PSA: It is possible to wear the wrong bra to spin class

Confession: Sometimes I feel a little like this old lady. I have a lot of boobs.


Confession #2: I often wear 2 (sometimes 3) bras when I play baseball. I hate the bounce.

Confession # 3: While I own a lot of sports bras, they aren't all top quality - hence the need to sometimes wear 3 of them. I have a few in my collection that are at least 7 years old. Gross, I know.

Confession #4: I was down to the last of my shitty bras (as a result of not enough laundry in my life) and pre-spin class I decided "Oh, I'll just wear this ratty old disgusting bra with zero elasticity one as it's just a spin class - barely any impact."

Seems fine right? WRONG!

During the warm up, I could tell that I (and all those around me) were in big trouble. 

It only got worse from there. The faster my legs would peddle, the more jiggling that would occur. And on the standing climbs? Forget about it. The best part? I was wearing a loose fitting v-neck t-shirt. Boobs.were.everywhere.

I changed my mind: that's not the best part. The best part is that I was in the front row and the instructor was my NEIGHBOR (and favorite instructor) Ken! Sorry about that visual. No one needs to see that. 

Lessons learned:
- Keep up with laundry at ALL times.
- There IS impact during spin class
- Throw out any ratty old disgusting bras with zero elasticity
- Sometimes it's good to be anonymous at the gym

Haha what a crazy ordeal... But at least you're going to spin class! I'm 4'11 so I usually don't go since my feet can't reach the pedals - lol!

Ahhh I spend money on my sports bras because I figure it's worth it! Actually... I should have stock in lulu if I'm honest. I tried to put on one of the fruit of the loom sports bra I used to wear when I was slightly smaller (36C rather than 36DD) and couldn't even walk around the house let alone do spin!

good to know! I have yet to do a spin class-I have no idea what to wear! I hear it's mighty sweaty, and that my lady bits will hurt...I didn't even factor boobs into the equation! I own TWO sports bras. Neither is particularly awesome. Is there a sports bra that hold everything in, while holding it all up in a way that makes your boobs also look fantastic? Ya, I'm an optimist. :)

Amy, I have lot's of extra boobage myself and no matter how much money I have spent on a sport's bra, it's never enough. I have found these great little workout tops though (from Walmart believe it or not) that are really stretchy but are super snug (I believe they are a work-out tank top) Most girls would wear them as their actual gear but I need them as extra bindage. The ones with a t-bar at the back work best I find. They come in a multitude of colours and are the best thing I've ever found when combined with a sports bra.
