Being a new momma is a busy job! With so many different stressors pulling you a million directions, it can be hard to find time to get in a calorie -blasting workout. Whether you just had your first baby, you’re working off leftover pregnancy weight, or simply need a way to burn calories fast, this is the workout for you! Treadmills have a bad reputation for being high impact, which can be intimidating when your body has had so many recent changes. No need to fear! During this workout, we’ll keep the speeds low and the inclines moderate. There are two terms that we’ll use throughout this post that you might not be familiar with -- they’re defined below. If you have iFit Coach and would like to have a worry-free workout, click here to schedule the workout that we’ve already built for you.
