To Cardio or Not to Cardio....

[Georgia_Peach]

Thank you for the info. I tried looking for the link for spreadsheet and couldn't find it. 😊

If you click on the "TTC a Girl" forum, there's a section at the top titled "sub-forums" and there's a link that says "current results data for ttc a girl." That's the link to the spreadsheet.

So but within our stats here on GD what is the higher % of success. High cardio or couch potato method? Just out of curiosity.😊

Cardio by far.

The spreadsheet says 68% success for exercise and 60% for couch potato.

And that is just a SNAPSHOT frozen in time of what the stats are THIS month. Over the course of time the exercise has consistently been above 70 and even 75% for months/years at a time and I highly recommend it.

Please don't take our stats too seriously. They are practically for information purposes only and they truly are just a moment in time. I have the ability to see past the stats as they sit in June 2016 because I've been at this for so long and take many, many observations into account - including the blue sway results where a significant chunk of opposites were in exercise freaks that did not stop doing their extreme cardio.

Here is an indepth analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the stats http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...hts-stats.html

Not to hijack your post Nessa but this really got me thinking. I have been trying so hard to fit in my cardio and I just went through my Fitbit app to mark on my calendar when I have actually gotten the full 60 minutes in one setting in. Turns out I have only averaged 3 days per week. I only made it to 5 days ONCE. I really thought I was doing better than that! My attempt is supposed to be coming up in 2 weeks and now I am not so sure I can even count my exercise as part of my sway. I am a nurse so I am on my feet all day and have the hardest time coming home and getting cardio in on days I work. Should I just hit it hard the next two weeks or do I really need to push my attempt out longer? This is my last hope for a girl so I want the best possible chance!

Great question!
I will wait for atomic's response for sure.
For me I rem with my last sway I was doing cardio then stopped the week before and during my attempt. It was to hard to maintain. I got my girl but I rem being worried about that!

I want you to go ahead and TTC this month. As a nurse you are almost certainly getting MORE than enough exercise just from your work and any cardio you've tacked onto that will only help.

If anything we could do for a week mattered to a sway in any appreciable way, we'd only sway for a week.
