No sports bra - what can I do at the gym?

10 replies

I have no sports bra as one broke and the other one is lost.

I normally run or do group cycle classes, both of which I definitely need a bra for (I have 34HH boobs)!

I've ordered a new sports bra but I likely won't arrive for a few days and I can't just go an buy one in a shop as most don't go up to HH.

Any ideas? I even tried amazon prime but they don't stock sports bras in hh Cup.

I went swimming on Friday but it was gross (plasters floating in the water) and I've gone off that idea

Yeah, I might do a weights routine at home in a minute. I like having someone tell me what to do with weights! But there is no bodypump class I can make it to this weekend.

Is all cardio out do you reckon? Maybe walking up a hill on a treadmill?

Cross country trainer I just do in my normal bra it’s a back and forth rather than heavy impact then weights.

Thanks both! Will give those a go. Also found a yoga class this morning so will try that. Won't do me any harm doing something different anyway. Hope brastop has speedy delivery though!

Yeah, maybe the bike with a seat would be OK. Spinning / group cycle I definitely need a sports bra for. Didn't wear one once and it was not comfortable

If you have a TK maxx nearby it might be worth a visit, I was having a browse last time I was there and found a shock absorber bra in my size (34G)

Thanks @SBAM. There is one in my nearest big city, but not super close. I will look next time I'm there though as I want to keep some back ups! I might also check m&s? Just realised they may have hh bras. I'm trying not to buy too much ATM but this is clearly an essential item

Normal bra plus tight sports top or two

I just did 40 mins on the spin bike. Wore a bra with a tight crop top over the top and didn't do any sprints, just cycling with a bit of resistance and then standing up. Wasn't uncomfortable and didn't make a show of myself 😂. I still felt I got a good work out done so that's good. Will also do some weights. Not sure about the yoga class. I always find them a bit long winded for my tastes
