How to Choose the Perfect Sports Bra for Your Workout

Written by: Bree Masters

Finding the perfect sports bra is more than just a fashion statement - it’s essential to your performance. Whether you’re practicing yoga, lifting weights, or going for a run, your sports bra should provide the right level of support and comfort. This guide will walk you through how to choose the right sports bra for your needs and ensure you feel good sp you can focus on being 1% better every day with no distractions.

Match Your Activity with the Right Support

The type of workout you do should determine the support level of your sports bra. Wearing the wrong bra can lead to discomfort and even injury. Let’s break it down by activity intensity:

Low-Impact Activities

For activities like yoga, pilates, or walking, where movements are smooth and controlled, low-impact sports bras are perfect. A perfect blend of comfort and style, everyday support bras ensure a natural feel and gentle lift, ideal for casual wear or low-impact activities. Embrace your natural shape without sacrificing style and feel comfortable throughout your day. LSKD’s collection of womens sports bras offers options that prioritise comfort while keeping you supported.

Medium-Impact Activities

If you’re into hyrox, functional fitness, weightlifting, or running, medium-impact activities require bras that provide more structured support without compromising comfort. Medium support sports bras are the ones for you. Engineered for performance, they offer the perfect balance of comfort and support, ensuring you stay comfortable and confident during high-impact exercises. With thicker straps, additional padding, and a snugger fit, these bras keep everything in place while you move.

HIGH-Impact Activities

For high-impact workouts like running or intense HIIT sessions, it’s essential to have a sports bra that provides maximum support. While we don't currently offer high-support sports bras just yet (they're in the works, I promise!), our medium support sports bras still provide excellent coverage and stability for activities that involve moderate to intense movements. With their durable design and comfortable fit, you can confidently take on your workouts while staying supported.

It’s Time to Choose the Right Sports Bra & Size

Selecting the correct bra size is crucial for both comfort and support. How to choose a sports bra size can be tricky, but once you know your fit, it’s easier to find your ideal bra.
