Gear Guide: Moving Comfort Endurance C/D Sport Tank
March 27th 2009 11:16
By Su Reid-St. John
When you’re a D-cup, you can usually wear a cute bra top (without an additional sports bra) only if you’re willing to bounce your way through your workout. That’s a sacrifice I’m rarely willing to make.
But Moving Comfort’s Endurance C/D Support Tank is really cute. So cute, in fact, that I caved and gave it a try.
There’s a lot to like about this top. I love the bright, two-tone colors, plus it’s flattering. It has a mesh back that worked wonders to keep me cool, and the fabric in general wicks impressively. It has a nice length, too; I didn’t feel like I had to keep tugging on the hem to keep my tummy covered. The “invisible” back zip pocket’s a nice bonus, too—just the place to keep your cell phone or ID.
That’s all well and good, but let’s get to why we’re really here: Does it support? Well, somewhat. It was surprisingly effective at holding the girls in place during standing runs on my Spin bike—and that’s saying something. But when I wore it again to do a workout DVD involving lots of jumping and jogging, the jiggle returned. So for low- or medium-intensity, this top works just fine. For high-intensity activities? Not so much.
I have one additional quibble: Why so many seams? There are a lot of them here, and they were a little irritating at first (although they softened up after several washings). Just curious.
Overall, this is a worthy top, and I foresee many wearings in my future as the days lengthen, the temperature rises, and I can sneak in more walks, skate sessions, and bike rides outside. Anything higher-impact than that, though, and I’ll be reaching for something a little sturdier.
Product: Moving Comfort Endurance C/D Support Tank
Category: Apparel
Pros: Cute, flattering, and wicking, with a mesh back to keep you super-cool while you sweat. Supportive enough for low- and medium-intensity workouts. Plus, it has a handy back pocket.
Cons: Not supportive enough for high-intensity activities (if you’re a D cup, anyway), plus the seams are a little scratchy at first.
Cost: $48 at MovingComfort.com
Extra tip: Wash it a couple of times before wearing, to soften up the seams.

Get Your Body Back: Post-Pregnancy Workout
March 27th 2009 11:14
By Kimberly Dawn Neumann
From Health magazine
If you’re working to return to your pre-baby bod, you probably have a few body parts that could use some extra help. First get the OK from your doctor, and then add these daily power moves to a two-to-three-times-a-week strength routine to firm up the areas that may have weakened during pregnancy and birth.
Core control: Clocks
Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor a comfortable distance apart. Think of your pelvis as a clock, with 12:00 at your navel, 6:00 at your pubic bone, and 3:00 and 9:00 at your hipbones. Press your pelvis down around the face of the clock. touching each number. As you touch each one, do a Kegel contraction (tighten the muscles that control the flow of urine). Do four clock rotations in each direction.
Pelvic floor: Elevator
Sit in a chair or lie on your back comfortably. Imagine an elevator traveling from your perineum up to your navel. Start to contract at the bottom of the elevator shaft and gradually increase the intensity of the contraction as the “elevator” goes up. Hold strongly for a moment when you reach the “top,” then slowly release the “elevator” down to the bottom. Repeat 6-8 times
