I'm sick and tired of wearing two sports bras AND still clutching my chest when doing the cardio routines on various fitness DVDs and/or EA Sports Active 2. Can anyone recommend some good brands that really hold you in place? I'd kinda like to actually pump my arms for that "extra calorie burning" someday...

    I like the Moving Comfort brand and I am a DD. I got mine from D!ck's Sporting Goods, but I know Amazon stocks them as well.

    I have that same problem AND I have a really expensive strong one. Ha. I think I am forever destined to chest clutching!

    Enell. I'm a DD and when I wear this bra, I don't move....AT ALL! They are expensive ($70), but well worth it!

    I got mine from Walmart actually. Of all the sport bras I've worn, I like this the most. It has sort of a crisscross in the back and it's the Fruit of a Loom brand. I'm a D cup if that helps.

    Moving Comfort for sure! They have the greatest sports bras by far, and they're not TOO expensive. :)

    I have a moving comfort and it works pretty well. It's an underwire bra in a sports bra. I'm a 40D.

    www.herroom.com has videos of bounce tests in various sports bras :smile:

    I also like the Enell. I'm about a 46 DD and it supports well and nothing moves at all. The sizing is different than regular bras but they are true to size (mine is a size 6). I've worn it jogging and with aerobics and it works well with either. If you get one it may feel a little tight when you first put it on but you will get used to it and it's actually quite comfortable. I bought mine at the local running store but I also bought some at www.seejanerun.com that were a little cheaper as long as you don't mind waiting about a week to receive it.

    I've been wondering the same thing. My issue isn't cost, so much as size. :( I'm a g/h depending on the brand

    There's a company called Title Nine, and they rate the sports bras they sell in terms of support and compression (one to five barbells). Good luck!

    I have the Enell also. I still do have movement, so I still wear 2 bras, but it's the best one that I've found so far. And the reviews on it were great.

    I wear a regular, non-underwire bra and a tight sports bra and it's been working. Sadly, they've depleted since losing weight :( Have you tried Layne Bryant/Cacique?

    My vote is for Enell but I would suggest buying a size smaller than what you think to need to account for future weight loss.

    Thanks all for the suggestions. Can't wait to check them all out although I probably should have also asked how many of these options pull across the neck area. Women tend to carry their stress across their shoulders and neck (mostly because of the girls) and most sports bras I've worn in the past aggravate that stress to the point of giving me headaches (well neck aches that work into headaches) if I wear them more than 30-45 minutes.

    Again... thanks for the feedback!

    For any heavy cardio day, running, etc.. I have to wear 2 sports bras so I don't feel like that. I usually wear a racerback and then a regular strapped sports bra over it. This really does the job. They aren't super expensive ones either, they are from Target.
