Do you happen to have a calendar that maps this plan out?! Like a sample calendar. I am having a hard time planning out my week with this plan. Thanks so much! 💗
I have PCOS and I remember how l felt when the doctor toid me it would be hard for me to conceive I now have 4 children very successful pregnancies God blessed me with use of herbs!
Its hard to get out of the mindset of cardio cardio cardio. I have settled in to weight lifting and walking as my cardio instead of long hard core cardio and I have been consistently losing. Getting enough sleep is helpful as well.
Thank you for sharing. Yes if you’ve been a cardio bunny in the past it’s hard to change your ways LOL. Oh and for sure sleeping well is just so important
I can't even thank you enough for this! I'm starting my journey with PCOS weight loss and I'm soo frustrated because little to none doctors and dietitians in my country know about it. So I have been struggling to find a workout plan for my self as well as a diet plat. Thanks to you I have the workout plant in my pocket just need a solid food plan and everything will be good!!
Hello Erika, I found your videos very useful. You have a very basic and clear way of explaining things, and that makes it easier for people who are not educated enough on the topic to understand the essence. I was just wondering, for the HIIT sessions - for example I also have a blood circulation problem, so I was advised by my doctors NOT to do spinning, jogging and jumping because it is really pressurng my feet and veins. Do you have an advice what can a person with these issues do for a HIIT session? Thank you very much!
Great video! I have seen many say slow movements work best. I love strength training and my heart rate is pretty high through this workout, does that affect weight loss to your knowledge?
A higher heart rate indicates you're working hard aka burning more calories and stimulating more metabolic adaptations (good changes to your body) so it sounds like you're on the right track
I have heard over and over again by doctors and personal trainers that you should not do HIIT for PCOS, rather do low intensity cardio to help keep stress, cortisol and adrenal hormones down. Why do you recommend HIIT when it can make your cortisol levels rise and prevent weigh loss?
I've read similar claims about HIIT causing Cortisol to be high. I think the logic is flawed because the body's response to chronic stress (like sleep deprivation and emotional stress) is fundamentally different from how our bodies respond to exercise. From what I understand cortisol levels spike during vigorous exercise (like HIIT) and then drop quickly. Plus HIIT has been shown across multiple medical studies to be the most effective modality at improving insulin resistance in PCOS. IR is involved in some of the same feedback loops that chronically high cortisol is involved, so HIIT might even help with high cortisol (maybe). The only exception is over-exercising. Which is a form of chronic stress! To avoid over-exercising limit your workouts to no more than 60 minutes a session and I'd keep HIIT sessions to 20 minutes or less.
Hi! Thank you much so for this video..This has helped me a lot..I.have one question though and im looking forward to your response. My question is "If I do strength training + HIIT for MWF, do I still need to do HIIT on TTh?...
Hello! thanks for the info. Can you recommend some HIIT exercises of lower impact or no jumping? As I had a knee surgery 2 months ago and I still can't jump and I find hard to increase my heart rate. Thanks!
What about running? I would like to start training towards running in short intervals. Does that count as HIT? Or could that count as Cardio, or would that be too intense.
How much cardio should we do? I read that research showed that although cardio had good effects on the heart and insulin but it didnt necessarily show any indications of weight loss. Is a workout program like insanity deluxe good for pcos?
Great Video. I just want to ask you one question. One dietitian told me that girls with pcos should not do strength training as it increases the testosterone levels and it can make pcos worse. What do you think about this?
This is false. 100% false! In fact strength training is the most effective form of exercise for reducing testosterone in PCOS. You'll find more information in this video and in the video comments I link to the medical research that supports my statements :) th-cam.com/video/SbsqAH37XVg/w-d-xo.html
Thanks so much for the video! I have a question. If I do strength training M, W, F, and HIIT right after what will I do the rest of the days? Do I do restorative exercise T, TH, Sat, and Sun? Thank you!!
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.🌿🌿🌿
So for the high intensity part should it be torturus and umcomforble to the point that we "feel like dying" for it to be effectibe sorry to phrase it me bbut i think u know what i mean" if that is the case i dont blame people for hating real excercize
I may be over exercising. I workout 5 days a week, at one point I used to do it 6 days a week and sometimes twice a day. I lost weight, but now I’ve gained it all back despite still being active. No matter what I do, I cannot seem to get back down. Please help
There is an account on Instagram I have been following that explains all of this and gives diet and exercise tips. The account has helped me so much and educated me a lot about PCOS.

