edited September 27 in Fitness and Exercise
Now that I have started doing some group exercise including boxercise and a form of martial arts, I have become more aware of The Jiggle Factor. It's not something that has really bothered me before just doing normal gym etc but when you are punching pads with someone stood right in front of you...everything jiggles!! I have a good sports bra on and a loose fitting men's t shirt but am still very conscious of my boobs and bingo wings jiggling!! Does anyone else feel conscious of this?

    Of course! I'm majorly conscious of my boobs! lol but you just have to think . . . they've seen it all before (your not the only one that jiggles hehe) and your there to make yourself a better person! The jiggle factor will start to go away when the weight's coming off!


    s'all good :D

    I so do. Actually, I have asked my trainer to remove some exercises from my training because of that. (I found that the worst is when she made me do a push up; then jump high than back to push up and so forth).

    I'll gladly take any tips you have!

    For some classes, I have put 2 bras on : one sportsbra and another one on top.

    A truly great sports bra should do the trick, but they are pricey! I got my favs at a great local store that specializes in running gear. They cost me $45-50 and I couldn't live without them!!!!! It will get better as you get more toned, but the girls need to be happy!!!!

    Just keep going... seriously, none of us at the gym care if you jiggle... it just means you're doing the work!!!!

    Oh yes tummy too yuck I get that when we have to do jumps in combat and boxercise!!

    I guess I'm more conscious of it when I am sparring with men. It's not that I think they are perving or anything it's just very noticeable!! I am a 38DD so even with a loose t shirt they are still bouncing away right in their eyeline! I worry that maybe the guys are laughing to themselves about it or something?? (not sure if this comes from being an early grower. My boobs used to get talked about and stared at a lot when I was a teen so duno if I am being harsh still expecting guys to be like this!)

    Oh I'm jiggly, along with wobbly and slappy.

    I've got loads of body fat that goes every which way when I exercise. Plus I've got oodles of what I call "skin slap" after losing so much weight. My *kitten* is all over the place when I exercise.

    I live with jigglitis since there's not really much I can do about it. I sweat far too much to even consider adding more clothing to support or hide the mayhem that's taking place under my clothes.

    The way I see it, I'm at the gym to sweat and work on my fitness. If my jiggles are too distracting to my fellow fitness freaks they can just look away :blushing:

    I am just starting to appreciate my jiggle... It is getting less and less and while it is still there.. sometimes it just isn't so bad. ; )

    Get properly fitted for your sports bra. I got fitted yesterday and they dropped me 3 sizes! I no longer have much jiggle

    I'm super self conscious about that too! I don't understand girls who wear JUST sports bras. I put mine over a regular bra to reduce that Jiggle Factor :ohwell:

    Try doing Zumba, where most of what you do is booty pop. My boobs go jiggling all around. But just think that everyone else in there is there for the same reason and they probably aren't even focusing on your jiggle but on their own.

    Ah yes, the jiggle. The boob bounce doesn't bother me anymore, ever since I got a better bra. Make sure you don't just have a tight hold-em down kind of bra. I got a "high impact" underwire one and it's works like a dream! What still bothers me is the butt/thigh jiggle. I've started running this year and doing a lot of 5k's, but I HATE running outside because I'm self conscious of every car driving my seeing my butt bounce all over the place. I wear sport compression tights under my running tights and that has helped A LOT! Because not only was it embarrassing, but super uncomfortable. But I had to just suck it up, suck it in, and deal with it because I knew I had to get off the treadmill and hit the pavement if I really wanted to train for 5K's.

    It sounds like your sports bra really isn't that great - you need to look for one that has the highest level of support, and then those puppies won't move. I'm a 34DD and I wear the Champion style 1694 - I run all the time and this made such a huge difference. I had tried some of the cuter sports bras, and they honestly don't do the job for those withy larger cup sizes. The jiggling can be a problem long-term, too, because it will lead to sagging, so you really want to get a better bra.

    I want to know the same thing LOL! Arms prehaps?

    Enell makes a excellent sports bra that's more like a body armour. It's costly but worth it IMHO! Google it! They work even better then the 2 bra method.

    Bingo wings are what we call 'bat wings' here in the UK. Its when you have a saggy underarm/ tricep area. Called bingo wings because they used to be the classic sign of a 'ahem' lady who spends her time playing bingo (her only physical activity is moving the pen) and therefore is overweight/ out of shape.

    :bigsmile:

    I ain't even gonna start on the jiggles I have problems with (lets just say a 36in J cup is STILL too small for me!! /sigh) This is one of the resons I'm working out at home for now, because I can't find a decent sport bra at a price that is equivalent to a weeks worth of groceries!

    I DEMAND BETTER, MORE SUPPORTIVE (PREFERABLY NOT UNDERWIRED) BRAS FOR US LARGER BOOBED LADIES!! THANKYOU- THAT IS ALL!! :bigsmile:

    I have a really good sports bra which does hold the puppies quite well but I still get some jiggle! Don't know how much jiggle is normal and how much means wrong size/style etc.!!
    So complicated being a woman!

    I am hating the jumping jacks in P90X. It's not just "the girls" jiggling (getting a new sports bra asap) but the belly too. I've had the belly issue since my first child (I gained 80lbs with him - 70 of it in the 3rd trimester after being put on bedrest because of pre-term labor). I hope to get rid of that jiggle or at least minimize it by the end of the 90 days but until then I'm exercising in the privacy of my garage.
