No, there’s no reason to worry that exercise will impact your breastfeeding or milk supply. As long as you drink plenty of water – and maintain a healthy breastfeeding diet that accounts for the extra 450 to 500 daily calories your body needs when nursing – even vigorous exercise won't significantly affect the supply or composition of your breast milk. That said, you'll want to avoid exercises that make your breasts sore or tender. Fernandes Da Mota PG, et al. 2015.

For many people, a traditional treadmill can be the ultimate fitness tool for your home. Whether it's pouring outside or it's simply too late to go for a stroll outdoors, having the convenience of a treadmill steps away can be key to working toward a healthier active lifestyle. However, not only is this piece of home exercise equipment costly, but it can also take up a considerable amount of space.

That's where foldable treadmills come in. Designed to help save space, this versatile choice can be a game-changer when it comes to home fitness and small spaces. What's more, you don't have to sacrifice quality either — newer entries into the foldable treadmill space are offering competitive features and capabilities that you would expect from a regular treadmill, all with the added bonus of saving space when not in use. But some foldable treadmills are more compact than others, and some are ideal choices for high-intensity runs whereas others are better used for leisurely walks to stay active.

Try to find one taught by a postpartum exercise specialist. Many YMCAs, recreation centers, gyms, and yoga studios offer in-person (and sometimes virtual) exercise classes for new moms. Popular online programs, like Peloton and Daily Burn, have dedicated postpartum workouts you can stream from your house. If you can’t find a postpartum-specific class, try one that focuses on low-impact toning and stretching. Buttner MM, et al. 2015.

If you've had a vaginal delivery, it’s safe to start light abdominal exercises within days of giving birth. (Moms who are recovering from a c-section may need to wait at least a few weeks longer, as you're recovering from a major abdominal surgery.) Note that “light” is the key word here. Take it easy on your abdominal muscles and don't do any traditional sit-ups or crunches for the first several months after delivery – these put too much stress on those muscles and aren't effective for rebuilding abdominal strength. verifyErrors }}{{ message }}{{ /verifyErrors }}{{ American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. 2020.

If saving space is your top priority, look no further than the Echelon Stride. This compact, treadmill folds up to a height of just 10 inches to lay flat against the wall or easily slide under most beds. We like that it features a 4.6-foot running belt that will suit most runners and that it reaches speeds up to 12 mph, which is a higher max speed than most foldable treadmills. You'll also be able to take advantage of 12 incline levels. Incline: Being able to adjust the incline on your walk or run is one of the best ways to replicate an outdoor environment. Though most folding treadmills include an adjustable incline, some models require you to adjust the incline manually, meaning you’ll have to stop your workout and step off the treadmill to make any changes. Wear a supportive sports bra while working out, and try to nurse your baby before you exercise so your breasts won't feel uncomfortably full. If your breasts feel sore during workouts, try wearing two fitness bras for extra support. What are the signs that I may need to slow down on the postpartum exercise?
