    Do I HAVE to exercise???

    I can if I have to, but I've already lost like 10 pounds in the last 8-10 weeks doing the diet alone...is just doing the diet, enough? I'm a petite girl so can't lose TOO much more if you kwim.
    I was thinking of trying this month (haven't actually started ttc yet) but will wait if I need to.

    You don't HAVE to exercise, the reason it's recommended is because it's getting good results.

    I guess what I'm saying is, is diet alone equal to or less than diet with exercise?
    Also I thought exercise raises testosterone?? I actually used to do cardio almost every night last year but got lazy in the winter, and then when I started learning about swaying I read something about exercise possibly raising testosterone so I've been staying away.
    If the results are much better than without exercise I'll do it of course.

    It is suggested to do cardio for 60 minutes, anything less can build muscle and raise testosterone. LE diet has 66% success rate , exercise has 90% link to stats http://genderdreaming.com/forum/tryi...readsheet.html some women just can't, either from ailments or no time, it's up to you.

    Does it have to be 60 min every day? What if it was 60 min 3 days a week...would that then build muscle and raise test? Sorry for all the questions I'm just so confused

    The more the better but I think atomic has said she has reason to believe the 60 mins is more important but idk I'd go for more than 3 days. It just seems too risky to me to only do 3 days. I wouldn't drop below 4-5 personally. I'm doing 6 though

    I would do minimum of 5 days a week at 60 minutes. I really wouldn't go below that. I am planning to do 5-6, some weeks will be 5 some will be 6. It would be interesting to see some women doing only 4 days a week and seeing how the results go with them.

    Same here, I do a minimum 60 min at least 5 times-the last few weeks before trying I'll do 6.

    I can't do the required amount of exercise to sway pink (reasons - underweight through diet so have lost ovulation and now risk my chances of falling pregnant at all plus due to back injury couldn't sustain more than moderate exercise) so have opted for the "couch potato" approach... ( If that's even possible with two crazy active boys and a busy lifestyle! Lol )
