Top Features of Best Treadmills for Pregnancy 2024

The Cushion Flex Whisper Deck is a pregnancy-friendly treadmill designed to reduce joint impact by up to 40%. The treadmill also features built-in heart rate monitors for safe exercise intensity, allowing users to tailor workouts to their specific needs and maintain a healthy pregnancy.

Spacious Deck

A wider running surface, such as the 22" x 60" deck offered on SOLE F80 series treadmills, provides ample space to maintain proper form and stability. This is especially crucial during pregnancy as your center of gravity shifts, potentially impacting your balance.

Cushioned Belt

Pregnancy hormones cause ligaments to loosen, making your joints more susceptible to stress. Most SOLE treadmills feature innovative cushioning technologies known as the Cushion Flex Whisper Deck. This extra cushioning helps reduce the impact on your joints, making workouts more comfortable on your joints.

Adjustable Speed

SOLE treadmills offer a wide range of variable speeds, typically starting from 0.5 miles per hour (MPH). This allows you to begin with gentle walks and gradually increase the intensity as your fitness level progresses.

Built-In Heart Rate Monitors

Monitoring heart rate during exercise is crucial during pregnancy. A built-in heart rate monitor helps maintain a safe range. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends that pregnant women maintain a moderate-intensity exercise heart rate of between 140 and 150 beats per minute (bpm). The console often integrated into handrails, allows you to monitor all aspects of your workouts to maintain beneficial heart rates without overdoing it.
