When you are working out, an ill-fitted bra can make you uncomfortable, reducing the intensity of your workout session. Here are five amazing tips you should definitely follow to pick the right sports bra for your workout sessions.

Choose bras based on the type of workout
There are two basic kinds of bras you find in stores and online websites:

• Compression bra – These are cheaper and come in universal sizes like S, M, L, XL etc. Compression bras are great for women with a  small cup size. For low-intensity workouts, these work best.
• Encapsulation bra – Encapsulation sports bra is known for its maximum support while workouts.

Pick bras with adjustable bands
many sports bras have pullover straps. However, pullover straps come with minimal support. With time, the fabric stretches and is no longer comfortable. Choose bras that come with adjustable hooks or straps.

Skin show
If you are buying bras online, check the size charts in detail before placing your order. If you are shopping at sports stores, then definitely try out samples before you purchase them.

Choose the right fabric
If you find some skin allergies, your sports bra might not be of the right material.

Maintenance
If you wash your bra every time you work out, the material of your bra will get stretched.  If you work out 5 times a week, have three sports bras with you. Make sure you gently hand wash your bra after you wear them.

A comfortable Sports Bra improves the efficiency of your workout. You should give more importance to the material and fit as compared to the design and look. Check your body measurements at least once a year and if there are variations, change your bra accordingly.
