So you are training hard to look great, and you are starting to do all the things that just say "I love me"
Eating healthy foods that support your well-being and fantastic body
Exercising for energy, fitness and a tight butt
Getting enough beauty sleep so you look fabulous
There is a couple of things missing from this list that I think women forget about when training and are JUST as critical if not more so for your body
1. A really good sports bra
2. Really good training/running shoes
All too often I see women out running, bouncing along on the tread mill or outside, and you KNOW they are wearing a normal bra.
The breast is only composed of mammory glands, fat, connective tissue and all of the shape and position are held there by these delicate tendons called Cooper's ligaments with some secondary support from the skin.
Once those go, they go, and then surgery is often the only solution.
This is the other thing that I think stops a lot of women from exercising, their breast HURT.
Solution: Sports bra
Ok, training shoes.
I don't mean going to any sports shop and buying those cute pink trainers as they will look great with your fav gym kit.
I hate to tell you this ladies, but all of those fashion trainers are just that, fashionable.
Yes, they are FAR more comfortable than a lot of the shoes we generally wear, but performance shoes, in general, are butt ugly.
If you are doing any sort of impact training, running, aerobics classes, get the proper footwear.
I do know how to get proper running shoes, a couple of helpful hints:
1. When getting new runners, get a copy of a running magazine and check out some of the latest reviews. There are a few makes that are quite reknown for making solid running shoes, New Balance, Saucony, Asics
2. Go to a specialised running shop where their either make you run outside in the shoes and watch you, or have you run on a treadmill and check for things like pronation/supanation or if you have any other stability issues.
3. Get more than one pair of running shoes if you are running more than three times a week and rotate them. Running shoes will only last 6 months to a year before they start to lose their shock absorbtion (even though it may not feel like it) if you are putting in some serious miles.
I am really hoping someone is an expert on getting proper aerobics shoes.
If you are in England, near London, Runner's Need or the London Running Club are fantastic for shoes.
