3 Reasons Why You Need A Good Sports Bra!

Many of us wear the wrong size bra, but worse the wrong sports BRA when your running!  Our breasts do a figure 8, cheap bras just won't hold them up!  Did you know your bra should never celebrate a birthday? There is help for us that need it.  3 Tips:

1. Make It Three. It may seem like a lot, but the ultimate sports bra wardrobe starts with 3 bras: one in your gym bag, one in the wash, and one hanging to dry. Just like you, your bras need a recovery day every now and then. Having three bras frees you to be ready for any workout, any time.

2. Wear Them Well. At first, your sports bra should be snug on the loosest hook-and-eye closure. That way, as the elasticity in the bra fatigues over time, you have the ability to tighten it. You’ll be able to stretch the life of your bra and still get the support you need.

3. Match Your Mood—or Your Outfit. We know that not every workout is the same, so we didn’t make every sports bra the same either. The sports bra you would select for yoga class may or not be the same as you would for a long run. Select a range of styles to meet the needs of your favorite activities. Plus, workout tops can be just as fun and unique as regular tops. It’s nice to have a variety of open-back, racerback, or cross-back styles to choose from!
