What is best sports bra for running
MY FAVORITE SPORTS BRAS FOR RUNNERS | HIGH IMPACT SPORTS BRAS REVIEW
man I keep doing that
hello hello my name is Christine and
welcome to today's video this is going
to be a fitness type of video
specifically for women and specifically
for runners and anyone else that is
doing high-impact workouts I have been
on a quest over the last several months
to try and find the best sports bras for
running specifically I have watched
youtube videos I have read all of the
Amazon reviews I have talked to my
friends I have talked to my family I
have tried to get as much feedback as
possible to give you guys some options
to help support the ladies while you are
running running is a very high-impact
sport there's a lot of movement up and
down and you want to take care of them
so they're still looking nice and sharp
when you're in your 40s and 50s and 60s
so men if you are not interested in this
type of video feel free to skip it and
I'll see you back in the next one I want
to give you guys a wide size range no
matter if you're an A cup or a Triple D
or I actually don't know what's past
that and because I can't give my own
personal experience outside of my own
personal size I have also tried to
research based on people that I know and
what they say as well first I want to
tell you what not to buy and it's
basically anything from Victoria's
Secret pink so this cutesy little like
strappy doodad very very cute right
worthless this will do nothing for you
you might as well be wearing nothing
while you're running now these are fine
if you're just doing weight lifting or
you're on the elliptical there's no
bouncing going on there fotona comes to
running save your money
same thing goes with this one it is
slightly better because it is a thicker
material with a lot less give so it'll
hold you tight this is an old Victoria
Secret one as well they have a ton of
different styles and some are good and
and some are not good so you definitely
want to stay away from the pink side
that's more for fashion and not really
functionality so no good here if I can
find links for these
six sports for us I will leave them all
down below for you and there is actually
one more that I don't have here but I
did purchase and try and then giveaway
but I will put a picture up here for you
and I will tell you that it's a friend
of Mines favorite sports bra to wear so
let's go with your a and B cup to start
with now this is an Under Armour
cross-back sports bra it does come with
little cup pads to help you out a little
bit I love that the band is very
stretchy and thick and you can find this
sports bra basically anywhere it's on
Amazon it's a Kohl's it's at Dick's
Sporting Goods it's at Cabela's any
sporting goods store will have this very
basic Under Armour cross back so a and B
cup this is going to be a good option
for you and maybe see depending on how
the rib cage fits you can get them for
as low as twenty dollars upwards of
thirty five dollars this is a really
really solid choice for your a and B cub
sizing I want to say I picked this one
up at Kohl's
and they come in a variety of colors so
I think this is a very very good option
okay let's move on to the rest of the
sports bras which are not done by small
medium large extra-large etc but by band
and cup size and for the busty ladies
this is going to be what you want to
look for you want to have the ribcage
adjustable and the cup size accurate
because your standard small medium large
may not fit you if you have a larger cup
size and a smaller ribcage so this
champion bra I picked up on Amazon and
it does measure by band and cup size and
so this will be good for your size a
probably through a small D cup because
you can purchase it and maybe a double D
actually there's one girl that said she
still really enjoyed this one at a
double D size so they do have individual
seaming on each breast because there are
two you know you don't want to mush it
into one pancake the shoulder straps are
heavily padded and are adjustable it's
very hard to find shoulder straps with
adjustable straps I find this to be a
very very important feature when you're
looking for functionality because
everyone is different here and it will
make things fit differently and then of
course
on the back you have three hook clasps
and this is also adjustable so even
though mine is a 34 rib cage I can still
make it a little bit smaller and a
little bit bigger by using this the band
under here is very thick and reinforced
and very comfortable to wear the only
downside to this force bra is that is
not a cross back that is the only thing
I don't like about this one and I wish
it were adjustable to make it that way
because I feel like it's gonna kind of
fall off my shoulder just a bit that is
the only con to this sports bra it is
one that I really like and I reach for a
lot when I know it's going to be a
running day okay let's go to Victoria's
Secret Victoria's Secret has their high
impact double knockout sports bra which
is an underwire padded cup with a center
clasp underneath and then wraps around
with a zipper right here so let me zip
it up and I'll show it to you so it is
