How To Pick The Right Maternity Activewear For You
There’s a common misconception out there that pregnancy means putting your life on hold for nine months. While you might have to make a few lifestyle adjustments (goodbye, Friday afternoon glass of wine), you don’t have to give up everything you love. One of the things you can still enjoy is a great workout a few times a week. At Emamaco, we understand how important it is for many women to remain fit and active, even during pregnancy. That’s why we designed and manufactured a line of high-quality maternity activewear that mums around the world adore. So, how can you pick the right maternity gym clothes for you? The Emamaco team has a few tips and tricks up our sleeve.
How Intense Is Your Exercise Routine?
The first thing you need to consider before looking for maternity fitness wear is the intensity of the exercise or sport you’ll be doing. This will dictate how much support you’ll need in your maternity exercise clothes.
- Low-intensity exercise. Yoga, swimming laps, or a brisk walk are all examples of relatively low-intensity exercise. You won’t need too much support from your maternity workout pants, and you should be able to wear the band under your bump. You won’t need too much support from your crop or sports bra either.
- Medium-intensity exercise. Aerobics, jogging, or cycling are medium-intensity exercises, and you’ll need a little more support from your maternity activewear. Ensure your maternity leggings or bike shorts cover your baby bump and that your crop top gives you an adequate amount of support.
- High-intensity exercise. If you plan on doing any hiking, rock climbing, team sports, weight training, running, or any other high-intensity activity, make sure you have the proper support from your maternity gym clothes. You need to invest in clothes that will support your bump properly. If you are in your late second or third trimester, make sure you consult your doctor on which sports and exercises are safe for you and your baby.
What Should You Avoid In Maternity Activewear?
When looking for maternity exercise clothes, there are a few things to avoid for the safety of you and your baby.
- Unnecessarily tight clothing. Unless you’re looking at specially designed compression maternity activewear, try to avoid tight clothing. You don’t want to inhibit blood flow or cause rashes and discomfort. At Emamaco, our maternity workout pants have been designed especially for pregnant women and are some of the most comfortable, supportive maternity clothing available. While they are form-fitting, they aren’t too tight or restrictive, instead providing supportive compression that helps relieve back pain and discomfort.
- Buying items that aren’t breastfeeding-friendly. As an expectant or new mother, you need crop tops and sports bras that work for you. The Emamaco, we have a range of nursing crops designed with you in mind. Not only are they flattering and incredibly comfortable, but they’re functional too.
- Buying uncomfortable activewear. Pregnancy isn’t always comfortable, so why should you make yourself even more uncomfortable with poorly designed clothing? Pick materials, cuts, and styles that make you feel and look fabulous while exercising.
How To Be Sure Your Maternity Exercise Clothes Are Giving You The Right Support
Your maternity activewear must be giving you enough support while you exercise, so make sure you look for these features in your clothing.
- Your clothes should grow with you. If you can, look for maternity fitness wear that you can wear from conception right through to post-natal. In most cases, Emamaco’s range of leggings and shorts will fit you right through your pregnancy, so you can rely on them as a staple.
- Choose a high-quality material. When shopping for maternity activewear, make sure you pick comfortable, premium fabrics. The Emamaco range is made from our uniquely engineered Supaflex material, designed with comfort, support, and functionality in mind.
- Look for glowing reviews. If there’s anyone’s opinion you should trust on maternity activewear, it’s other active mothers! If the clothing you’re looking at doesn’t have rave reviews online, it’s probably not a good investment.
