Pregnant women should wear proper, durable, comfortable and a quality maternity bra whenever they exercise, according to a health expert.

Dr. Daniel Zaake, a gynaecologist at Nsambya Hospital, said that pregnant women should exercise in order to reduce constipation. However, they should wear the proper underwear and lingerie such as maternity bras whenever they do so. Zaake said that exercising during pregnancy decreases the possibility of constipation by accelerating bowel movement as well as the wear and tear in the joints. Zaake explained that during pregnancy, joints usually have the tendency to wear and tear because of the changes in hormonal levels.

“Exercising prepares a mother for birth. Strong muscles and a fit heart can greatly ease labour and delivery. Gaining control over breathing can help a woman manage pain. And in the event of a lengthy labour, increased endurance can be of great help,” Zaake affirms.

Swimming & aqua aerobics are a great way to stay fit and healthy whilst pregnant. A wide range of maternity swimwear is available for extra support.

Another expert also said that exercising during pregnancy makes the expectant mother strong. This is because her energy levels are increased. Exercising during pregnancy also relieves the pregnant mother from possible back aches.

The health experts also explained that by wearing proper maternity bras, the posture of the pregnant mothers will be strengthened and their muscles toned. They also said that with regular exercise, a mother is able to regain her pre-pregnancy body more quickly. They should really just do the exercise routines the proper way and they should wear comfortable clothes as well as lingerie, they said.

A wife of a popular football player recently posed in some sexy photos for her latest swimwear collection. Twenty five year old Coleen Rooney, wife of popular Manchester United football player Wayne Rooney, showed off her curves when she had photos taken at a beach. The photos were for her new swimwear catalogue campaign.

The brunette was seen wearing a black halterneck two-piece swimwear. She also donned a pink frilly swimwear as well as a patterned bikini.

A lot of observers praised Rooney who worked hard to regain her curvy figure. Rooney is a mother of one.

Rooney shared that it was difficult to pose for sexy swimwear photos given that the weather was already chilly and that a lot of other people already succumbed to wearing winter clothes.

Meanwhile, Rooney’s partnership with Littlewoods has been a success ever since she struck a deal with them - rumoured to be worth £2million - back in June 2010.

“The role is a perfect match in enabling me to select and wear my favourite styles as well as share my ideas on how to carry off the season’s new trends. I am often asked about the clothes that I wear and my sense of style. By creating a range myself I hope to make my favourite looks available to all,” she said.

Shop Direct’s retail director, Gareth Jones, also agreed with Rooney. In an interview in 2010, Jones said: “She (Rooney) has great style, a real interest in fashion and is a very approachable and warm personality. Not only do our customers identify strongly with her, they also have huge admiration for her work championing fashion and style for real women.”

Olympian Mark Foster has joined in the call of Olympic champion Rebecca Adlington and world record titlist Liam Tancock in the implementation of new swimsuit regulations, which involves getting rid of advanced swimsuits and going back to traditional ones during competitions.

The wearing of Speedo LZR since February 2008 resulted to more than 200 world records being set which included the Olympic Games in Beijing, China. There have been complaints that these swimsuits are performance enhancers.

FINA, the international governing body on aquatic sports, have decided that starting January 1, 2010 all swimsuits used in competitions should be made out of textile only.

Michael Phelps’ coach Bob Bowman threatened to withdraw the 14-time Olympic champion from competitions if changes were not established.

This forced FINA to act ruling that from January1, 2010 all suits will be textile only with far less coverage of the body.

Foster said that this is a great welcome for everyone since it no longer about the swimsuits anymore but the swimmers, which should be the point of the competitions in the first place.
