Breasts are supported by the Coopers Ligaments, not muscle and unfortunately any form of exercise/movement means these ligaments will stretch causing breasts to sag. The ligaments will never go back to their original position. We therefore need to invest in a supportive sports bra which reduces movement by over 50%. There really is no point toning your legs and increasing your cardio fitness if you have droopy boobs at the end of it! You will also feel very uncomfortable if well endowed and not supported. But I already have a number of bras at home! PureLime Sports Bras are made from a premium fabric -“Tactel Aquator”. This is a moisture wicking, super soft polyamide designed to reduce irritation and allow freedom of movement and our breathable mesh panels and seam free cups prevent chaffing. Underwear made of cotton or polyester mix will hinder your workout resulting in a soggy, uncomfortable bra. Choosing the right bra for your workout Style 061 – Sports Top/Medium Impact: Available in sizes S, M, L, XL. Black and white option. Ideal for low impact activities such as lifting light weights or if you are less than a B cup This would be suitable for jogging/walking. Style 090 – Support Bra/Medium Impact: Available in 32, 34, 36, 38 and cups B,C,D,E. Black and white option Ideal for low impact aerobics, spinning, gym work, yoga and pilates. Style 091 – Support Bra/High Impact: Available in 32, 34, 36, 38 and cups B,C,D,E. Black and white option Ideal for skipping, running, dance, aerobics.
