Workout Shorts

Workout shorts feature some very exacting requirements as far as clothing goes. They need to be lightweight, flexible, and breathable. Most importantly they need to not show off anything you’d rather keep to yourself as you put your body through the maze of twists, turns, flexes, and crunching that is your workout.

Those requirements all lend themselves well to spandex, or other varieties of clinging, stretchy material. However not everyone looks good in spandex, and men especially seem averse to wearing an outfit like that. Thankfully there are other options available for workout shorts as well. There are the ever popular sweats, for example.

Sweats are exactly the opposite of spandex when it comes to work out attire. Sweats are baggy, but cinch tight at certain locations. Sweat pants for instance have elastic waists and cuffs to prevent them from moving when you don’t want them to. Sweat workout shorts usually won’t cinch at the bottom, which means you need to ensure that the ones you buy are the right size, and won’t become a distraction during your workout.
