4 Tips to Choose the Right Sports Bra

You have your exercise gear for the gym ready but have you given a thought to what lies beneath?

The right breast support is a must during a workout, especially a high-impact one. Lack of support can lead to back pain, discomfort, and tissue damage, ultimately resulting in stretch marks and sagging. A wrong fit can also cause headaches, indentation, scarring, chafing and/or improper posture. And never make the mistake of thinking that small breasts don’t need bras; the smallest sizes can experience permanent damage to connective tissue without proper support.

Bra checklist:What should you look for when you go shopping for a sports bra? Apart from a design and style that fits you perfectly and flatters your shape, look at bras in a lightweight and breathable performance material. Check the seams, as they are often responsible for major discomfort due to chafing. Ensure that the bottom band sits well underneath your breasts as this is the foundation of proper support.

Get the right fit:The perfect fit is a must for proper functioning and comfort. Women with larger cup sizes should consider sports bras offered in cup/band sizing. Those with a C cup or larger should look for a high-impact bra, one that provides support and allows for movement. Thicker straps and adjustable bands work well. Ensure that the bra isn’t too low cut; spilling isn’t conducive to strenuous workouts. Lower impact activities such as yoga, pilates and walking need full coverage. Women with small breasts are luckier – they can pick from a variety of styles as long as the band is snug and the bra allows proper coverage.

Take the sports bra test:Pick up the bra if it passes these quick tests. Nothing should spill out when you bend over. You shouldn’t bounce more than an inch when you jump up and down. Pumping your arms should feel comfortable. Nothing pokes you in the back when you lean against the wall. Last but not the least, take a few deep breaths to ensure that the band provides support but doesn’t constrict breathing.

Replace regularly:Experts suggest that you check your sports bra sizing often as a woman’s body keeps changing, especially if she works out consistently. It’s a good idea to replace your sports bra as often as you replace your running shoes – every 500 km.
