Dr. Alfredo Nieves answered

Specializes in Gynecology

Probably okay: A cyst of this size may twist while running or coul even rupture with impact exercises. Low impact work outs, elliptical, stair master , bicycle better than running . Also careful with deep penetration if you are sexually active.
