The Best Workout Bottoms for Curvy Figures

For weightlifters who need bottoms that will stay in place during those deep front squats and deadlifts, the German sportswear brand has your back with these chic shorts. They are built with squat-proof coverage, keeping the bottoms in place as you get to work, thanks to a high waistband, four-way stretch and technology that wicks away sweat. If you’re shy about working out in shorts, the Optime full-length leggings are also a must in your collection ($65).

When you’re looking for something in between a tight and sweatpants, joggers are the answer. Perfect for a literal jog or for, really, anything you’re ready to work up your heart rate for, customers laud these affordable bottoms for their flattering fit and, most importantly, their comfort.

Nike’s Plus Size collection has been quite popular since launching in 2017. One of their highest-rated items right now are these Nike Zenvy high-waisted leggings, which customers rave over for not being so restrictive while still offering support. Fewer pockets create less bulk (though there is a drop pocket in the back for essentials), they are squat-proof, and women say there is a stretch in the waistband, perfect if you have a belly.

With reportedly more than 1,000 pairs bought within the last month, these workout pants are selling like hotcakes on Amazon. Those who’ve bought them say the pants look very cute on (as in flattering, which is certainly a confidence boost), they appreciate the pockets and say for the price, they’re a good quality pair of bottoms.

Said to be a top-rated bottom, customers do seem to be impressed with these joggers from CRZ YOGA. What’s to rave about? Customers say they have a flattering fit and are comfortable. The fabric is breathable by being lightweight, but there’s no concern about or accusations of see-through or flimsy material.

With a perfect five-star rating, customers say these high-rise leggings from SPANX, a brand that knows how to smooth things out, are a win. They are touted for being supportive, having a great stretch, being soft, and fitting like a glove. No constant tugging and pulling, perfect for your workout and all-day wear on an errand day. They go up to a size 3X, so there’s something for everyone.

The girls love these bottoms by CALIA because they say they’re flattering no matter your shape, and they’re quite cozy to wear for extended periods. The compression also gets a thumbs up, and customers say the high-waist band doesn’t fall. As for the flare at the bottom, it’s not a large one, so no, you won’t look like a disco queen at the gym.
