The Best for Womens Workout And Fitness Souce : http://youtu.be/kdt5VQBIXQo
There is no question, especially if we exercise in a public place such as a gym or going out
for a run - we want to feel attractive - let's face it, it makes us feel better about ourselves,
which helps us maximize our effort and performance. The money women spend on the cutest workout
tanks and shorts never ceases to amaze me. The fact is a good sports bra should reduce
breast movement by 50%.
The most important investment in workout attire by far are the right workout shoes for your
shaped foot and gait, and the best possible workout bra.
Women have become much more in tune with breast health - a supportive bra is an imperative
part of breast health. But please choose a bra that still makes you feel attractive,
yet meets certain criteria. Yes, you will find one.
First let's understand why a good sports bra is so important:
Cooper's Ligament - help her out please!!!! Very simply - connective tissue that gives
the breast that beautiful shape. The force of gravity, multiplied by impact... not a
girl's best friend. Nobody wants sagging ***. A certain amount of impact is a necessary
aspect of exercise - mineralize those bones - but as everything in life there are good
points and not so good. Movement and impact tears at the elastin & collagen, which are
not as resilient over time to start with. And BTW - there are GREAT strength training
exercises to give Cooper hope and strength! Cooper also believes in slow and steady wins
the race... quick weight loss elicits rather spiteful hormonal responses - which further
miff Cooper.
Back, shoulder and neck strain: Posture is another gift. Both a lack of wearing the right
fitting sports bra & a lack of a sports bra at all can cause great pain and erode posture.
Wear a bra that offers support all around - so shoulders do not carry the burden which
often causes us to curl forward, placing stress on the neck. We should still be able to keep
good posture with shoulders back. Especially important for larger cup sizes.
I happen to be a big supporter of wider straps, racerback bras, not just a compression bra,
but encapsulating (complete cups around each breast). Don't like underwires? There are
MANY sports bras available now that are excellent, without an underwire.
Breathing: Yes breathing is a critical aspect of exercise. Tugging *** (ouch at just
the thought) can easily cause a shortness of breath. Proper oxygen consumption during
exercise, full
deep breaths is #1 to fitness.
Heart Health: I will say I have NOT
seen studies on this... however I refuse to believe heavy breast movement is good for the heart. Just the obvious shortness
of breath is a huge strain on the heart. A few other quick point:
I fully suggest a sports bra for active days. It doesn't have to be the full support for
athletic training - however breast movement can happen and challenge even at lower activity
levels.
Please, no built in bra tops for working out. Poor impostor.
Do not ever put sports bras in the dryer, No fabric softener or bleach
Do Not expect an unbiased evaluation of proper fit and support of a sports bra from your
favorite sexy bra store
Very few things in life are forever. Your sports bra is NOT one of them.
Make your workout bra, your faithful workout buddy.
