The Right Sports Bra For Every Type Of Workout

What’s worse than amping yourself up to jumpstart your new workout journey and you get to a place where you think NOTHING can stop you, and you soon find out something can? Your breasts can pose a huge issue when you workout, especially if you are heavier up top! Having the right or WRONG sports bra can make for a great or awful workout experience. What many of us fit-bound ladies fail to realize is that just like there are certain types of shoes for certain types of activities, the right sports bra is an imperative piece to your workout routine.

Low-Impact Sports Bra

A sports bra without an underwire and shaping cups or side support may not keep your “rack” aligned, but a bit of ribbing will satisfy the amount of support needed for a low impact workout. This type of bra will be good for a yoga or Pilates session. A great option for this is the Wacoal Sport T-Back Wire Free Bra.

Medium-Impact Sports Bra

A medium impact activity such as stationary cycling calls for a bit more support and sweat resistance. A sports bra with molded cups and light weigh stretchy material is great, especially if you have a larger chest. A racerback is also a great option as it helps in the reduction of bouncing from the chest and allows for lots of movement. The lightweight material will keep you cool and dry. A great option of choice is Natori Yogi Racer Back Bra

High-Impact Sports Bra

If you are into cross fit and heavy running this is the bra for you! A high support bra that encapsulates your breast (keeps them in separate cups) is going to give you exactly what you need for your workout. Better than the pullover styles, these bras have contoured foam inserts and dense nylon construction. This is great for support and sweat! Try the Nike Pro Rival Bra for this type of workout session.
