Brief summary: the aim of the study was to investigate the effect of aerobic and resisted exercise program on lipid profile and quality of life in overweight breastfeeding women.

Detailed description: Although previous studies reported that exercise training during the postpartum period could improve the lipid profile and quality of life in overweight women and reduce the postpartum fatigue . None of them had investigated the effect of aerobic and resisted exercises on lipid profile and quality of life in overweight breastfeeding women.this trial will include 2 groups:

Group (A): was consist of 27 overweight breastfeeding women, who received nutritional recommendation and faradic current stimulation for 20 min on abdominal surface 2 times per week for 12 weeks.

Group (B): was consist of 27 overweight breastfeeding women, who received the same nutritional recommendation and faradic current stimulation for 20 min on abdominal surface 2 times per week plus exercise training (aerobic + resisted) for 12 weeks.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

1. All of women were sedentary, non-smoking, breastfeeding women at their 3rd to 6th months postpartum
2. they had delivered a single, healthy, mature fetus with no complications through normal vaginal delivery.
3. Their age was ranged from 20 to 30 years old.
4. Their parity number was one or two.
5. They were overweight (body mass index (BMI) was ranged from 25 to 30 kg/m²).

Exclusion Criteria:

2. Receiving any type of physical exercise or sport.
3. Following a specific diet program.
