Fitness Bras

While regular bras are designed for aesthetics and everyday support, fitness bras are designed to reduce the breasts' 8-directional movement (bounce) by up to 80% during physical activity. In addition, unlike cotton styles, sports bras are made from technical synthetic fibers that wick sweat without getting heavy

For stretch-focused activities like yoga and pilates, Low Support; for fitness, weights and cycling, Medium Support; and for running, CrossFit and HIIT, High Support styles are ideal.

Quite the opposite: a sports bra in the right size protects breast health by preventing the ligaments that support the breasts from overstretching and helping prevent sagging over time.

The ideal fit lets you slide two fingers between the bra's underband and your body. Tighter restricts circulation and breathing, while looser can't give you the support you need.

It's entirely a personal preference. Padded styles offer extra coverage and shaping, while unpadded styles are lighter and more breathable. Choose based on your training intensity.

For bust sizes of 90C, 95D and above, high-support sports bras are recommended. Styles with wide shoulder straps, a strong underband and a racerback design help support the breasts more evenly during movement. High support increases comfort especially during HIIT, running and functional training.
