Exercise And Estrogen

[Guest Zoddy]

I'm aware that there may not be documented information on the subject, because most transgendered people tend to hate sports/Phys. Ed.

I'm wondering how physical exercise affects estrogen on a male body. Will it accelerate or lower (producing more testosterone?) estrogen's changes? There's also a chance that it may help maintain the sex drive...

One thing for sure is that exercise is better against blood clots.

I do hear that the more fatty tissue you have the more estrogen you body produces - male or female.

That may be problematic because normally my body fat is at 5%... right now is at 7% because I gained fat during winter: I'm not really a fan of ski/snowboard.

I'm very active, and don't plan to stop. In all honesty, I've been trying to gain weight for many years now!

Honey....

I don't know if you're pre HRT or not...

But most that go on HRT gain a little or have trouble losing what they do have!

Lizzy is right when male bodied people have more fat in the belly the body converts some of the testosterone into estrogen. When on estrogen getting regular exersice is good for HGH(human growth hormones), which helps to produce better feminization(especially fat distribution). When not on "E" exersice raises "T"(especially lifting weights). Good luck.
