out dancing and I make sure to take regular breaks, I also make sure to paire t with Low Impact/Intensity workouts which works well for me. Hope this help you too 💜 Dancing is Happiness!
Such great information! I’m so thankful I found you’re page 🙏🏻
So happy you found me too Cyster 💕
Would absolutely be grateful if you could make a small slow weighted workout video , something to add to our routine 🙏❤️
How heavy should the weights be and how many reps should I do? The exercises look doable and I like it that I can do them standing up. ☺️
Hi, I’ve been loving all your videos. I learned a lot and now doing the exercises. I hope you can post more pcos friendly excercises. Just like the others, I wasted money going to the gym and even got myself a personal trainer. But didn’t help me loose weight. Now, I realized its the cortisol. Just really hoping you guys can post more excercises. Thank you!
So happy I found your instagram and started to understand why my body behave like it do. Thank you! 🙏
Thank you for all this information we love you Cyster 😍
Thanks for such a thoughtful video around workout with PCOS, i have been following your account recently and have benefitted from all of your videos.
No wonder I remember enjoy doing weights more than cardios. But I enjoy dancing. ☺️ Thank you so much!
So glad I found your page. Thank you!
Brilliant video thanks so much!
Thank you so much gonna try this. Wish me luck😊
I'm going through this right now!1 I was very upset when I stepped on the scale to see I've gained more weight!! I've been eating healthy and working out at the gym like crazy and still gained weight. It's so upsetting and hard to explain to other people!
I’m so excited about the CBD giveaway! I hope this is the right video to post, I couldn’t comment on the live stream, I’ll definitely be catching up on your TH-cam content
Wow! I was doing the same thing working out 6 days a week hard core with no results and I started to blame it on my age! But now I know I was not taking the right approach for my health since I have PCOS and hashimoto.
Hi! Would love made a video that I could follow when doing a workout. It’s hard to figure out how many reps and how long. Following a workout video the whole time would be a game changer and more motivating!
Love you guys!
Thanks to My Master i found your page i will start everything soon
This video and coming across your Instagram was a Godsend! 🙌🏻 Thank you so much!
I recently joined a gym and have been doing high intensity workouts several times a week and feel like I'm just packing on the pounds and not only because of muscle gain.This happened last time I joined the gym. I remember when I started doing pilates a while back the weight just started dropping off but unfortunately the pilates classes are too expensive :( I also feel I feel extremely restless and irritable after doing high impact workouts rather than happy
Thank you for all your help!
I was diagnosed a month ago but was told to go on the pill and lose weight. By taking your quiz I realised I have inflammatory PCOS.
I am now one month gluten and dairy free and my symptoms have already got better.
I have also reduced my CrossFit workouts from 6 to 4 and feel so much better. I walk a lot (we are in lockdown is Australia) but I still do dumbbell workouts. I’m excited I found your podcast and now I look forward to watching your TH-cam Chanel.

Hi do you take inastol as well
@@chatyshay9284 yes I do, I also take vitamin D, evening primrose oil and NAC.
omg is no one talking about 7:05?! so funny, love the lighthearted humor!!
this video was really helpful overall
Thank you for the video 😍🥰 I was experiencing the same what you just mentioned.
The running in place intro though 👌🏼
Thank you! 🙂
Very helpful! I was doing a lot of cardio but would only lose a couple of pounds just to gain them back again. 😩
I can really relate, thank you for this video now will change my workout routine since i see no change on weight 😒
I ones has PCOS and it was very painful, and my diverticulitis disease was hell for me as well.I am glad that today DR RORPOPOR HERBAL I met on TH-cam was able to help me cure them all with his herbs.🌿🌿🌿
Could you make a workout video focusing on some of these? (Like different workouts and how long to do)
Can you make this a printable spreadsheet? For us visual people? I would totally put it on my wall and do those exercises every other day.
