Get fit, look fit: Look good on leg day in these shorts

So you can show everyone that you never skip leg day

Eric Lalor

So you can show everyone that you never skip leg day.

Lots of people like to work out and that’s all very well.

There are quite a lot of gym goers, however, who prefer to skip leg day.

Although looking ripped and bulky from the waist up is all well and good, the sight of limbs below the waist looking like a pair of chicken legs shows that leg day is often dismissed by some.

Never skip leg day and you can show off the toned, muscly contours your legs possess in these pretty stylish looking gym shorts.

With the summer on its way (honest!) you can walk to the gym looking confident and stylish.

O’Neills Atlantic Gym Shorts  (€22)

oneillsshorts

These shorts are a basic but smart-looking. Light and elasticated, they incorporate Active Fit for more movement.

We like that the shorts have pockets too. Handy in the gym if you want to sneak in some chocolate (joke).

adidas Infinite Series shorts (€20)

adidasshorts

We are a bit of a sucker for adidas here in JOE and we love the simple but effective design of these shorts. Very causal and light, they also have the climalite fabric which removes sweat from you skin.

Comfort is a must in the gym and these are very comfortable and also stylish-looking.

Puma Training Multi Shorts (€20)

Again the emphasis here is on comfort and simple design. They incorporate the sweat technology that most shorts incorporate these days, but as well as side pockets, there’s an extra pocket for your multi-media device.

We love a pair of shorts where we can stick our smart phone into and listen to our own music and not that rubbish you hear in most gyms.

Under Armour Quarter Shorts (€32.41)

underarmourshorts

One of the fastest growing sports brands around, these Under Armour shorts are a demonstration of what makes them so successful.

Simple, light and very cool looking, these shorts will look great on anyone heading into the gym for a workout.

Nike Hyperspeed Woven shorts (€37)

nikeshorts

These training shorts from Nike look the part and they are made of a water-repellent fabric which keeps out water and limits your sweat absorption.

Work your chops off in the gym and these shorts will not show your sweat, but they will show you looking cool and stylish. Hell yeah!
