Will women secrete more testosterone when exercising?

For ordinary women who exercise regularly, their testosterone will only fluctuate slightly within a reasonable range. It will not be so high that it will cause "masculine" conditions that everyone is worried about, such as changing the voice or growing a beard. There is no need to worry about it.

After all, women's basal testosterone levels are only about one-twentieth of men's, and the threshold for secretion regulation is very tight, just like a small faucet equipped with a flow-limiting valve. Ordinary training stimulation can only be temporarily turned on a little higher on the day after training to supply energy to the muscles and help improve metabolism. After a few hours, it will automatically fall back to the normal range. Not to mention that this fluctuation does not reach the masculine threshold, but it has a positive effect on skin condition and energy. I have been practicing for almost 5 years. I do 3 times of strength and 2 times of aerobics every week. My body fat has been maintained at around 21 all year round. Last year, I had six hormones in my physical examination. My testosterone value was still in the middle of the reference range. Even the pain in my aunt that had been bothering me for several years has been relieved a lot. There is also a little sister next to me who has been practicing butt and leg training for 3 years. She does squats and deadlifts 4 times a week without paddling. Her hip circumference has increased by 8 centimeters. She wears a midriff-baring sling in the summer and her waist-to-hip ratio is amazing. Her skin is more delicate than before when she stayed up late and worked overtime for long periods of time. There is no moustache or rough voice that everyone is worried about.

In the past, some people always cited a few professional female bodybuilders as an example, saying that working out will make girls' testosterone levels become "manly". In fact, if you have a little knowledge of the industry, you will know that professional athletes who can grow large-scale muscles will basically use exogenous steroids and banned supplements during the preparation period. The abnormally elevated testosterone is not produced by training at all, but is added as an extra supplement. Ordinary enthusiasts can only practice for one and a half hours a day, and they will not touch those messy things. If you want to exceed the standard of testosterone through normal training, it is really as difficult as running into the Olympic finals through amateur running. It is simply impossible.

There are also many people who say that their testosterone levels were high after practicing for a while. In fact, most of them happened to hit the menstrual cycle fluctuations, or stayed up late during that period and were under great pressure. It has little to do with fitness. There are even reports from sisters with polycystic cysts that after doing low-intensity aerobic and core training for half a year, the originally high testosterone level has dropped, and the menstrual period has become more accurate. If you are really worried about hormone problems, just check the six hormone items every year for a regular physical examination. Control your training intensity normally, and don't buy "muscle-building supplements" or "quick fat-burning pills" from unknown sources online. There is no need to worry about this at all, and you can rest assured that you will finish your training.
