Nike has always been one of the top brands for sportswear gear mainly because we love how their shoes are designed for different terrains and all sorts of conditions. Now, women can also get workout pants that were tailored for the specific workout. We’re not just talking about going into a store and asking for ‘yoga pants’ or ‘exercise shorts’, but something even more specific like tights for high intensity workouts or long distance running.
Not only do the styles differ from each other, but the materials makeup, finishes, rises and lengths are all catered towards helping you get the most out of your workout. Hate tights and shorts? There’s even a pants for running. Now we can’t use the excuse of not having the right workout clothes anymore.
