I am unsure where it comes from, but in the end I don't think it a really good idea for me. I do a lot of strength and resistance training to go along with biking and hiking (and spinning), so I am probably doing enough as far as a range of activities.

As I've put it from time to time in the past, my mom got the instructions wrong when it came to my feet/ankles. They work fine, but have had reconstructive surgery and a heel osteotomy on one foot five years ago and the other could probably use it (but it isn't THAT bad and no-way am I going through THAT again) - between that and my asthma I have several reasons to not really pursue it. A couple of jogging laps at the gym from time to time might fill a little of that "wanting to run" without being overly hard on my feet.

I also bounce. A lot. It gets mighty uncomfortable, regardless of the kind of sports bra I have on