Hi Cyster! I share tons of workouts including videos in the Cysterhood! Would you be interested? 💕
These are sooo helpful!
I am so glad that I actually found your youtube because I follow you on pintrest and you are amazing. Im looking forward to losing weight, my only issue is that I was told to only eat turkey and chicken in order to actually lose. But I only eat fish is that really an issue if I dont eat meat?
I had/have the same problem!!! Workout a ton and never loss anything and only seemed to get bigger. So over and so defeating.
Glad I found your videos. Life has been so hard as I've been grtting older. I go to zumba and clubbercise but now I'm thinking this could make my body stressed. Are these classes OK if we don't push too hard? I find them so much fun. :) i am overweight and taking insotol for insulin resistance. ill be watching more of your videos! Thanks
This makes a lot of sense, I just wish you'd mention that adrenal fatigue is not really scientifically proven to exist. It must be something else.
hi cyster! is it possible for you to do a video dedicate to the workout so we can watch and follow the workouts with you? i usually follow a work out on youtube but ever since i got diagnosed, none of the workouts seems effective and i was hoping maybe you could do one huhu thank you!
Very insightful, thank you so much! 🙏🏻❤️
Awesome, I hopE 🙏🏻really wish to see results after doing those exercises 🙏🏻
I want to appreciate DR RORPOPOR HERBAL on TH-cam who has general cure for all kinds of disease such as Staph, HPV, HIV, herpes treatment, cancer, diabetes, fardyce spots, and many others i was completely cured from PCOS.💯💯💯..🥳

Hello, this is very informative, and so on point, how many reps and sets should we do from each work out?
You can do up to 3 reps, sets of 10! It’s totally up to you and what you prefer 💕
I love your podcasts and your videos! They have been so helpful to me. I have a question, why is it like influencers like Sarah’s Day are able to do high intensity training and stay incredibly lean? She has PCOS.
There are people that have lean PCOS. Plus she’s also trying to sell her brand so making it look “fun” helps.
I don’t believe she truly has PCOS. She has said herself that they diagnosed her with a saliva test, which has been proven to be ineffective for diagnosing PCOS. She doesn’t have polycystic ovaries either. Sarah loves to self-diagnose herself with all kinds of intolerances and I believe she did the same thing with PCOS, as well as the time she claimed to cure the cancerous cells on her cervix with clean eating. She makes these claims almost consistently without any scientific evidence or qualifications to back up her opinions. Take what she says with a pinch of salt!
If you watch her older videos, she has textbook PCOS and was diagnosed by a practitioner. They even put her on hormonal birth control and that significantly improved her symptoms. She also adopted a gluten-free dairy free lifestyle and It was shown to be really successful for her! I don’t think she was self diagnosing, but that’s just my opinion.
@@veronicajohnson5154 I myself have PCOS and used to binge watch her older content so I am really familiar with all of that. However, her “practitioner” was a naturopath not an actual doctor (because she doesn’t believe in Western medicine). Sarah’s missing periods were very likely down to over-exercising and under-eating rather than PCOS - she herself has stated that she was training too hard and not nourishing herself enough. As soon as she started eating more carbs her period came back and she has had 0 fertility issues since (now on her second pregnancy!)
@@sophias8848 I also have PCOS and the only doctor that would listen to me was a naturopath. Both of my primary care doctors told me my symptoms were nothing. Bottom line- I don’t really think is our place to determine whether someone is lying about a diagnosis or not. That’s kinda a bold claim to make and for what?? Why are you determined for her to be a liar? You don’t know her personally you only see glimpses of her life through TH-cam. Also it’s not impossible to get pregnant with PCOS- especially given her GF DF lifestyle for the last decade and supplementation.
