At The Healthy Mummy we’re all about celebrating healthy bodies of all shapes, and it seems the rest of the world is catching up! Wait until you see the incredible bodies gracing Sports Illustrated’s famous swimsuit issue…
From athletic sports stars, to shapely models in body paint (yes, Hunter McGrady is in body paint in the image above!!) – these jaw-droppingly beautiful bodies will have you celebrating your own body.
‘We Need To Love Ourselves In The Present’
Change often starts from the top down, so in a brave act Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit edition editor MJ Day has taken to Instagram in her bathing suit, with her two-year-old son to outline how the magazine is celebrating differences.
“This year’s issue will showcase the widest diversity of women in SI history,” MJ explains. “Women of all ages and shapes and from all different backgrounds.”
Joining with movement Women In Real Life, women are being encouraged to don their swimsuits and celebrate their bodies.
MJ says, “Please consider participating. It was equally terrifying and liberating for me. Funny how I have spent my life on a beach since childhood and I have never truly felt comfortable in a swimsuit. Even at my thinnest. We need to love ourselves in the present.”
Models, Mums, Athletes

The incredible 2017 SI Swimsuit issue includes some of our favourite mummy models, like Chrissy Teigen and Christie Brinkley (who looks AMAZING at 63!), as well as stunning professional sport stars like Serena Williams.
“Like every model in this year’s issue, these women embody character and beauty—and they prove that when it comes to beauty, there is not one singular definition. This is the very essence of SI Swimsuit, and it’s our guiding principle as we move forward,” MJ explains.
It’s going down in #Houston the next two days! You comin?! #SportsIllustratedSwim VIBES ????

We absolutely love this groundbreaking feature, and the message behind it. The Healthy Mummy promotes being your best, healthiest self – and that looks different for every woman.
Make sure you celebrate your shape this weekend and hit the beach in your bikini – like so many of our beautiful mums have done!
