Whether you’re on the hunt for a super-supportive sports bra or an oh-so-sexy lingerie set, finding a #flawless, designed-to-fit bra can feel like the ultimate struggle. Maybe you’re spilling out on the sides, maybe getting in and out of the bra feels like a workout in itself, or maybe the bra that claims to be supportive leaves you feeling like you’re going to get hit in the face with a boob mid-run.
“Finding the perfect bra is never easy,” says Christi Marraccini, certified personal trainer and head coach at Tone House in New York City. “But these workout moves can help. They all target ‘bra sensitive’ areas along with other areas of the body, so all bras will become the perfect bra.”
So stop shopping (at least for a few minutes) and start sweating. Marraccini recommends these eight moves that’ll leave you feeling tough, toned, and ready to strut in that new racerback, strapless, or super-sexy bra. Pick two to three movements and incorporate them into any workout that’s lacking an upper-body focus (like running or cycling), or add to an upper-body workout for an additional challenge. Complete the movements for one minute each, and aim to do one to three rounds. (Speed up your progress towards your weight-loss goals with Women’s Health’s Look Better Naked DVD.)