Omg i have done it but it hurts very bad the next day my thighs were like hell super sore. The exercise looks cool but is as effective as it sucks thighs😅
Hey dear, I ll try this at home. Hope this helps me Im sick really sick for intense workouts
Hi Cyster Will these exercises target belly fat? I know spot reduction is a myth 😅 but I don't have much fat in any other part of the body. Just the stubborn belly fat from being lazy for a yr in lockdown+pcos making it easier. I thought cardio,HIIT+crunches situps might be the best option to burn the belly fat faster
I have PCOS but I don't have this problem. I've been able to do intesne work outs and I was able to loose weight like anyone without PCOS. But I know everyone is different.
Yeah, there are different PCOS types. I believe they share more about the different types on this channel. I's very interesting 💜
Hey Cyster! Thank you so much for this video ! I wanted to ask if you could make a video dedicated to what to do for exercise. If you could provide us with a workout program or schedule which would be affective for fat loss. I’ve been doing cardio for a month - I lost 5kgs in the beginning but now I’m not loosing anything anymore. I would really like some kind of schedule to follow along with effective exercise for a daily exercise session - please please please 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
So so relatable
I ones has PCOS and it was very painful, and my diverticulitis disease was hell for me as well.I am glad that today DR RORPOPOR HERBAL I met on TH-cam was able to help me cure them all with his herbs.🌿🌿🌿
I went through it too. Kickboxing, running. and Tae Kwan do and would gain a lot.
I drop refined sugar and do hiit cardio with weight exercises and lost 15 kg. But when i stop training(because I study 15 hours a day without any physical activity,for university.) my legs and hips starts to gain fat. I try to eat so less but I can’t stop gaining fat because of not being active. Do you guys have any tips for me? I’m pcos btw
We should do these workouts everyday?
very useful thankyou
Fantastic 💥
Thank you so much. Its a big help. One request can you please suggest an alternative exercise to replace lunges as it hurts my knee.
Hey Cyster! 💕 One thing you can do to take off pressure from the knees is using a chair with squats to take the pressure off the knees. So you can sit up from the chair in a squat position and this will help to strengthen the legs and take off pressure from the lower body at the same time. Here is also an article that provides some great exercises for bad knees www.webmd.com/pain-management/knee-pain/injury-knee-pain-16/slideshow-knee-exercises
would love a written out workout routine i could bring with me
Can you show some for people with bad knees please?
I remember I used to walk for everyday 5 km for over a month and instead of losing weight I kept on gaining. So I just ended up giving up
Thank you for this! Would like to ask What weights or dumbbells do you recommend for pcos workout? Or what weights are you using in this video?
Depending on your level of strength and the exercise you're performing, 0.5kg - 2kg 😀 start lighter and build up 💜
You can't outrun a bad diet. PCOS is underpinned by insulin resistance. The key is to eat less foods that over-stimulate insulin.
Get most of the energy you need from natural fat (3:2 monounsaturated to saturated, the same as our body's fat).
God bless you.
What all foods should I eliminate? Other than refined flour and sugar and junk food.
It isn't necessary to eliminate foods per se@@nishthakaushik4766. It involves making educated choices.
Don't eat starches alone for instance. Having a jacket potato without butter or cheese is terrible advice, as is cutting the fat from meat, or choosing lower-fat versions of dairy, as they all increase the demand for insulin.
Keep to RI of protein per day, and only half the RDA of carbohydrate is generally adequate.
Don't be suckered by health claims of Weetabix, Shredded Wheat, Bran Flakes nor wholemeal bread; they are all turned to glucose faster than table sugar in the body. Again, if you have them, have them in very small amounts as part of a balanced meal, with veg, a small amount of protein, and enough natural fat.
Pulses are mostly slower release, but even so, processing food like baked beans makes them demand very high amounts of insulin too.
As important is the frequency of eating; don't eat 'little and often' because every time we eat we raise insulin levels. Keep to two or three meals per day, without snacking in between.
God bless you.
Hey, does this exercise help in regulating my cycles if I'm not overweight? Can you give any tips for people who have pcos but are not looking to loose weight.
What should be the weight of dumbell 1kg or 2kg?
