I already have such low supply, I don't want to harm it even more by working out :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-able-to-work-out-without-decreasing-supply#post-707154 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 09:06:18 +0000 mamabolt 707154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never worked out super intensely post partum, but I was able to run 2-3x a week and do an exercise video 1-2x a week without impacting supply. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-able-to-work-out-without-decreasing-supply#post-707115 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 08:58:18 +0000 MsLipGloss 707115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: I am pretty sure my workouts contributed to my supply issues. . . any extended cardio seemed to negatively impact my supply. I say *seemed* because it is just so hard to pinpoint whether it was stress, extended cardio, what I ate/didn't eat . . . but on days where everything was pretty much the same, I had to assume it was the cardio. BUT, that is not always the case! Sometimes despite eating clean whole foods, getting plenty of water, and as much rest as possible, I still have an off pumping day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-able-to-work-out-without-decreasing-supply#post-706374 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 20:08:10 +0000 Boheme 706374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd really like to go back to Zumba and running but I don't want to compromise breastfeeding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-able-to-work-out-without-decreasing-supply#post-706292 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 19:32:41 +0000 Maysprout 706292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I worked out a lot with decent intensity and it never affected my supply. I ate more and drank lots of water. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-able-to-work-out-without-decreasing-supply#post-706251 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 19:06:59 +0000 kml636 706251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think workouts really have had any effect on my supply. I do treadmill intervals twice a week, weights/running with the stroller twice a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-able-to-work-out-without-decreasing-supply#post-706226 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 18:44:56 +0000 stlginkgo 706226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want advice too!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-able-to-work-out-without-decreasing-supply#post-706216 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 18:39:59 +0000 hilsy85 706216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>bumping this!

How much were you able to do without affecting breastfeeding? </p>
