What are the best types of exercises for PCOS?

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a term used to describe a collection of symptoms associated with not ovulating (producing an egg) on a monthly basis. It is associated with an imbalance in hormone levels that lead to weight gain and difficulty losing weight. Treatment starts with lifestyle changes, including taking in fewer calories, staying physically active and dedicating more time for exercise. There are no specific exercises that offer special benefits. Women with PCOS should do at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity exercise combined with resistance training two times per week.
