How to keep the breast firm after pregnancy and lactation
Having a beautiful neckline after pregnancy, having given birth and having passed the breastfeeding phase is perfectly possible. It is only necessary to keep in mind the premise that prevention is better than cure. In this sense it is advisable to practice sports daily (also during pregnancy, although at a moderate intensity) and to use preventive clothing (especially during lactation) such as special bras adapted to each stage and specific ones for the night.
10 keys to keep the breast firm: prevention in pregnancy and lactation
Dr. Elisa Fernández, founder of the signature bra NightBra, is convinced that "although after pregnancy and lactation the breast loses volume and turgor, it is possible to avoid that the consequences of this period are remarkable." The 10 keys, according to Fernández, for Keep your breast firm after pregnancy and breastfeeding are:
1. Do specific exercises for pectorals
2. Having the right weight before becoming pregnant
3. Hydrate our skin a lot
4. Use during pregnancy a suitable bra with a cup that takes care of the contour
5. Do moderate exercise during pregnancy
6. Use specific creams for the prevention of stretch marks
7. Take care of food
8. Use a bra that provides firmness, tones the bust and corrects the back also during breastfeeding
9. Do a series of smooth and regular exercises such as swimming or Pilates
10. Avoid toxins like tobacco
Breast exercises for women
Dr. Elisa Fernández advises to exercise regularly and try to strengthen the chest muscles. If the back and abdomen keep us upright and the pelvic floor work prevents incontinence, it is also important to keep the pectorals strong so that you can wear a beautiful neckline.
We have to break down the false myth that a woman does not favor chest exercises. Nothing is further from reality. For her they are also necessary. The body of man and that of woman are different. It is true that women need more toning than muscle building but there are certain exercises that, practiced with moderation, regularity and perseverance, can help women to stay in shape without increasing the volume of their muscles.
We are convinced of this by the personal trainer and fitness expert Tasio Trainer. "Chest exercises for women are just as good as for men," he says. "What the woman has to take into account is the technique, which has to do with the execution movement."
How to maintain a beautiful neckline
Tasio proposes a horizontal bench press to maintain a beautiful neckline. Do you want to know how it is done? Take note.
- We lie on the floor and lift an Olympic bar, which may or may not carry weight on the sides. Everything depends on the strength we have.
- We place our hands at a distance of 50 centimeters between each other with arms outstretched.
- The big toe (that we usually escape) must also be in the bar.
- We try to look at the ceiling at all times.
- The arms perpendicular to the bench, the fixed elbows.
- We carry the bar to the chest and we go back up trying to control the shoulders, elbows, wrists and breathing.
