As if it’s not hard enough to be motivated to workout, does it have to be so difficult to find a good bra or top to wear to the gym, too? Some are too long, too short, too clingy, or don’t give enough support. I’ve hunted everywhere for a sports bra that does everything it should, and I’ve finally found a few! Here’s my list of 7 great sports bras for working out…

My favorite workout bra had one fatal flaw that designated it to the bottom of the pile after only a few weeks — the seams under the arms chafed. This one by Nike has flat seams, though, to eliminate chafing, and it’s also made of moisture-wicking fabric. It also comes in four colors —black, blue, grey, and red — so there’s a color that will work with the shorts you already have.
