♡♡♡

Hello TSC readers! My title is Emma, and I’m the founding father of modern athleisure model, Emma Lou. I’m a licensed private coach & Pilates teacher, and was born and raised in California. I prefer to spend my time on the seashore, studying a fictional e book, scorching woman strolling, scouting for the very best iced chai, and sketching items for Emma Lou. I at present reside within the stunning 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 3 times (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 acquired 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 essentially the most outstanding one was their look. I simply couldn’t shake the truth that virtually each single certainly 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 data on how girls have been actually feeling (myself included), I felt it was my duty to repair it. 

Emma Lou got here to fruition after I was 19 years previous. I seen there was a white area 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 notice now that each girl is aware of in regards to 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’ll be able to’t stroll into Dealer Joe’s sporting one with out everybody providing you with the disapproving side-eye when you’re choosing out avocados.   

The Downside:

There wasn’t a single product in the marketplace 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 geared up with a wetsuit. My wetsuit stored me good and heat, but in addition, at any time when I took it off, I’d be sweating. I reduce out a bit of my wetsuit and had my grandma sew it into the waistband of an previous pair of biker shorts. Hideous? sure. Efficient? Hell sure. The stitches have been shiny inexperienced and confirmed by way of the shorts, however the neoprene held robust 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 general ~movement~ 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 extra analysis on the very best material for the issue I used to be keen to resolve, and landed on what we have now now, which is a recycled thermoplastic material, that has been scientifically confirmed to scale back water weight and bloating. There was an obvious bloating drawback in girls, and most of us battle with it. It may be uncomfortable and inconvenient, which is why focusing on that space was my #1 precedence.      

The Answer:

Create a garment that harnesses textile know-how 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 are a Badass by Jen Sincero & Invest It, Sell it, Bank it! by Lori Greiner for holding 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 modern, trendy pants. I launched in the course of the pandemic in 2020, when everybody was on-line buying and in search of a bit additional spice of their at-home exercises, so I actually acquired to know my customers 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 customers will love. I’m a die-hard temper board fan, so every bit often has a plethora of Pinterest pictures behind it. As you might know, proudly owning a enterprise isn’t low-cost, so fortunately I’m nonetheless capable of educate Pilates and personal coaching classes to gas my dream. And, instructing Pilates helps me hold my finger on the heartbeat 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 workouts are the very best for lengthening, firming, & strengthening the abdomen and physique. Pilates is an effective way to advertise mindfulness and turn into extra conscious of your motion. Beneath I’m going to share two of my favourite full physique strikes to elongate and tighten, which you are able to do wherever, so it’s a win win. 

️Fowl Canine Crunch:

♡ utilizing a yoga mat and elective weights (my favorites are the Bala Bars), get onto your palms and knees. Concentrate on forming one straight line out of your fingertips to your toes, holding your hips straight. Deliver your knee into your shoulder when you deliver your elbow again in direction of the knee (in a 90 diploma angle). It is best to really feel a stretch in your abdomen, after which whenever you crunch, really feel your waist and glutes burn. 

Plank Knee Faucets:

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

Sprinkle in these easy, but efficient, strikes together with your every day routine or simply when you 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 shade and flattering flare leg with a bustier inspired top (that makes for an important going out prime too BTW), and the Toby Glow band Biker shorts for a traditional, staple piece, that’s buttery smooth and is aware of your angles.
