I need support...

sweeti8383

I'm new to the site and newly engaged. I want to lose some weight and get more fit. My issue is that I have a bigger chest and it's hard to find supportive workout gear. I find it hard to run on a tredmill without feeling pain (and feeling uncomfortable) in my current gear. Any ideas on good, supportive workout gear?

You do indeed need support!  i love the subject line 

i did a thread recently about that topic:

But previously to the post above, my favorite tops have been Adidas.  No matter which sport bra I wear, they give me that little extra bit of support that means I won't give myself a black eye.

The best thing to do would be visit a running store, or sports store near you, and try on several different bras. For larger chested women (like myself) I find that getting high-impact sports bras are a must...even if your workout isn't high-impact.

Various Sporting Goods stores should have a variety of products for you - if you have one near you like a Sports Authority - they usually have several brands that have special tops and bras designed for women who need that extra care up top.  I find I just prefer having tigheter fitting things so that way while I'm running things don't jiggle around as much - makes me self conscious. 

I personally love the Nike Go To Seamless Women's Top - it's available on their website. 

Hope this helps and good luck on your search!
