Does skipping rope reduce breast size? Many dieters who only want to reduce their hips or abdomen worry that their breasts might also shrink. Can skipping rope reduce breast size? Those with large breasts who want to reduce their bust size naturally hope that skipping rope will achieve this goal. What is the actual situation? Let's look at what netizens who have used skipping rope for weight loss have to say.
Regarding the so-called issue of skipping rope reducing breast size, I'd like to share my thoughts. The structure of a woman's body is rather unfortunate; when we gain weight, it's first in the hips and thighs, and when we lose weight, it's first in the breasts—there's nothing we can do about it.
In addition, since so much fat in the breasts is supported by only one ligament extending from the shoulder, if the breasts are subjected to violent up-and-down movements without protection, the ligament will loosen, causing the breasts to sag and appear smaller. Therefore, when exercising, you should be willing to spend money on a good sports bra (although it is a pity that there are no truly professional sports bras with sufficient support in China, but we can find our own solutions).
Madonna reportedly wears three or five sports bras to support her breasts when she jogs. I myself wear two sports bras plus a small strapless top for support.
Also, during weight loss, the breasts will inevitably lose fat and become loose, so consistent massage is necessary. During my jump rope weight loss period, I consistently massaged my breasts with massage oil or cream after showering every day (just doing muscle massage, pushing fat from areas like the abdomen towards the breasts, etc.). When I went home for the Lunar New Year holiday to buy a bra, I was surprised to find that I had gone up a cup size.
I measured my bust and found that my underbust circumference had decreased. This must be because skipping rope reduced back fat, thus decreasing my underbust size. My upper bust circumference, however, remained the same due to proper care and maintenance. Those who can do calculations will immediately understand why my cup size actually increased. However, increasing my cup size isn't a good thing for me. Therefore, I don't think the claim that skipping rope reduces bust size is valid.
