Sports Bra for bigger bust?

Hey all

I'm joining my local gym today and realised I don't have a sports bra.

Can anyone recommend somewhere to buy a good, but purse friendly, supportive bra for a larger bust? I'm an F cup.

Thanks!

    I've bought from www.lessbounce.co.uk and thought they were very good :) but I got measured in a shop, they just didn't have my size in a sports bra, so I knew what size I was going for

    edited to say I was an F cup at that stage

    The Enell, as found on LessBounce, is excellent. ( Google for prices).

    It feels a bit weird at first as it is more of a very firm-fitting top than an everyday style bra.

    I have tried every style of sports-bra going. I am a big busted lady, so when I say that Enell is good, I really do mean it. Zero bounce and no aching back and shoulders.

    If you are new to excersing, I would thoroughly recommend getting properly fitting trainers designed for your activity. Don't go to high-street 'sports' shops: they don't have a clue. Go to a specialist running shop. They have the proper experience and biomechanical training to give you the right shoes for the job, whether that's light aerobics, step or line-dancing.

    Thanks all, I'll check out those websites now.

    Re trainers - yep I'll look at finding a specialist shop in my area as I desperately need a good pair for it.

    I'm very new to exercising but I totally loved my first session at the gym :j

    Absolutely second the advice on the trainers as well, you don't want to end up injured before you get properly started. Running shops will also fit you for trainers for regular gym use and for walking. If there's an up and running shop near you would recommend it.

    The only one I've found any use was the Enell - I had tried on lots of others and not a single one passed the jumping up and down test! I also got mine from Less Bounce. They do it in nice colours too from time to time. It's not like normal bras but it holds everything in place no matter how hard you exercise. :)
    Trying to spend less time on MSE so I can get more done ... it's not going great so far! :)
    Sorry if I don't reply to posts - I'm having MAJOR trouble keeping up these days!
