Exercise is probably one of the best treatments for your thyroid that you aren’t taking advantage of. Don’t believe me? Here are just some of the benefits:

1. Higher free thyroid hormone levels.

2. Lower TSH level.

3. Faster weight loss.

4. Increased muscle mass and better muscle health overall.

5. Improved mood.

6. More consistent bowel movements.

7. Reduced inflammation.

If you wanted to take advantage of a treatment that can help you almost as much as a thyroid medication (without the need for a prescription) then exercise is something you simply can’t ignore.

But how can you exercise for your thyroid? And if you do, how do you know which exercises are best?

Exercising with a thyroid condition is difficult, but not impossible. Symptoms like fatigue, and muscle pain, which can stem from low thyroid function, can limit your ability to exercise but the good news is that exercising can actually help alleviate these symptoms.

If you are going to exercise, the best combination of exercises includes aerobic exercise along with strength training. Doing both of these will allow you to take advantage of the benefits of exercise without causing more harm than good.

By the way, exercise works for ALL types of thyroid conditions including hyperthyroidism, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, hypothyroidism, thyroiditis, those post thyroidectomy, and those post radioactive iodine ablation.
