PCOS/beginner work out routines
Hey yall, as the title suggests I have PCOS and that stubborn fat isn’t going anywhere. I know I need to have a more well rounded routine for working out at the gym but I don’t know what in specific to change. Any advice on my routine is appreciated.
Random info that might be helpful:
-I do deal with insulin resistance and stubborn fat
- Love CrossFit type workouts
- Love HIIT workouts
- Willing to do cardio
- Nervous about weightlifting (concern of injury) but wanting to get into it
- Working hard on keeping my diet healthy and focusing on nourishment more than calorie counting
-Mostly healed from a TBI that left me unable to walk so I had to regain all of my strength over the last 3 years.
Current Routine (Yes it was AI generated but I’ve been using it as my base)
- Mon – Strength + HIIT
Wed – Walking
Fri – Strength + HIIT
Walking days:
20–30 minutes
Pace: slightly out of breath but can still talk
2 min normal walk
1 min fast walk
repeat
HIIT days:
Workout A
Incline push-ups (bench or wall) – 3×8
Dumbbell rows – 3×8 each arm
Glute bridges – 3×10
Plank – 20–30 sec
Workout B
Lunges (assisted if needed) – 3×6 each leg
Dumbbell shoulder press – 3×8
Lat pulldown (machine) – 3×8
Deadlift (very light dumbbells) – 3×8
Plank– 3 rounds of 15 seconds
I really appreciate any and all suggestions and help.
