Women’s fitness pants and leggings cover all workouts: high-waisted leggings adidas Adi365 or Puma Velocity for cardio, Gym Glamour flare or push-up models, Mandala legging designed for Pilates, warm versions Odlo, Erima or Elite Lab for training outside in winter, and training pants Joma, Hummel or adidas, which are looser, for warming up.
The freedom of movement, session after session.
Long, seven-eighths or three-quarters: which length for which session
The length is chosen based on the room temperature and the type of effort. The long legging goes down to the ankle and protects the shins during strengthening exercises on the floor, when the legs rub against the mat. The seven-eighths, like the adidas Adi365, stops above the ankle bone and clears the ankle during lunges and squats. The three-quarters, similar to Mizuno or Elite Lab models, finishes below the knee and keeps the calves cool during cardio. In all cases, a high, wide waistband, without elastic that digs in, stays in place when bending or doing burpees.

Opacity, fibers and warmth: what sets fabrics apart
Most leggings combine polyamide or polyester and elastane: the first fiber provides structure, the second offers stretch in all directions. A dense fabric passes the squat test, which involves squatting in front of a mirror to check that nothing shows through once the fabric is stretched. For running or training outdoors in winter, the thermal versions Odlo Active Warm, Erima Winter or Elite Lab Run, the latter having a windproof protection, keep the body's heat. The super.natural legging combines merino wool and synthetic fibers: the wool limits odours and stays warm even when wet.
Flare, push-up, training pants: loose or sculpting cuts
Not all sporty women look for a second skin. The legging flare Gym Glamour, fitted until the knee and then flared, and the flared trousers from the same brand echo the silhouette of dance and Pilates classes. The push-up version uses its seams to sculpt the buttocks, a desired effect in the gym as well as in everyday life. More loose-fitting, the training pants Joma Championship, Hummel Core or adidas Motion Essentials are worn for warming up, travelling to the gym, or mobility sessions, featuring a drawstring waist and often zippered pockets.

Frequently asked questions
What legging should I wear for a Hyrox race?
Hyrox involves repeating eight times a one-kilometre run and eight stations, such as the sled, rowing machine, or weighted lunges. A fitted legging with a high waist and friction-resistant fabric, like the Puma Hyrox, designed by the event's partner, is suitable for this demanding format.
How do I choose the size of my sports legging?
Compare your waist and hip measurements with the brand's size guide: a legging should fit snugly without digging into the skin. If it rolls at the waist or bunches behind the knees, it's too big; if it becomes transparent once stretched, it's too small.
Do I need a compression legging for fitness?
The slight compression of a fitted legging supports the thighs and limits muscle vibrations during jumps. For strengthening or cardio in the gym, a simply shaping model is sufficient; more marked compression mainly interests those doing long runs.
How do I wash a sports legging without damaging it?
Wash it inside out, at thirty degrees, without fabric softener, which clogs the fibers and hinders sweat wicking. Avoid tumble drying: heat relaxes elastane, causing the legging to gradually lose its shape.