Hi! I struggle with bloating and I know working out can trigger it, but eating gluten free helped a lot decrease the bloating, and drinking spearmint tea.
Interesting - at the moment I’ve started doing 2 PT sessions push/pull, I do 3 days of walking, and 2 days of core rehabilitation exercises. Should probably get another lower body weight exercise in there and some HIIT and I will have ticked all the boxes in your video 🥲 Also need to get formally tested for PCOS but my GP is adamant that I likely have it
Sounds like you're on the right track Casey! High-five for being proactive and getting your booty into the gym! Getting a PCOS diagnosis is helpful, also it's important to rule out other conditions like hypothyroidism.
@@ThePCOSPersonalTrainer hi there! Thanks for responding. My last blood test indicated subclinical hypothyroidism. So... weight loss is just a nightmare but in any event, exercise is helping with mood etc. GP believes both. My PT is trying to get me onto a low GI diet but I’m wanting to see a dietician. I just need the diagnosis and I’ll be able to see a dietician for free.
Hello Nisha, Adrenal stress is generally brought on by not balancing your workout with proper recovery (aka over-exercising.) The few research studies available indicate that cysters respond very well to short HITT workouts several times a week. Just make sure you are doing things to promote recovery like sleeping enough, managing stress, taking light activity days and a PCOS friendly diet.
@@ThePCOSPersonalTrainer can you please show us these research studies that you are referring to? I feel so lost. There is no good regular care for cysters it seems..
This video is great! I do have a question as I’ve seen women with pcos should avoid having our heart rates very high during workout (eg. 150 bpm). When doing hiit for weight loss should I be doing the exercises full out then taking a break after each or do modifications to keep my heart rate low and get through the full 10-15 minutes. Also, would a good split be strength training M-F with hiit T and TH then restorative days on the weekend? Thanks in advance :)
Jilysa, I’m not sure where you saw that recommendation about PCOS and heart rate but it does not seem to be based on any research. Now if your healthcare provider a medical advised you to limit your heart rate, that’s a different matter.
Iam just 12 year old and iam sure i have pcos and im workoing out every time i can i want slim legs and workout for that and when i try i just bulking all the time like i want to be strong but i wanna be slim and it always bulking and iam so close to have big muscle in my legs So iam gonna do what you say and Wish my luck
I have a question: Is it healthy to buy healthy foods like tuna and chickpeas from a can? I feel like they are becoming my staple these days and I am curious that having them in can makes them unhealthy.
It’s not necessarily unhealthy but generally in canned they are soaked in a form of brine which can have extra salt etc in it so just to beware of that, as well as the soaking of food can lead to the leaching of nutrients so all that it would do at most is be taking away some water solvable vitamins etc :)
Hi!!!! What are your thoughts on Orangetheory Fitness? As someone with PCOS, does one Orangetheory training session cover the strength training & HIIT reqs you outlined in this video?
I’ve never tried orange theory. But from what I’ve heard about yes it is a combination of health and strength training. I think it could work well as long as you have paper cover the time in to work out sessions. Ultimately the most important thing is how you respond individually
Why is it better to do all strength training in one day rather than separating like upper body from lower body or working certain parts of the body on certain days?
For the average person that is trying to improve health or lose weight full-body routines are recommended. But if you are more advanced or simply prefer a body part split schedule, that is fine!
Nope :) The temporary cortisol spike associated with intense exercise does not seem to negatively impact long term hormonal health. In my opinion this is a PCOS myth. That said chronically high cortisol can mess with your hormonal health. Chronically high cortisol can be caused by many things. Most common triggers are sleep deprivation, chronic emotional stress, and abusing exercise or over-exercising. I talk more about this in my post about PCOS and Over-exercising.
I did a HIIT program with my PT along with a pcos food program and gained so much weight it's definitely not great for me personally but everyone is different just listen to your body 🙂

@@rgroenewald4192 hi!! So Ive been gluten and dairy free for just over a month.

It sounds like you might want to focus on creating a healthier relationship with food and exercise. Abusing exercise as a way to compensate for overeating is a painful cycle to get trapped in! I've been there myself. My PCOS got better only after I addressed these issues.
You don't burn as many calories in the moment however by weight lifting your body will continue to burn calories throughout the day. It is so good for your body nevermind your bodies composition
