We all know the struggle of not wanting to put on an actual bra. Why deal with the pain of the straps, the uncomfortable push-up feeling and the wires when you can simply throw on your favorite sports bra? Whether you’re a fitness guru or only perform sit-ups when you need to change the TV channel, a sports bra is always a necessity in your wardrobe.
Valley went sports bra hunting to get the scoop on the variety of sports bras available and how to utilize each type. From the lounge wear bra to the “I’m about to kick some butt at the gym” bra, these are the ones we think you will love.

POPFLEX Set the Bar Bra: Cassey Ho, founder of Blogilates, created her very own brand of activewear, and we are in love.
