I’ve never felt comfortable working out in shorts. I just feel too exposed. And then I constantly find myself pulling the shorts down as they ride up OR pulling them up as they ride down. When I first started CrossFit in 2010, I was wearing shorts regularly, but I could never find shorts that properly fit and I found myself distracted in my workout because I was constantly thinking about the shorts instead of the pull-ups ahead of me. So I cut shorts out of my life all together for YEARS. Any shorts that I tried along the way were either too short or too long, so I just gave up. Until this year!
lululemon has officially created THE BEST shorts I’ve ever worn. Just the other day I put on these 4″ Speed Up Shorts and told my husband this is the first time I’ve felt comfortable in shorts in probably 5 years. I can wear these shorts all day long without ever having to pull them up or pull them down. And they give amazing coverage, especially in the back. But one of the things I love most about the shorts is they don’t pinch around the waist. There is nothing worse than feeling like you are spilling over shorts, especially when you’re running sprints or doing squat cleans. These shorts will keep you confident and comfortable throughout any workout.
And lululemon has tons of different short styles to choose from. Their Speed Up Shorts also come in 2.5″ and you can get them in high rise, as well! Depending on what pair of shorts are your favorite, you’ll find features like a continuous drawstring that doesn’t get lost in the wash (genius), a pocket to store essentials when you’re out for a run, and liners that sweat-wick and quickly dry to keep you comfortable throughout the day. No chafing when you’re wearing these shorts! Praise the lord!

Even though lululemon crushes the shorts game, they also rock when it comes to sports bras. They have sports bras for low impact, medium support, and high impact to make sure you’re compact, even throughout double unders and box jumps. Their Enlite Bra is insanely supportive, especially for my larger chested ladies out there. Then the Energy Long Line Bra, the one I’m wearing in this post, is great for medium impact. Whenever I’m wearing this bra, I don’t have to worry about anything moving, even when running stairs. It’s so comfortable and it comes in 7 different colors! But if you’re just looking for a cute sports bra that you can wear to yoga then out with friends later on, their Still Now Bra is a mix of comfort and fashion. They have sports bras for every size, shape, and activity!

Yes–I LOVE that they’re making these shorts in 4″ now! In my 30s, I was okay wearing them at 2.5″ but I’ve recently been feeling like I need more coverage. I was so excited to see a few weeks ago that they are doing them in 4″. Bought two pairs!
the length is so great!!
