Give your 🍈🍈 the support they deserve!!

If you were to be honest, how old is your go to sports bra? Is it really giving you the support it once did? 

One of the 🚧 roadblocks to exercise during pregnancy and beyond is finding comfortable, well-fitting clothes. This includes bras. 

We don't want to rely on your pre-pregnancy sports bra. 

🗒️ It's common to go up a cup size or two during pregnancy. This can then fluctuate throughout the day when we are nursing our baby. Many women will also notice they are also broader across the back because your rib cage has expanded to make room for your baby. This can change from morning to night. It will also take time to return to pre-pregnancy state after having your baby. 

🙅🏻‍♂️A badly-fitted bra can cause poor posture, back pain and neck pain. That means wearing one that feels comfortable, supports your breasts and back, and which stretches to accommodate your growing body is very important at this time. 

When we return to exercising postpartum we want to feel comfortable, supported and confident. We want a sports bra that limits bounce , particularly as we start to introduce impact. And breathable too for all those sweaty workouts! 💦

Not feeling comfortable or having an ill-fitting bra has been found to be a barrier to exercising. That really shouldn't be the case!

🛍️ So this weekend, go buy yourself a well fitted sports bra! You deserve it!!

"Exercise after having a baby is not just about about restoring and building physical fitness, it's about reclaiming your strength, your confidence, and your magic."

It will always be beneficial to build foundations in the postpartum period before resuming your usual exercise and activity - regardless of how active you were before or during pregnancy, and especially if you plan on returning to heavy lifting, high intensity exercise or contact sport.

The first month you want to focus on rest and recover, and then SLOWLY and PROGRESSIVELY return to what you love. This can help reduce the risk of injury (jumping in too soon) and burnout.

Burnout is real! I know you may want to jump straight back into what you've done in the past, but give yourself some grace. Your energy, sleep, eating, stress, mobility...(the list can go on) may not be the same. BUT this does not mean you're ADAPTABLE. And your plan should take this into consideration.
