I’m partnering with For Two Fitness®to showcase the amazing features of their apparel!

I’m 7- weeks postpartum now! Throughout my pregnancy I wore a great tank top from For Two Fitness® that was super comfortable and grew with my baby bump all the way until the end of my 40 weeks. As it’s been some time since I had my baby, it is just as easy to wear their apparel as it was during the pregnancy. The comfort of the fabric alongside my midsection can not be beat. Since I am still carrying some pregnancy weight (especially around my stomach area), this workout shirt is extremely comfortable and long enough to cover all of your body parts that are not quite back to normal yet.

The ruching on the side of the shirt really makes their apparel stand out! I am a little modest when it comes to workout gear that shows my mid-section, so this is perfect. The material moves with you as well as breathes, which is a total plus. There are no restrictions when working out in them and the tops don’t shift or ride up.

The fabrics are high performance, soft and moisture-wicking. Maternity clothes are expensive as it is, so they work hard to keep these high end, specialty items affordable. The colors range from neutrals to a variety of vivid colors that pop. (Plus, the slogans are perfect for pregnancy announcements or feeling great in your ever-changing body pre-and-post baby.) They carry a line of clothing with or without slogans, so you’ll have plenty of workout staples!

These workout tops are so functional, don’t you think?! Check them out HERE!

Happy workouts during and after baby all you fit mamas!

The belly panel is super soft and stretchy. You can choose to wear it directly over the belly, or folded over under the belly. I don’t have a preference as to how to wear it earlier on in the pregnancy, but later on, it might feel like more support to wear it over your belly, especially if you are running or doing cardio exercises.

As a runner, I like that these have an inner brief in them. I also really liked how light they were. The wicking material is great for keeping me cool during my workouts and not all sweaty feeling.

The Inspiration Maternity Running Short is all around comfortable! It was great to run in and I would recommend it to pregnant women for these 3 factors:

  1. The customizable belly panel (which lets you decide how you want to wear it against your belly)
  2. The high tech performance fabric won’t shrink or fade (unlike cotton material)
  3. Maternity clothes is expensive as it is and For Two Fitness® apparel is affordable and as high end feeling as other top brands

Check out For Two Fitness for all of your prenatal workout apparel! They’re known for those great tank tops, such as the one I’m wearing in all of the pics! Thanks to them for sponsoring this campaign!

So, I’m thrilled to announce that I am now a “For Two Fitness” Ambassador! If you’ve never heard of this company, they specialize in maternity workout clothes that is made from moisture-wicking, tech fabrics. What I love about this company is that their clothing is very comfortable and actually figure flattering. My tush actually looks cute in these capris and the tank is totally flattering! Plus, staying active during my pregnancy is a must. It’s important to not only stay fit, but to be a good example to my child. Mommy can do it all! (Right?)  Staying active literally keeps me energized and strong enough to hold my daughter! Plus it keeps my weight on track and helps with my overall health and recovery afterwards!

I’ve been wearing their “Training for Two” racerback tank top in a size small and their “Ultimate Maternity Microplush Fitness Capri”  in a size small. The tank top is great. It has ruching on the side and it’s a good length to keep your whole belly area covered. It’s very lightweight on and stays cool during your workout. The capris are so super comfortable!! Not only do I wear them for working out, but I wore them on my last international flight. You can fold the paneling down in half, or keep it up, which is a great feature. Also, these would be great for after the baby is born, as you an adjust the band to fit your comfort level.

The range of motion that I have when wearing the apparel is great! I don’t worry about the tank top riding up, as it stays in place the entire time (which is a huge plus if you don’t feel like exposing your pregnancy belly). The capris are super lightweight, you forget that you’re wearing them. I wore them on my entire international flight last week and they didn’t dig into my waistline or baby bump at all! Loved that!

Check them out at www.fortwofitness.com for all of their other cute tank tops such as: Running For Two, Sweating For Two, Yoga For Two and Dancing For Two!  I always get complimented on my tank and I’m a firm believer in feeling good in what you wear to boost your confidence! (Especially during these 9 months, when not a whole lot looks or feels good on you!)

Just for our readers, just code “LAVENDERLADIES” and save 20% off of your order and get FREE SHIPPING!

Let all of your mommy-to-be friends know about this deal! (It will only be active for 30 days)

Happy Working Out, Mommas!