double layered which is really nice I
really enjoy the underwire part of this
because it really feels like it holds
you in which is great the only downside
to that it makes this lower band not
adjustable outside of you saying I'm a
thirty-two rib cage on a 40 rib cage and
I do like that it is a cross back the
straps are very padded and comfortable
and it is adjustable right here which is
fantastic I will say for long runs I
wore this on an 8 mile run and this
zipper flap that's supposed to hold it
like protects the bottom zipper came off
and rubbed my skin off and I started
bleeding like right there
I haven't noticed an issue like that on
like 5 miles or less but once I went up
to 8 9 and 10 that is an issue with this
sports bra so I no longer wear this one
on a longer run but any anywhere from
like a 5k to a 5-mile is acceptable in
this one this one is expensive it's over
$50 but the good news is Victoria's
Secret runs sales all the time and you
can purchase it online have a ship to
your house and they do come in assorted
colors let's move back to the champion
brand and my first fail of the group
this is a champion brand
one that I really like that I got off of
Amazon this champion one is from Target
and they are not the same this one is
supposed to be a dupe of the Victoria's
Secret double knockout and it sucks oh
do not buy this I showed it to my friend
and she's like oh my gosh it's a camo
sports bra where did you get it I'm
gonna go buy it and I was like do not go
buy this I don't use this for running
ever but I am going to show you what
they tried to do to mimic the Victoria's
Secret sports bra so it does have like
it's not a full underwire but it is
lined and seemed quite a bit like the
other one it's a front clasp like the
other one it has a hook to hook it in
that does not work very well I have
found this to be not very effective and
zips in the front just like the
Victoria's Secret one that doesn't zip
past that clip very well hold up holy
moly
the first time I put this on the zipper
didn't stay at all and I had Dave help
me and he was like so that doesn't look
like it's gonna work I did keep it
because I used it for a run but I only
bike or weight left in this one now and
it does have the zipper keeps pros to it
it does have adjustable straps on the
shoulder strap which is excellent like
one of the most adjustable ones I've
seen actually because it goes all the
way down this lower strap while thick
isn't tight enough to kind of hold you
in on the underneath side and there's
just a lot of movement this one is no
good so I know they were trying to do
trying to find a cheaper option to the
Victoria's Secret one but they do not
perform the same I'm a big fan of saving
money but sometimes spending less money
to buy something that you think is
similar is not worth it please buy the
more expensive better quality sports bra
I will say the same about running shoes
please do not buy your running shoes
from Target or Walmart get a real
running shoe your feet well thank you so
this is a no-go total fail hated it
let's talk about to Amazon sports bras
first I'll put on the screen right now
my friends favorite inexpensive sports
bra it's about twenty dollars it comes
up very high in the front so if you want
to wear a tank top but don't want to be
showing all of your goods to everybody
at the gym or while you're running it's
perfect and according to her it worked
really really well and I think the
reason it doesn't work for me is because
I'm significantly taller my friend is 5
foot 1
and I am 5 foot 6 so I've got five
inches on her and the thing I didn't
like about it is that I felt like it
didn't hold me down right there right
there's too much fabric between my
shoulder and the breast itself right so
for me personally I need something that
holds me in on the top as well instead
of just loose fabric and I really think
that's a height issue so if you're short
you might really like that one I will
leave a link to that one down below it's
highly reviewed and very popular on
Amazon it just didn't work for my body
type in that same hunt this sports bra
popped up in my Amazon recommended as a
extremely highly rated high impact
sports bra it's very cute it was
inexpensive it was about 25 or 30
dollars it had this adorable cross back
three adjustable hook clasps in the back
which I loved the bottom band is
extremely thick and you know when
something's rated that highly I'm like
yes so I bought it and it came and I
don't even need to run in it here's it
comes in small medium large extra large
instead of banding cup size I should
have known by that that this was not
gonna work for anyone bigger than
probably a b-cup I got a small which is
the smallest size they offer and it's
too big this strap is not adjustable and
it's like bunching up here and I'm not a
short-girl so I think that's really
fascinating I think this would work on a
larger chested lady that maybe can fill
it out more and maybe it pulls the strap
down a little bit but even then I don't
feel like these straps are that
supportive so this is not gonna be a
recommend for me but if you want
something that's very cute and
functional for weight lifting elliptical
