We live in a world where Hollywood celebrities apparently get their fabulous figures back in just a few weeks usually with the expert assistance of personal trainers and nutritionists-dieticians, as well as wearing the right compression clothing like the SRC Sports particularly during exercise. Such images can place undue pressure on ordinary women to achieve similar results.

The Good News

Fortunately, everyday mothers can speed up regaining their strength and mobility. The simple solution is in adopting a balanced diet; a moderate exercise program recommended by your physiotherapist; and a set of healthy lifestyle habits. And most importantly not rushing back into exercise until you are ready and your health care practitioner says you are ready. 

The complexity and challenges come from being tired and busy with the baby and household chores. Determination is the key to eating well and exercising.

Wear the Leggings

And when you exercise, be sure to wear a pair of SRC Sports Leggings . These leggings are designed as maternity sports leggings that allow pregnant and post-partum women to move easily during exercise (i.e., comfort) while also providing them with sufficient support where it is necessary, such as in the abdominal area.

Like famous SRC Recovery Shorts and Leggings, each pair of SRC Sports Leggings is made from a specialised, lightweight and durable compression fabric that aids in supporting the abdomen and pelvis specifically the pelvic floor muscles. This is made possible via the strategic placements of multiple layers of compression fabric. This allows for the performance of exercises in a comfortable position while also stimulating blood circulation, thus, improving performance.

The SRC Sports Leggings have been proven effective in improving venous drainage, stabilising muscle oscillation, and creating support for the pelvic floor. The fabric used also has no central seams coupled with internal flat seams, which add to comfort by reducing the friction (i.e., rubbing) during exercise and allowing over-the-waist wear – truly, a contrast with regular elastic tights.

The SRC Sports Leggings are suitable for all types of exercises recommended by doctors for post-partum women, such as Pilates and yoga as well as running and Cross-Fit, and they are 'squat proof, with no 'show-through'. These can even be worn while sleeping to increase blood circulation to the muscles, thus, reducing muscle soreness and tiredness.
