Sports Bras

Protecting Your Breast Ligaments During Strenuous Activity

Sports Bras protect chest ligaments, eliminate bounce that is both cumbersome and embarrassing during work outs, and also prevent breast tissue damage. It's imperative to not only wear a Sports Bras while working out, but to wear one that is comfortable and supports you. Even moderate activity like cycling, long distant walking and free weights put a strain on your breasts. The stress that exercise puts on your breasts can cause long term damage, sagging and discomfort.

It's also appropriate to mention that Sports Bras, just like any other bra, have a shelf life and will need to be replaced periodically. If you wear a Sports Bra three to four times a week, you will need to replace it every six to ten months due to loss of elasticity and decreased support. If the bra feels much looser than it was when you first bought it (because of weight loss or wear), the fabric begins to wear down or fall apart, or you notice significantly more bounce, it's time to invest in a new Sports Bra, whether it's the same style Sports Bra or a new one.
