Do I have to wear a sports bra when I work out?

 

Check these out, too...

  • Turning 16--but I don't want to grow up
  • I'm only 13--why did my breasts stop growing?
  • Do guys only care about chest size?
  • Do these blue veins on my boobs mean I'm sick or something?
  • My nipples won't make up their minds
All of my friends change into sports bras for gym class and practice, and they say I should to. But do I have to?

 

Sports bras are all about comfort.  They are meant to offer more support and control when you’re active. For girls and women with larger breasts, that means that they aren’t as inconvenienced or pained by bouncing boobs while playing soccer or running track, let’s say. Girls with smaller chests—or girls who just prefer their every-day bras—might not notice a difference. And some chicas prefer the full coverage offered by sports bras, especially when exercising in skimpier tanks or gaping jerseys.

 

If you wear fancier bras with lace and delicate details, a sports bra will be easier to simply wash ‘n’ wear. And for high-impact sports, an underwire bra might be a little ouchy after hours of pounding up and down the field.  

 

Bottom line? If you’re perfectly happy wearing the same bra to work out as you do to class, that’s totally up to you.

Do you have any workouts that can shed a few pounds? Thanks!



Hey girlie,

Take a look through here, http://www.girlslife.com/category/workouts.aspx


If you take the workouts seriously and do them a few times a week, you should start to see some results.

But, keep in mine that your eating habits have the biggest role in your weight.

Even if you aren't really big, you should still wear a sports bra that fits well with lots of support when your chest will be bouncing because if you don't it can actually cause SAGGY BOOBS. When your boobs bounce around a lot the Cooper's ligament stretches, but it can't return to it's original condition so that makes your breasts sag. (Learned this in my sports medicine class)

Even if you arent very big, and a lot of us arent, its still good to wear a sports bra. And it feels like things arent moving around as much, plus you can sometimes just wear the bra and people think its just a top. A few times I was complimented on my nice top and I was thinking he complimented my bra.

In my athletics class at school since run outside when its 90-100 degrees and sunny a normal bra a just gets disgusting and doesn't hold up.

Take the stairs more than once. When you’re at home, run up and down the stairs three or four times before heading to your room. It’s a sneaky way to stay active.
