All the Wellness news you need this Spring

Push Up

Pushing yourself one step further in your health and fitness goals requires complete focus on the task at hand. Whether it’s setting a new PB on your 5km run, hitting an extra rep or holding that plank for 10 more seconds, the last thing you want is to be uncomfortable or distracted by your activewear while striving for your best. With this in mind, Under Armour have developed a new sports bra that works with your body, instead of fighting against it, giving you the assurance that your bra won’t get in the way. With the UA Infinity Bra, Under Armour have forgone the typical two-pad structure for a single pad that has been liquid injected into a figure 8 to match that body’s natural movement for more comfort and better control. It also has a raised neckline for extra support and fast-dry padding to reduce sweat. Testing has even shown that the UA Infinity Bra can reduce up and down movement by 68%, back and forth movement by 60% and side to side movement by 80%. Available in three different levels of support, you can now push further without an uncomfortable bra getting in the way, whatever the task at hand is.
