14 Running Essentials I Can’t Live Without, From Fuel to Recovery Tools

Forme Revive Bra ($195)

It may cost a pretty penny, but it works. I find that ever since I’ve started to run in this posture-correcting sports bra, I pay more attention to my form, stand up straighter, and tuck in my pelvis, all of which may help with injury prevention long-term. The bra is designed to immediately improve upper-body alignment and body foundation, according to the brand. Designed by an orthopedic surgeon, it uses tension fabrics and panels to apply pressure to key areas, but don’t mistake that to mean it feels tight. If anything, I feel light compression when I’m wearing it, but it’s not restrictive and it certainly doesn’t affect my mobility. You can read more about the bra that’s also worn by Taylor Swift in our editor’s Forme Power Sports Bra review.

Editor quote: “In addition to providing a little nudge to stand up straighter, the style also works just as well as a normal sports bra. Its wireless design is supremely comfortable and has a compressive nature that helps to keep everything pulled in and together — with no fear of slippage during an intense workout or yoga session.

It’s hard to quantify, but I suspect the bra helped improve the quality of my workouts, especially my yoga sessions or back exercises. Because the style is designed to support good posture, I feel comfortable exerting more energy in my stretches and reps; I’m not so worried about slipping into bad form.” — Kyley Warren, assistant editor, Shopping
