Tired of sports bras that don't fit? Women are obsessed with this size-inclusive bra that actually supports bigger busts: 'You forget you are wearing it'
As an active woman with a larger chest, it's hard to find a workout bra that actually supports me fully. Most feel like they're not tight enough, or not adjustable enough. Some feel too tight for my liking. There really is no in-between. That's where Honeylove's super comfy CrossFlex Activity Bra comes in. It's available in band sizes from 30 to 44, and cup sizes from A to G. This is one of the most inclusive sizing guides I've ever seen as a shopper — normally I struggle to find band 30 anywhere. You can shop it in three colors (Sand, Runway, Astral) and each style has adjustable bra straps for extra comfort and support. I personally love the mesh panels which add a little bit of an edge to the otherwise plain design. You can also choose to adjust the straps into a cross for more support and to keep you from bouncing all over the place. Plus, the no-underwire design means nothing is digging into your skin. The CrossFlex Activity Bra is built for moderate to high impact workouts, which means it can withstand your spin class and your HIIT workout with ease. Unlike most active bras, this option has a hook and eye closure (akin to a traditional bra) which makes it easier to put on and adjust in size. If you've ever struggled to get a sports bra off after a sweaty workout, that problem won't exist with the CrossFlex Activity Bra. It offers a slight lift too, and since the fabric is sweat-wicking, you won't end up with big wet patches on the fabric after long workouts. Customers love it too, with many scoring it above a 4.5-star rating. 'I find that the band on this bra DOES NOT roll up and for me that is a game changer. I will be purchasing another one of this style and may even branch out to try another style,' says one happy shopper. 'This bra really is so comfortable you forget you are wearing it. It is supportive and holds everything where it is supposed to be. This is my favorite all-time bra and I'm 71 so I've been through many bras,' says another. 'This bra is extremely comfortable, you can wear it anytime, not just for sports, and it looks very good under a T-shirt. It gives excellent support and coverage. I will never buy another brand of bra,' says a third. For activewear or daily wear, the CrossFlex Activity Bra is what you need. It's supportive, comfy, stylish, and the band does not roll up! Shop it now and try it out for yourself.

Nike delays the release of its new activewear line with Kim Kardashian
The eagerly anticipated collaboration between Kim Kardashian and Nike has delayed its launch. NikeSkims, which was announced in February for a spring release, is pushing back its launch date because of production delays, according to a source familiar with the situation. A new date hasn't been revealed. The collection is an extension of Kardashian's popular shapewear line and aimed at disrupting the 'global fitness and activewear industry with best-in-class innovation in service of all women athletes,' according to a previous press release. Few details about NikeSkims have been made available, including pricing and images. The webpage hasn't been updated since the original announcement. The Kardashian-backed collection with Skims is a first for Nike, which hasn't partnered with an outside company before to create a new brand. Instead, it has relied on acquisitions or tapping popular athletes (i.e. Michael Jordan) for apparel. Broadening the appeal of Nike is part of CEO Elliott Hill's plan to revive the troubled company, whose stock has dropped 20% this year. In recent years, the company has lost its competitive edge in the activewear category against Lululemon, Alo and even Old Navy. Nike recently announced hiked prices on some of its products, although it didn't mention higher US tariffs as the reason. The company said in a previous statement that 'we regularly evaluate our business and make pricing adjustments as part of our seasonal planning.' The company is also trying to recover from strategy mistakes. It is scaling back the supply of its classic sneaker lines Air Force 1 and Pegasus to juice demand in order to sell the sneakers at full prices. Nike also wants to push shoppers to buy higher-priced Air Max shoes designed for running. Nike (NKE) releases earnings next Thursday.

I've found the best clothing brand for running errands this summer — it can be worn in and out of the gym
'ATHLEISURE' isn't really a word that factors into my life. There are clothes I use to exercise — usually a ratty t-shirt and gym shorts — and clothes I wear out and about. However, I was recently sent some gear from Irish brand Gym + Coffee, and my eyes were opened to the possibility of clothes that do both. 2 2 As you might be able to tell from the name, Gym + Coffee makes garments designed to take you from your workout to your post-gym social commitments. They might not be smart enough to wear out to dinner, but their sleek, minimalistic design means they're certainly nice enough to wear out to brunch or to run errands. They tick the box that I think all good gym gear should tick: they make you excited to do exercise. Coffee Tee in Petrol Blue Coffee Tee in Petrol Blue, £30 from Gym + Coffee In many ways, this is just a standard, breathable workout t-shirt. There's nothing too fancy about the material; it's 88% recycled polyester (which is a nice eco-friendly touch) and 12% elastane, which gives it a nice form-fitting stretch. I really loved the fit of this tee; it's got just a tiny bit of extra length, which means that you won't be exposing your stomach every time you reach your arms above your head. I also liked that it doesn't go over the top with the stretchiness — it's tight enough to be form-fitting, but loose enough that you won't look like an idiot if you decide to go for a pint after your workout. It's also super breathable, soft to the touch and, at £30, it's not silly money. Relentless 1/4 Zip in Petrol Blue Relentless 1/4 Zip in Petrol Blue, £60 from Gym + Coffee BUY HERE This was the surprise standout for me. It's also a nice design touch to include a raglan sleeve, which extends in one piece up to your collar, rather than stopping at the shoulder. It gives you a bigger range of movement than an ordinary sleeve. While that's nothing groundbreaking, it just shows an attention to detail that I appreciate. Other neat little features include a size pocket with an invisible zip and thumb holes. It says a lot that it's recieved nothing but five-star reviews on the Gym+Coffee site, and that's from 50+ reviews — no mean feat. I think I echo the sentiments of this review: "Fits like a glove. Nice and tight on the arms and chest while not showing off the dad gut. Love it. Highly recommend." Essential 6" Shorts in Petrol Blue Essential 6" Shorts in Petrol Blue, £40 from Gym + Coffee BUY HERE I've always liked a shorter short, especially for working out, but it's worth mentioning that Gym + Coffee sells two versions of these shorts: a six-inch version and an eight-inch version. Weirdly, though, if you have your heart set on Petrol Blue, you'll have to be happy to show some thigh — you can't get the colour in the eight-inch shorts. As with the quarter zip, there's an attention to detail here I like. They have the sort of thick waistband I usually associate with yoga pants, for example, which helps them to stay in place during high-intensity sports. And as a person whose primary form of exercise is tennis, I appreciated that I could fit two tennis balls in the pockets.
