Getting ready for the gym - Choose you Bra

INS LIEFSTYLE - Most of us have a love-hate relationship with working out and going to the gym. You would agree when we say that we all struggle with the 'getting ready for the gym' part, especially women, when it comes to putting on a sports bra.If you can relate to the last bit, you probably are not wearing the right sports bra.
A crucial piece of clothing that is often ignored, a sports bra is a workout wardrobe essential. But picking the right one can be a tedious task.
Sharing her experience, Tanvi Parikh, Vancouver-based fitness coach and founder of TNV Method (online fitness coaching), tells INS, "When I started my fitness journey, I was on the heavier end, and because of that, I was very conscious about how the sports bra looked at the gym. So, initially, I would just wear my regular bra. Because of that, I started getting stretch marks and soreness around my breast. I was also very conscious of the way my body moved in public, so I would not go for any kind of runs."
Parikh's experience is quite relatable, and a lot of us (no matter the size) do feel conscious about our bodies while working out.Different from usual ones
Wearing a sports bra during workout sessions is crucial because it provides support for breasts during regular physical activities. And unlike regular bras, they are designed to reduce breast movement.
Wearing the right sports bra can help maintain the integrity of the breast wall and the shape of your breasts as well.
Parikh explains that during your workouts, your body undergoes various movements, and a good sports bra helps minimise the impact of this movement on your breasts. So, it basically makes your workout sessions more comfortable, effective and gives you the confidence to train in public.
