The two models were wearing the Moving Comfort Fiona Sports Bra and the Champion Shape-2000 Sports Bra. These are our most comfortable, supportive and popular bras. The shoes they were wearing are the Asics Gel Nimbus and the Nike Structure Triax 11+. Thank you to models Alyssa Perez and Christina Diaz.

Some tips for fitting a sports bra:

  • Try on the sports bra before you buy it.
  • Jump around and make sure you feel supported.
  • Check for any chaffing or rubbing when you are moving around.
  • Watch for any hooks or zippers that seem to rub or scrap.
  • Make sure that you have the correct cup size, nothing pushing up or out.
  • Take a couple of deep breaths to make sure you are not too restricted.
  • Make sure it is a moisture wicking bra that will keep you cool and dry during even the most intense workouts.
  • Check the cut under the arms to make sure it is not rubbing your armpit area or cut too low to provide insufficient support.
Tips for beginning a new running and or walking exercise program:
  • Consult your physician. Once you've gotten the go-ahead, then its time for some shopping!
