Sweat with Swagger

It sometimes takes me awhile to decide on my favorite cake recipe or fancy cocktail or pair of jeans, but it doesn’t take me long at all to settle on my favorite sports bra. It was time for me to invest in new sports bras (true story, my old bras from circa 2014 were falling apart). It was also time to move away from overbuying cutesy sports bra, ones that hurt in the wrong places.

A good sports bra is a necessity for my workouts. Over the years I have found a way to identify my favorites so I don’t over buy just because they are pretty or just because 'the price was right' and ‘it was a good deal’ (my favorite lines when I need an excuse to buy something I don’t need).  My sports bras need to be three things: 

  1. Cute, 

  2. Comfy, and 

  3. Cost-efficient. 

My 3C criteria has created a way for me to assure I identify the ideal sports bra before purchasing.

Recently, I used the 3C criteria when trying on sports bras to find the right fit, color and quality. The two sports bras I selected below fit my 3C criteria to a tee!

Under Armour Women’s Infiniti Mid Sports Bra

Great for high intensity workouts

My favorite bra for Zumba, running or HIIT workouts is the Under Armour Women’s Infiniti Mid Sports Bra. This sports bra comes in about 12 colors but my favorite is the high-vision yellow/black! I feel comfortable and secure in this bra thanks to its maximum support and full coverage. So supportive! Coming in at ~$32, I found it affordable! Can’t wait to wear it again at the upcoming Zumba or Cardio Carnival Combo classes.

Running Girl Sports Bra

Great for medium intensity workouts

My other favorite sports bra is the Running Girl Sports Bra, which is perfect for strength training, yoga and a good post-workout stretch. This sports bra comes in 29 different colors! If you want to talk about cute, it comes in a crop and tank! So versatile! I find this bra to be super comfortable with its medium support and no extra pressure on my shoulders. This sports bra is not here to play games: no underwire but still holds me in place! The best support for our upcoming Total Body Tone class! I can’t forget to tell ya’ll about the price; this sports bra is less than $20! Yup, that’s it.

I know there are different types of bras for different types of workouts but all sports bras should still meet the 3C criteria. I’d highly recommend the Under Armour Women’s Infiniti Mid Sports Bra or the Running Girl Sports Bra if you’re ready to try out one or two new sports bras. I hope you find them useful in your Reclamation Fitness workouts or even just your regular everyday life!

Do you have a favorite sports bra or other non-negotiable criteria when choosing a sports bra? Let me know your thoughts!

Looking forward to seeing you in the upcoming Total Body Tone, Zumba or the Cardio Carnival Combo classes flaunting your favorite sports bra!
