PCOS Unfiltered:  Nourish, Heal, Thrive

How to Build a Sustainable Fitness Routine Without Burning Out, with Nicholas Arcata (Part 1)


Listen Later

đź’¬ In this episode, we cover:

  • The mindset shift from “I have to work out” to “movement is part of who I am”
  • Why strength training benefits women with PCOS and improves metabolic health
  • Overcoming the fear of “getting bulky” and building lean, supportive muscle
  • How to align your workouts with your menstrual cycle and energy fluctuations
  • The connection between exercise, mood, and sleep quality
  • Why “consistency over intensity” is the key to long-term results
  • Balancing training intensity with recovery, nutrition, and stress management
  • The role of wearable tech and body awareness in tracking progress
  • Strategies to prevent burnout while building a sustainable fitness habit

đź§  Key Takeaways:

  • You don’t need to train harder — you need to train smarter and more consistently.
  • Exercise is a tool to build confidence and resilience, not just a way to change your body.
  • Strength training supports insulin sensitivity, hormone balance, and long-term health.
  • Listening to your body is just as important as showing up for the workout.
