To exercise or not to exercise

[ksmom]

I've been trying to decide if I should exercise and if I do, what type would be best. I can't really lose anymore weight without being underweight for my height (I currently weigh 98 lbs.) I do get some exercise I suppose because my two boys are still young. I realize exercise by itself won't sway but I'm trying to figure out if I should use it in conjunction with the LE diet I'm already on. DH wants to get me a treadmill so I can go back to running since it's almost always too hot here for me to run outdoors. Should I incorporate exercise (i.e. walking, running) or not?

Unfortunately my crystal ball is in the shop this week and I honestly can't say what to do. I really don't have the data to know whether it's best to eat more and exercise, or to eat less and not exercise (and it may be different for every individual anyway)

Exercise by itself DOES sway BTW.

lol Well I know you can't predict the future (although it would be nice if you could hehe). I think I'm just going to go ahead and exercise since I was pretty much a couch potato when I conceived my boys.

I didn't realize exercise alone swayed. I guess I misunderstood when I was reading the exercise portion of the ttc a girl library.

I think you should exercise and just eat enough that you don't lose weight. I am also technically underweight and I'd be exercising if I could! A treadmill sounds perfect, both running & walking (for at least 60 min daily) are great for pink.

If you can commit to the 60 minutes a day, 5-7 days a week of cardio, DO IT! I know we're not supposed to look too deeply into the stats, but exercise has been so successful, I'd say it's one of the best sway tactics that we can control for pink (most of us can't simply elect to get on Clomid or try again right after a loss.) I definitely credit my exercise plan as a significant part of my successful sway.

The most ******lined and best pink plan I've seen is LE vegetarian diet for 12+ weeks, exercise (cardio only, 60 minutes a day, 5-7 days a week for 6+ weeks,) OLE for DH, one attempt at +OPK. Everything else is just gravy :)

Good luck!

Okay, so I think the consensus here is exercise is definitely a yes. May I ask what kind of cardio exercise you did? I'm thinking of either getting a treadmill or a stationary bike.

Treadmill or hometrainer are both fine. As long as it is cardio it is fine

I've been doing treadmill daily x

I love walk away the pounds! I get it on YouTube, but I have to use 3-5lbs weights to get any calorie burn. My metabolism is CRAZY high! I was nervous at first, but I wasn't losing any weight with eating few calories. Once I began to do this, the weight began to fall away. I had a huge fitness base before swaying, so my case may be different from others. I just can't do a treadmill- I feel like a mouse on a wheel! Lol!

I have a list on my sky planner a mile long of hourly long programmes to watch whilst on for my 60 minutes! Makes time go quicker!!!

I did a combination of treadmill, elliptical, and stationary bike. It doesn't have to be HARD, it just has to be a bit of a challenge for you. Seriously, I was speedwalking on an incline on the treadmill and that was enough as long as I kept it up for an hour.

Yes, I caught up on a lot of TV and Candy Crush while I was on my pink exercise plan :)
