Exercise MYTH #16: Jogging and running will make a woman's breasts sag

 I'm not sure why the Colonel thinks he knows about this topic, but he's making sense here!

The TRUTH: This is not a myth! Jogging and running will make a woman's breasts sag, if she does not wear proper support.

Wear a sports bra and do not even think of eliminating excellent cardio from your workout. Walking is for people who cannot run, and I hope you are not in that category. If you do not wear a good sports bra, exercising can make your breasts sag more quickly, says Peter Bruno, M.D., an internist in New York City. High-impact activities, particularly jogging or aerobics, can stress your Cooper's ligaments, the connective tissue that keeps breasts firm. According to the American Council on Exercise, compression bras work best for smaller-busted women. The more well endowed (typically a C cup or larger) should opt for an 'encapsulation' bra that supports each breast separately. Replace workout bras every six months to a year.
