Big Bouncy Boobs and Group Classes

several months ago i actually found some at walmart.. they had several styles the actually are very supportive and come in bigger cup sizes.. i was looking for a way to help eliminate the bounce factor without breaking the bank at the sporting goods store.. i did have to go with the size bigger around to make sure i got a cup size that would work but they do an amazing job.. talk about regretting it when i forget to change into them before zumba.. danskin i think is the brand..can't remember how it's spelled exactly. but i was shocked to find something at walmart for less than 15 bucks that works.. much better than the 50plus i was gonna have to spend at the sporting goods stores to get something more than a lil piece of material that would never have worked lol

I've lost some of my fullness so I just wear one bra now but in the beginning I was wearing an underwire bra and a sports bra on top. The sports bra kinda squishes them down and keeps them jumping at the same rhythm and the underwire just adds support.

You actually made me LOL with the "keeps them jumping at the same rhythm".

:laugh:

I'm a 32DD and know exactly what you are all talking about.. but doubling up on bras can either be effective or even more painful. I tried that and ended up bleeding because the chafing was so bad

Shock absorber sounds awesome but has anyone tried moving comfort bras? They have a huge range of styles and have user ratings on the site too but I'm not sure whether to invest just yet

I attempted to do the 30 Day Shred, but when it got to the jumping jacks, I gave up.

same here!

I'm an H, even after a 30lb weight loss.....
I used to wear 2-3 bras when I rode horses. I finally found a bra, Wacoal, and I'm down to 1. I wear it when I run and there is still some bounce, but not as bad as before. This bra can be worn like a regular bra or you can cross cross the straps for extra support. Once you criss cross, getting the bra on is VERY tricky. I've learned to do it by myself.

I might look into the Shock Absorber.

I've been trying to find a good sports bra. I'm a DDD and when I've worn my regular bra under my sports bra I have some major chaffing (keeps me from working out from it too). Any suggestions for a good sports bra? I've only found 1 I can wear and honestly I can hardly get it off when I'm soaked in sweat. I wish I could find one with a zipper or something.

I have long been a proponent of good sports bras (for my full take on the importance of wearing one, check out my blog) but even more important is to get properly FITTED for a good sports bra. Sometimes your sports bra is a different size than your regular bra; for example, in my regular bras I am usually a 32G, in my sports bras I can be a 34G (for my Freya, which I HIGHLY recommend) and a 2 in my Enell. I run marathons so I definitely get how being well endowed can be a pain in the neck (and back, and chest) but a properly fitted bra is definitely a must! For activities that are intentionally bouncy I recommend a high compression bra. The Enell sports bras have great support and massive amounts of compression, they do up with 12 hook and eye closures and, while you tend to end up with a uni-boob effect, the girls certainly aren't moving around too much. The only downside to the Enell is that if you are doing long distance running they can chafe, but that's what bras like the Freya sports bra and body glide are for!

I wear 2 sometimes even 3 sports bras! When I get to my low end weight, I will invest in a good support sports bra. I never seem to have a problem with them moving around when I have 3 on. Sometimes, I think 2 will be enough, then BAM, do a few jumps and I have to take it down a notch because it hurts. I'm a DD at my high, and have gotten as low as a C cup before and would like to be there again.

Bump - Want to check this later - I need to get a good sports bra...

Shock Absorbers are the best! You might want to consider wearing a compression bra or top over the top of it - support only takes you so far but compression means there's less mass out front to move over your ribcage, if you see what I mean.

LOL - Yoovie!

I also have a shock absorber bra and like it alot but I find the Moving Comfort bra's to be more comfortable and also more affordable.

I reduce the impact in group exercise classes instead of jumping jacks do a modified squat stepping out one leg while doing the same arms as everyone else. Jogging on the spot - squat and heel raises. You can pretty much adapt any exercise, the burpees are challenging but just do them slower (even stepping out one leg at a time). I have an awesome instructor that doesn't let me say "I can't" do anything, she says I can do everything I just need to modify to exercise and she's great either before or after class suggesting alternatives/modifications.
