be fitted into the right sports bra.
With warmer weather on the way, there is no better time to go shopping for your sports bra and to get in shape. According to Anita Active, breasts can move up to four inches up and down as you run, depending on size, therefore having proper support is important to stay comfortable. An optimum sports bra can reduce breast movement by up to 78 per cent.
Here are my top 5 tips to help you choose the right sports bra for your active lifestyle:
1. Visit a specialty bra store that will measure and fit you into the right bra.
2. Similar to alternating several pairs of shoes, keep at least two good sports bras for your running wardrobe.
3. Have a routine bra checkup for continued bra support as your size may change from losing or gaining weight.
4. Select breathable, high-tech fabrics that regulate moisture.
5. Always hand-wash your bras – taking special care of your sports bras will allow them to last longer.
Diane’s Lingerie in Vancouver carries the Momentum Sports Bra, which is a perfect combination of support and comfort with breathable fabrics that easily sustain, no matter how intense the work out. The Momentum has a classic design and can be worn alone or underneath a tee-shirt or light jacket. It’s a bra that you want to show off while pounding the pavement.
Another popular choice is the Anita active new air control Deltapad sports bra. It is light weight with breathable fabrics along the waist band. This bra has a mesh lining that is attractive enough to be worn solo or underneath your athletic wear. With both style and performance it will give you the confidence you need to succeed.
Overall, along with your investment in good shoes and gear, wearing the right sports bra can be the difference maker for your athletic performance. Get into the habit of going for that bra check-up and choose the sports bra that fits your level of activity.
