Sports Bra Review For Runners with Big Boobs: Nike Indy High Support
@kellykkroberts To those of us with big chests, support women sports has a very, very different meaning. We mean give us support so we can just straight up participate. The marketing for this bra makes me want to light myself on fire. These are your words @Nike “Indy Bra: On. Limitations: Off. The High Support Indy Bra is your new and supportive best friend.” “The Indy Bra’s full range of support levels keeps the girls supported and provides a firm or flexible hold that contours to your body and locks you in so you can lock in. With a strappy v-shaped silhouette, the Indy Bra is engineered to make you look good and feel good no matter how you choose to move.” “With every rep and every step, the Indy Bra’s full range of support levels keeps the girls supported and gives you the flexibility and confidence to focus, find your flow, and move with intention.” I don’t feel good in this bra. I am not supported in this bra. I am limited by this bra because I literally cannot run in it. The women who can run in this bra don’t need this bra. They have options. I’m talking about those of us who genuinely don’t have high support sports bras that don’t hurt us or make us bleed. #nikewomen-You are one of the few brands that has the money to innovate. I am begging you to support women who are truly facing barriers for entry. Our chests and the lack of high support sports bras that won’t make us bleed, give us tension headaches, jaw pain, etc. stop women from moving our bodies. That seems like a pretty good call to action? There is a literal need for better sports bras. Help. You say just do it. I beg you, just do it. If anyone can do it, you can. #sportsbrasquad #sportsbra #sportsbrareview ♬ original sound - Coach Kelly

Head coach and creator of the Badass Lady Gang, Kelly Roberts’ pre-BALG fitness routine consisted mostly of struggling through the elliptical and trying to shrink her body. It wasn’t until hitting post-college life, poised with a theatre degree, student loans, and the onset of panic, that she found running. Running forced Kelly to ditch perfectionism and stomp out fear of failure. Viral selfies from the nyc half marathon struck a chord with women who could relate to the struggle, and soon the women’s running community Badass Lady Gang was born.
BALG is about enjoying life with a side of running. Kelly’s philosophy measures success by confidence gained, not pounds lost. If you aren’t having fun, it’s time to pivot. Kelly is an RRCA certified coach and has completed Dr. Stacy Sims ‘Women Are Not Small Men’ certification course helping coaches better serve their female athletes. Over the years Kelly has coached thousands of women from brand new runners to those chasing Boston marathon qualifying times, appeared on the cover of Women’s Running Magazine, joined Nike at the Women’s World Cup, and created a worldwide body image empowerment movement called the Sports Bra Squad. She lives in Brooklyn, New York.
