Emma Lou Atheleisure: The Debloating Leggings You Want in Your Toolbox

♡♡♡

Hello TSC readers! My identify is Emma, and I’m the founding father of revolutionary athleisure model, Emma Lou. I’m a licensed private coach & Pilates teacher, and was born and raised in California. I wish to spend my time on the seaside, studying a fictional ebook, scorching woman strolling, scouting for one of the best iced chai, and sketching items for Emma Lou. And I presently reside within the lovely Southern California space. 

I wasn’t a kind of individuals who knew they needed to be an entrepreneur proper out of the gate. Highschool was fairly tough, and I transferred schools 4 instances. I ended up graduating with a level in Enterprise Administration, however solely after altering my main thrice (third instances the appeal, am I proper people?).

I used to be extraordinarily misplaced. So I held onto the one factor that remained fixed in my life: understanding. I felt at peace with my headphones in, on a run, or doing Pilates. I used to be good at it, so I assumed that was my profession.  

After getting my private coaching certification, I obtained a job at a fitness center a few months earlier than the pandemic.

Throughout this time, I educated girls of all ages, and have become a sound board for many. Plenty of the complaints coming from my purchasers have been centered round their boyfriends, nutty mother-in-laws, and work drama, however probably the most outstanding one was their look. I simply couldn’t shake the truth that nearly each single considered one of my purchasers have been insecure about their abdomen. Extra particularly, the decrease abdomen. It was wild. Now that I had entry to all of this info on how girls have been really feeling (myself included), I felt it was my duty to repair it. 

Emma Lou got here to fruition after I was 19 years outdated. I seen there was a white house within the athleisure market since I stored listening to my purchasers complain about their bloating issues and the way it was an enormous insecurity for them. I understand now that each lady is aware of concerning the infamous decrease abdomen, however the one product I might advocate to them that focused this space was a waist coach. Which, no shade, however they aren’t *tremendous* efficient or sustainable. Worst of all, you may’t stroll into Dealer Joe’s sporting one with out everybody providing you with the disapproving side-eye whilst you’re choosing out avocados.   

The Drawback:

There wasn’t a single product available on the market that wasn’t A) a waist coach or B) a digestible complement that aided girls with bloating within the decrease abdomen space.

I grew up in California the place the water is gorgeous, however freezing, which meant I used to be at all times outfitted with a wetsuit. My wetsuit stored me good and heat, but additionally, at any time when I took it off, I’d be sweating. I minimize out a piece of my wetsuit and had my grandma sew it into the waistband of an outdated pair of biker shorts. Hideous? sure. Efficient? Hell sure. The stitches have been vivid inexperienced and confirmed via the shorts, however the neoprene held sturdy and I felt my tummy sweat instantly.  I wore it to the fitness center, on walks, and for grocery retailer runs for weeks and seen a lower in my decrease abdomen bloating, water weight retention, and simply total ~circulation~ of issues since neoprene is a warmth trapping material and I used to be focusing on my decrease abdomen and waist.  

My purchasers, fellow fitness center workers, and mates, have been dying to get a pair of my magic pants after they noticed my outcomes, so I made a decision to make a small batch of them with a producer. I did a bit of extra analysis on one of the best material for the issue I used to be keen to resolve, and landed on what we’ve got now, which is a recycled thermoplastic material, that has been scientifically confirmed to scale back water weight and bloating. There was an obvious bloating downside in girls, and most of us wrestle with it. It may be uncomfortable and inconvenient, which is why focusing on that space was my #1 precedence.      

The Resolution:

Create a garment that harnesses textile expertise to focus on the decrease abdomen space with a scientifically confirmed material to focus on bloating and water weight. 

After a pair months of studying enterprise and self-help books (shoutout to You’re a Badass by Jen Sincero & Make investments It, Promote it, Financial institution it! by Lori Greiner for retaining me afloat), researching, testing, and typing away, I now had a full-fledged enterprise that was now catching the eyes of publications like Vogue, Forbes, WWD, Popsugar, Shark Tank, & extra, due to our revolutionary, fashionable pants. I launched in the course of the pandemic in 2020, when everybody was on-line purchasing and on the lookout for a bit of further spice of their at-home exercises, so I actually obtained to know my shoppers and what they have been missing of their exercise wardrobe.   

Since then, I’ve been rising my model and including new items to the Emma Lou assortment (which I retailer in my room, beneath my IKEA storage mattress BTW), studying new issues (like what a triple-stitch is), and testing out new materials and designs that I hope my shoppers will love. I’m a die-hard temper board fan, so every bit normally has a plethora of Pinterest photographs behind it.

As it’s possible you’ll know, proudly owning a enterprise isn’t low-cost.

So fortunately I’m nonetheless capable of train Pilates and personal coaching classes to gasoline my dream. And, educating Pilates helps me preserve my finger on the heart beat of the always-evolving activewear developments so I can see what individuals are loving (& not-loving).   

As a Pilates teacher and personal coach, I’ve helped tons of ladies with their health journeys and get the within scoop on what workout routines are one of the best for lengthening, firming, & strengthening the abdomen and physique. Pilates is an effective way to advertise mindfulness and turn out to be extra conscious of your motion. Under I’m going to share two of my favourite full physique strikes to elongate and tighten, which you are able to do anyplace, so it’s a win win. 

️Fowl Canine Crunch:

♡ utilizing a yoga mat and non-obligatory weights (my favorites are the Bala Bars), get onto your palms and knees. Give attention to forming one straight line out of your fingertips to your toes, retaining your hips straight. Deliver your knee into your shoulder whilst you carry your elbow again in the direction of the knee (in a 90 diploma angle). It’s best to really feel a stretch in your abdomen, after which once you crunch, really feel your waist and glutes burn. 

Plank Knee Faucets:

♡ get in a plank place onto your palms and convey your knees shoulder width aside. Drop each of your knees onto the mat on the identical time to really feel the burn in your decrease abdomen. 

Sprinkle in these easy, but efficient, strikes along with your each day routine or simply if you happen to want a motion break in the course of the day. AND to make it much more spicy and enjoyable, throw on a pair of our Glow Band leggings.

A few of my favourite items are the Elle Glow Band Leggings for a pop of colour and flattering flare leg with a bustier impressed prime (that makes for an amazing going out prime too BTW), and the Toby Glow band Biker shorts for a basic, staple piece, that’s buttery mushy and is aware of your angles.
