How important is it to wear a sports bra?
How important is it to wear a sports bra when you go out power walking?
The simple answer is very important indeed. Since I set up Walking for Weight Loss in 2006 I have tried all sorts of sports bras, hoping to find one that minimised the bounce, gave me a good shape (as opposed to a sausage) and didn't cause any rubbing or chafing.
When you're power walking your bust moves in a figure of 8 shape rather than just up and down. Also when power walking, you have to pump your arms for momentum and this can cause the bra to move backwards and forwards under your bust. All this movement can cause uncomfortable and unsightly friction sores which can be very painful.
I have endured these "injuries" because I was advised that I was wearing the right size for me. And then I found www.boobydoo.com
I went on their newly revamped website and looked at the extensive ranges they have available. There was no question that they'd have something that would work for me. I have not been disappointed. I started wearing my Panache bra for power walking and I haven't looked back. It's attractive, comes in different colours, is underwired and is extremely comfortable. For this particular make I needed a 32F and yet in another brand I was a 34DD so it's a good idea to buy a couple of size options. They’re totally comfortable with sending the wrong one back.
Now when I go out, I feel so much more comfortable. I don't bounce so much and I don't get the horrible friction sores that have plagued me in the past. Apart from your shoes, I'd say your sports bra is the second most important item you can buy for doing exercise so make sure you buy what's right for you.
