Having the right activewear can make all the difference in your performance when it comes to high-impact cardio. You deserve clothes that give you support, comfort, and performance without compromising style.
Having just gone through my summer runner-girl era, I’ve tried my fair share of activewear to bring you the perfect essentials to keep up with every move, jump, and run, even during your sweatiest, most intense sessions.
These high-impact essentials have stood the test of time and the heat of the summer when I get most sweaty. And, of course, these picks come in a variety of colors to help you look as good as you feel.
High Impact Zip Sports Bra
When it comes to high-impact cardio, the High Impact Zip Sports Bra is an absolute game-changer for anyone who needs serious support and coverage. As someone with a larger cup size, I’ve struggled to find a sports bra that ticks all the boxes: comfort, security, and style. This bra delivers on all fronts, making it essential for any cardio lover.
First off, the coverage is unmatched. The thicker band and molded cups provide incredible support, keeping everything in place during even the most intense workouts, which we LOVE for the BTC. The front zipper design is not only functional but also gives you peace of mind with its locking mechanism and internal hook, meaning no more worrying about the zipper slipping mid-run.
The thoughtful design doesn’t stop there. With ample armpit coverage, there’s no awkward side boob exposure, which is a huge plus for me. At the same time, the mesh accents and racerback design add a touch of flavor, balancing breathability with a sleek, sexy vibe.
The High Impact Zip Sports Bra is made from a durable yet soft performance fabric designed to move with you while wicking away sweat to keep you comfortable as you train. It’s amazing for everything from spin class to HIIT workouts.
You get the perfect mix of functionality and flair, making this bra a standout piece in any cardio wardrobe.
Wicked Sports Bra
As a member of the big titty committee (BTC), I need a very supportive sports bra when I’m going for my runs.
I love that the Wicked Sports Bra has a higher neckline and gives a bit of side coverage, so I feel locked and loaded in this bra. The thing I like the most, though, is the Velcro adjustable band that makes this sports bra super customizable because you can make sure it fits properly on your ribcage, which I think is huge because not everyone with the same cup size will have the same ribcage size.
The Wicked Sports Bra is made of a beautiful, high-impact performance fabric, which is perfect for even the sweatiest cardio session. I also like the simplicity of the elevated racerback design because it’s not too strappy and gives really nice support. Plus, it has a hidden pocket in the racerback! What!?
Overall, I love this sports bra because of the support and coverage, and the adjustability makes it perfect for the BTC and the itty bitty titty committee.
Colorado Pocket Legging
When the temperature drops, staying warm while staying active is key, especially if you like to run outside. Well, the Colorado Pocket Legging has you covered. These fleece-lined leggings are a dream for outdoor cardio lovers, combining warmth, style, and functionality into one perfect package.
Think of these as the chic alternative to long johns: cozy on the inside yet sleek and stylish on the outside. The fleece lining keeps you warm during chilly runs, while the high-waisted design ensures a secure and flattering fit.
One of my favorite features is the stirrup detail, which not only keeps the leggings in place but also prevents them from rolling up if you’re layering with boots.
And, of course, we never sacrifice practicality when we’re talking about Buffbunny Collection! The side pockets are spacious enough to store your essentials, like your phone or keys, making these leggings as functional as they are fashionable.
These leggings will keep you cozy and stylish when you hit the trails, run errands, or brave the cold to walk your dogs. The Colorado Pocket Legging is the ultimate choice for staying comfortable and stylish.
Lit Laser Cut Legging
This is one of my favorite pieces for true high-impact cardio. The Lit Laser Cut Leggings provide a secure, locked-in feel that stays in place, especially when you’re jumping or running. The Elysium fabric is an amazing performance fabric, and it’s ideal for any intense or high-impact activity.
I also love the rise of these leggings because the last thing I want to worry about when I’m bending over or jumping is being self-conscious about my stomach, so these are perfect for keeping me locked in and confident.
One of the big things I love about all BuffBunny Collection leggings is that there is no front seam, so we don’t have to worry about cameltoe!
These leggings, specifically, don’t have any seams, but they have the perfect contouring to highlight your natural curves. Plus, the laser-cut holes add a bit of sexiness to a staple piece everyone should have in their closet.