biking yoga this could be an option just
not for running you will regret it
Oh Under Armour because I like this one
so much for like an a b-cup I thought I
would try out their high impact sports
bra for C cup and higher this one is
also done by band and cup size which is
a requirement to me
you're looking for something that fits
really really well and it does have an
adjustable strap in the ribcage which is
great it has a cross back which is great
and the shoulder strap is adjustable
which is perfect this bottom band is
extremely thick and tight I think that's
the best part about the sports bra now
for the negatives it is very very padded
so whatever you do have will be pushed
right up and that's the issue they push
it up and don't support it on the top
this is a sports bra to like show off
the girls and not actually for running
so while it holds everything in down
here it holds nothing up here so if
you're jumping there's gonna be a lot of
movement up top so I really really
wanted to like this one
but unfortunately it was a no for me and
this one is fairly pricey at $55 retail
you can probably get it cheaper but I
would not recommend this one lastly my
favorite one that I have found is the
most expensive of the entire bunch and
the best of the entire bunch the she fit
sports bra I originally saw this sports
bra on a separate YouTube review video
and this was her number one recommended
sports bra and I was like I gotta try it
this is the most adjustable sports bra
you will ever find the shoulder straps
are velcro and you can adjust them
however tall or short your shoulders are
the front zip is the most comfortable it
has hook-and-eye clasps which are better
than any of the other ones that I've
seen as well as this incredibly sturdy
zipper and a zipper cover across the
entire back and you think I'm done but
I'm not the band that goes here is also
adjustable total velcro you pull it you
cinch it as tight as you want it and
there it is and it fits you this sports
bra is $60 I know I know but to help you
guys out what I did is I signed up for
their referral program to save you guys
$10 when you sign up and purchase
a Sports Bra so it should take it down
to $50 which is very close to the
Victoria Secret one this is the best
force rock you can do burpees in this
you can run in this I have had no
movement no issues no bleeding because
the zipper rubs on me the only thing I
will tell you and this might be unique
to me because I'm weird is when I
breathe in heavily my rib cage gets very
large and I found the first time I wore
this I tightened the rib cage strap too
tight and it was hard to inhale all the
way once I got my heart rate up during
my run so I had to stop and loosen it
and then keep going so what I've learned
for me is I put it on and then I inhale
as much as I can to get my rib cage as
big as I can and then I cinch it and
then exhale and then I'm good and it
doesn't bother me after that they come
in a lot of cute colors I got red
because I love the color red even though
nobody really sees it with me and Dave
this sports bras amazing I'm gonna have
to save up and get a couple more of
these these are fantastic they have a
whole sizing system on their website I
want to say they recommended me get a
medium so that's what I got so even
though it is like small medium large
extra-large extra extra large because
the whole thing is so adjustable you
really can fit it to you I just felt
like it held you in up top it held you
in at the bottom this was super
adjustable it's a cross back which I
like and it even has removable cut pads
so if you don't like the cut pads take
them out but if you want to keep the cup
heads in to give you a little smoothness
if you know what I'm saying keep them in
so I thought that was fantastic I have
washed it and dried it several times I
have been wearing this one for about six
weeks amazing
highly recommend ten out of ten
recommend please invest in your girls
okay in order from favorite to least
favorite of the ones I showed you for me
personally okay so keep in mind that my
favorites are not gonna fit everybody
the same way because we all have
different body shapes just like I told
you that my friends really enjoyed the
other Amazon bra and it just wasn't a
win for me that's because we're shaped
differently and that's okay
that's partly why there are so many of
these options okay I'm gonna go for a
run top three that I'm gonna pick this
one will be my number one pick every
time if it's clean number two is going
to be the champion one I got from Amazon
with the blue padded straps this one I
feel very secure in number three is
going to be the Victoria Secret double
knockout as long as I am NOT going over
about six miles as far as the rest go
this one for target will not run in it
ever um no absolutely no and then the
little Skippy once I showed you the
beginning I don't wear those either this
video took several months of research
because I wanted to wear these sports
bras in in all kind of running
situations long runs short runs Sprint's
up hills down hills and talk to my
friends who are larger than I am to see
what they thought as well and so I hope
