"Has this ever happened to you? You&amp;#x27;ve got the time and the motivation to get up and work out, but you can&amp;#x27;t find your sports bra. This is, sadly, a very regular occurrence for me. No matter how organized I think I am about getting all my sports bras into one place, none of them are actually in that place when I go to look for them, minutes before heading to the gym or out on a run. It happened&amp;amp;#8212;again!&amp;amp;#8212;this weekend. The sports bra was nowhere to be found, and I&amp;#x27;m not the kind of exerciser who&amp;#x27;s happy going without. So instead of skipping the run, I improvised. I found a semi-stretchy, mostly Spandex tank top at the back of a drawer, and folded it in half, upward (I figured the doubling of stretchy fabric would provide some extra support), and pinned it. Perfect? No&amp;amp;#8212;it didn&amp;#x27;t wick away sweat like a real sports bra, and things were a bit, er, jigglier than I might have preferred. But it passed! Another possible sports bra stand-in: a bathing suit top. Not a string bikini, of course, but if you have a two-piece sporty swimsuit that&amp;#x27;s more for swimming than for sunning, it may have enough sports-bralike qualities to keep things in place. A word of caution, though: Some swimsuit fabrics aren&amp;#x27;t made for jumping up and down outside of water, so there&amp;#x27;s the possibility of chafing&amp;amp;#8212;yeowch. If you have some time and sewing skill, you can actually use the cups of of an old bathing suit and sew them into a tank top like this, which is not only cute&amp;amp;#8212;it&amp;#x27;s functional! And the last...well, I&amp;#x27;ve heard about this method, and there are lots of tutorials about how to pull it off&amp;amp;#8212;but I confess I&amp;#x27;ve never tried it. Would you? All you need is a pair of scissors...and a pair of guy&amp;#x27;s underpants! What do you do when you can&amp;#x27;t find your sports bra&amp;amp;#8212;do you have any emergency backup methods? Do you exercise without? Or do you just use a regular bra?
