exercise bras

[springsgourmet9]

I'm looking for comfortable exercise bras. I wear a c cup so no real need for wires or zippers. I just came back from Boscov's where I tried on 8 bras with no luck. I use the eliptical, treadmill and do floor exercises at the gym. A little support is necessary for the eliptical where I'm bouncing. I'm looking for something an older gal would fit into (I'm 52).

I swear by Champion sports bras. I usually try to find a style that works well and then look for it (or something very similar) on the L'eggs-Hanes-Bali (http://www.onehanesplace.com/webapp/commerce/command/CategoryDisplay?cgnbr=6000000000) outlet web site.

Target now carries Champion sports bras. I have this cami one which I was doubtful of but now I love it, even for skiing (which, trust me, has LOTS of bouncing) unless I don't situate myself in it correctly. I am a C cup as well.

I also use Champion sports bras. I just get them at Target. The trick for me is wearing two at once. I get good and smashed. :p But I don't jiggle! (I'm slightly less than a C, FWIW.) Oh, and I'll wear one short one like Robyn posted and then one that covers my tummy as the second one. Can you picture what I mean?
Good luck. It's the worst to not have a decent sports bra.

I was going to suggest a Champion cami-style that DD2 got at Kohl's. It has that moisture-wicking material and she likes it a lot. She doesn't know her cup size, as she just had reduction surgery...

Robyn - If that's your cami style, I'm curious to see your regular jog bra style :-) I do like that one, though, b/c I prefer the skinny straps

(I thought cami's were the ones that came down & covered your tummy.)

I have a Nike one that I love. My BodyArmor one is the most comfortable jog bra I've ever owned. Don't even know I have it on. But....how do I put this...it's not functional if bouncing is a priority for you.

I'm also a fan of Champion sports bras at Target.

Target called this cami style and I thought it referred to the straps (skinny vs wide) but who knows, everyone calls things by different names! ;)

My Costco has some Champion Sports Bras at the moment. They are $28.99 for two. I got some for DD#1 and they look very sturdy so I might go back and get some for me too. I did read somewhere that if you wanted less bounce then you really needed to get a "divided" bra rather than one that is in one piece. I really like some of the bras feature in the Athleta Catalog (http://www.athleta.com/jump.jsp?itemType=CATEGORY&itemID=500&LeftNavToExpandID=356&KickerID=701&KICKER) but I am just not willing to pay the price as yet.

Title-9 offers some fabulous bras.
Back in the day when I had boobs :( I needed something to hold D-cup....
Champion has many varieties and one or two did the job, but not all...certainly depends on size and activity.
I will say that that is ONE THING (maybe the only thing) that I am happy about in losin' 'em' ....I can actually jog or jump rope without a black eye ;)

I also like Title-9 for bras and there is one I like from Road Runner Sports. Both Title-9 and RRS have the bras sorted by degree of support needed, which helps. I am well-endowed and it's hard to find sport bras because I only like the ones that pull on over the head.

LOL. :p Always look on the bright side, eh?

Thanks for the recommendations. My current sports bras have about quit holding back the sisters. I'm in the market for a bunch of new sports bras. I'm excited about the prospect of getting them at Target, vs. a place like Sports Authority which tends to fleece the buyer.

:D Thanks again!!

Well, spent the last three days on my lunch hour checking out the sports bras at Target, Kohl's and Dicks. For some reason the Champion bras didn't feel right so I ended up buying two Nike bras at Dicks. Only $20 a piece. Couldn't believe the prices at Dicks for brand names like Under Armor and some new brand (forget the name in my crazed rush on lunch) that were over $40 a piece! I have one at home under the Head brand that I really like but don't remember where I bought it.

Thanks for all the help gals!
