Can you exercise strenuously during ovulation?

Some people believe that strenuous exercise during ovulation may cause discomfort or bleeding. This is because during ovulation, a woman’s egg and sperm meet, form a fertilized egg, and implant in the uterus. If these cells are impacted or ruptured during strenuous exercise, bleeding or discomfort may result.

However, for most people, strenuous exercise during ovulation is okay. In fact, this period is an ideal time for many physical exercises because they increase cardiorespiratory fitness, improve muscle strength and endurance, and help reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke.

Of course, before engaging in strenuous exercise, you need to make sure you are in good health and free from chronic illness or injury. In addition, you need to determine whether strenuous exercise is possible based on your physical condition and your doctor's advice. If you have any concerns or questions, please consult a physician or professional athletic trainer.
