Depending on the intensity of the workout, we have three levels of sports bra support: Low, Medium and High.<\/p>\nUnlike your regular daily wear bra, a sports bra has to keep up with extra support while you move rigorously in the gym to get that hot bod. Studies suggest that your workout performance drops by up to 33% if your bra doesn\u2019t support you.<\/p>\n
You hesitate to do jumping jacks correctly coz your sports bra is not able to manage the bounce. You may get your shoulder strained while lifting weights because the straps are not providing proper compression. Not to forget the chafing and discomfort that comes afterwards.<\/p>\n

Your sports bra is the only weapon that saves you from many problems that you will face at the gym. A good sports bra provides proper support and lets you do your job without any hassles. After reading this, you will know how to buy a sports bra that is right for you.<\/p>\n
Depending on the intensity of the workout, we have three levels of sports bra support: Low, Medium and High.<\/p>\n
Best for:<\/strong> Light workouts like yoga, Pilates, or even a relaxed walk are all about slow, controlled movement Best for:<\/strong> Activities like cycling, dance classes, or general gym workouts\u2014mix steady movement with occasional bursts of energy, treadmill walking, Zumba sessions, or kettlebell workouts Click here for our Medium Impact Bra<\/a>.<\/p>\n Best for:<\/strong> Workouts like running, HIIT, or CrossFit calling for maximum support, Shop High-Impact Sports Bra<\/a><\/p>\n Match your workout style with appropriate support. You can choose from low, medium and high-impact bras depending on your workout intensity. A high-impact bra is important when you are performing high-intensity exercises like running or jogging. Medium and low-impact bras are for exercises with little body movement.<\/p>\n Bras are constructed in two distinct ways: Compression and Encapsulation.<\/p>\n Compression bras<\/strong> have a stretchy front panel that firmly presses your breasts against the chest to restrict movement. This construction is effective for low- to medium-impact workouts, especially for smaller busts.<\/p>\n Encapsulation bras<\/strong> use an individual cup construction to support each breast separately. This setup provides better shape, more targeted support, and improved stability since each breast is held in its own space.<\/p>\n Encapsulated bras are better for high impact as they keep bounce to a minimum by supporting each breast individually. For larger busts, encapsulation is usually recommended.<\/p>\n Before buying a sports bra, make sure to check your size correctly. Not all ladies have the same kind of breast shape; some have loosely hanging, asymmetrical, or teardrop-shaped breasts, and a lot more. So you need to understand what type of bra suits you the best and what works great for you.<\/p>\n Steps to find the Right Bra size<\/strong><\/p>\n Fabric is another important thing to keep in mind, especially for the Indian climate. Check for moisture-wicking, quick-dry fabrics. They absorb sweat and evaporate it quickly, keeping you dry and comfortable during exercise.<\/p>\n It\u2019s important to have wider straps in a sports bra. Bras that have wide, cushioned straps are comfortable and provide ample support. It\u2019s important to buy wider shoulder straps because the width will help to spread the weight properly and make sure not to cause any pain to your shoulders. Women with D+ cups should prefer adjustable, wide straps. Racerback supports and distributes weight evenly.<\/p>\n The bra band carries 70% of the support of your bust. During a workout, you have to make sure that your bra snugs you perfectly and gives maximum support. While trying out your sports bra, always do the \u201ctwo-finger test\u201d to check the band tightness. You should be able to fit two fingers comfortably between your body and the bra. If you raise your arms, the band of the bra should stay in place and not rise.<\/p>\n Getting a full-coverage bra allows the breasts to be completely encapsulated. This gives a comfortable experience throughout your workout session. So please make sure to buy a bra that has full-coverage cups. Remember, ladies: if it has full coverage, you definitely won\u2019t risk any exercise-related issues.<\/p>\n
