This covers your lower abdomen comfortably, kind of a mid-high waist shorts. Has heavy gauge waistband for support & secure fit. Another amazing feature is it has a Cell Phone sized side pocket. This is perfect for someone who loves running and bringing out their phone with them, playing music and stuff. I bet I will love this too as it is snug but not super tight in the leg.

Best Loose Fitting Workout Shorts

The Lululemon run speed shorts are the best I’ve ever found. Don’t ride up, don’t fall down, not sheer. I like the 2.5 inch inseam but they also come in a 4 inch I believe.

If you are someone who doesn’t like tight shorts, then this one is best for you! For someone like me who doesn’t care for a having little loose at the bottom of the shorts, this is perfect! I don’t want any clothing to be touching my skin the entire time. It is lightweight, breathable, simple yet classy!

Another win from Ododos! High waist short, thus supporting the lower abdomen and the back properly enough which also offers more length than any other shorter shorts and has free extra wide waist band panel, built for comfort. This one seems so flattering on your hips, and thighs! Some of the best powerlifting shorts available today.

Best Yoga Shorts That Can Take a CrossFit WOD

I picked up several pairs of these last week and love them. 7″ inseam; they have met the running/burpee/squatting test. If you’re not 100% comfy in just spandex shorts, I’ve also worn spandex with soccer shorts over them, too. These are the best gym shorts women.

Amanda from the Barbell Beauties Faceboook group

Another high-waist, long shorts. Very comfortable and breathable. They do stay in placed even with the most high-intensity, rigorous, extreme workout you might want to dive in. A good investment for long term use!
