Best sports & outdoors workout shorts according to redditors

I've been wearing these for working out. At $15 it's hard to beat the price. They are not compression shorts, but I've had not had any issues with them riding up. I wear them for both lifting and running.

Good to hear that! Any recommendations for lower-priced shorts? I've got my eye on these / two, hoping they can keep my big butt covered without going halfway down my leg (I hate that so much it's SO uncomfortable), but I have no clue.

Man I hope one day I can rock the 3 inch inseam but that day is not today 😝I own like 8 pairs of Champion 7-inch inseam bike shorts for running because humidity plus thunder thighs equals danger will robinson. Open to any other chub-rub-mitigating shorts though.

I also am obsessed with my spibelt athletic fanny pack for runs or just General anytime activities. Girl pockets ain't shit and I'm not a purse person...

The very best thing is when the local track club puts on a fatass race, 40 people show up, and everyone stays to cheer for everyone. No one gets a t-shirt but everyone brings a couple bucks toward the snack spread.

The next best things? A cotton race shirt and a finish line beer.

A list of places in town you can bring your race bib and get a discount or small freebie. A local bar does bogo pints for certain races and a bakery gives you a free donut. Once I got free admission to a museum in Kansas City.

Other things:

I got a tech material beanie from a local race. It would be perfect for running if it had a ponytail slit and sometimes I wear it under my bike helmet.

Pint glasses are ok. I have a few from races and I don't need any more. I don't even use the ones I have. Wine glasses are too difficult to get home on a plane.

I got a medallion keychain from a marathon. They forgot to put them in the goody bags so they mailed them out weeks later. I still use it for my spare car key.

I like the idea of shorts but instead of running shorts (which I am picky about), those mesh-like ones from elementary gym class. Like these: http://www.amazon.com/Champion-7791-Womens-Mesh-Short/dp/B00AHS6CTS

For about a year it seemed like every local race around here gave finishers water bottles like these: http://www.customink.com/mms/images/catalog/styles/164200/catalog_detail_image_large.jpg
By the end of the year, I thought I never wanted to see another one. Now, 5 years later, I've lost or damaged all of them and could use more.

Do not need:

Tech t-shirts, low quality koozies, coupons for chiropractors and such in a town I'll never visit again (but maybe this is cool for locals at big races), cinch-string backpacks.

I have several pairs of the shorter version for cardio and I love them for cheap workout gear.

Happy happy cake day! Fun contest idea!

19 Not really.

20 My favorite item, just because it's so flipping pretty! Not necessarily what I want most though.


Bonus: Perhaps you'll be buying some of these for yourself? I bet you'll fill them with lots of tasty food!

Sounds like you just need some shorts that don't ride up. I have these and I really love them. I went by hip measurement and ordered one size up. They are perfect. I love the length and they stay in place. They are not really bike shorts (no padded butt). They are unbelievably comfortable and cool.
