Women's fitness pants

The core conclusion about women’s fitness pants comes first: there is no so-called “best model across the Internet”, and don’t believe the nonsense that “the more expensive, the more professional, and the tighter, the better the shaping effect.” The core of choosing the right pants is always to match your sports scene, body shape characteristics and actual wearing needs. A big-name brand that costs a few hundred yuan may not be more suitable for you than a basic model that costs dozens of yuan.

Hmm, I have bought more than 20 pairs of fitness pants myself, ranging from street stalls with free shipping at 9.9 to professional outdoor brand models with more than 2,000 yuan. I have also seen many girls in group classes suffer from problems when they don’t wear them correctly, so I can figure out how to do it. I encountered two typical cases in the hip thrust class last week: a little girl was wearing the popular lululemon replacements on the Internet, with more than 100 pairs. When she was doing the third set, she started to pull her crotch from time to time. After class, she told me that she was stuck at all. She didn't dare to squat down, so she relied on holding back her strength. There was also a girl who had just purchased Arc'teryx soft-shell fitness pants from overseas, which cost more than 2,000 yuan. She tried the burpee that day, doing three jumps to lift her pants once. In the end, she simply squatted on the side and changed into the old sweatpants she had been wearing for half a year.

Nowadays, the fitness circle has been divided into two groups when it comes to choosing fitness pants, and no one can convince the other. Functionalists think that this thing is just a sports consumable, as long as it dries quickly, does not fall off the crotch, and does not get stuck in the crotch. The ladies who practice powerlifting around me basically have three or four pairs of basic black pants from Decathlon. They cost 99 yuan a pair. They don’t feel bad when applying magnesium powder or kneeling on the deadlift platform. They don’t loosen after being washed dozens of times a year. They are very cost-effective. The other group is the experience party, and they are willing to pay for the fabric texture and fit. I once bought a pair of high-waisted nude pants from a niche brand. They are as soft as a second layer of skin and can just hold my two fake hips tightly. Every time I wear them to practice buttocks, I feel that my buttocks are more powerful when I look in the mirror. Do you think this is an IQ tax? I think it's worth spending a few hundred yuan to buy a sports motivation.

As for "whether fitness pants can be worn outside", which has been particularly hotly debated in the past two years, there is actually nothing to argue about. After working out, I often wear it directly to the nearby vegetable market to buy groceries and buy a cup of milk tea on the way. No one around me thinks it's weird, and I feel comfortable myself. After all, it's too troublesome to change pants after sweating. However, some friends feel that fitness pants are too close-fitting and a bit revealing when worn out on the street every day. They would rather bring an extra pair to change. There is nothing wrong with that. Clothing is your own choice. As long as it does not affect others, you can be comfortable in whatever way you want. There is no need to call each other "uncivilized" or "too conservative".

Let me talk about some real experience in product selection, which I learned through many pitfalls. If you usually practice powerlifting or crossfit, which often involves rubbing equipment and the ground, don't buy those flower stands with mesh, sequins, or lace. I bought a pair with lace on the side because I was greedy for good looks. The drawstrings broke during a deadlift, and I was so distressed that I didn't want to buy new pants for half a month. If you practice a lot of static movements such as yoga and Pilates, choose a fabric with a nude feel. The spandex content should be above 20%. It will not stretch against the skin and will not shrink up when doing downward dog pose. You don’t need to pull the trouser legs every ten minutes after practicing. If you usually focus on aerobics, skipping, aerobics, running and other running and jumping movements, you must feel the crotch to see if it is three-dimensional. The kind of one-piece flattened crotch will make you doubt your life after running for three kilometers. Don't ask me how I know this.

By the way, don’t believe in the IQ tax of “fat-burning fitness pants” and “negative ion hip-lifting pants”. If a pair of pants can help you burn fat and lift your buttocks, wouldn’t we be fools who go to the gym every day to practice hip thrusts? The so-called butt lift is nothing more than cutting or adding padding at the hip line to cover up your own flesh. It will look the same after you take it off. If you really want to change the shape of your buttocks, you have to practice. Don't pay the merchants unjust money. There are also the kind that have shiny knees and bulging legs after two or three washes. Just pass it next time. It is most likely that the fabric ratio is not good. After wearing it a few times, it will become loose like long johns. It is a waste of money.

In fact, to put it bluntly, fitness pants are just a tool that serves sports. You don’t have to be kidnapped by brand marketing or other people’s aesthetics. When you wear them to practice, you don’t have to be distracted by pulling on your pants, and you don’t have to be breathless. You look happy, which is better than anything else. After all, when we spend time working out, we just want to feel comfortable.
