Tried And Tested: The One And Only Workout Leggings You'll Need And They're Only $26!

Working out has been a part of my life for many years now.  I've bought my share of workout apparel and some have been great and some I feel I wasted my money on.  I've always loved Old Navy's workout clothing and I've purchased some items from Target as well as Walmart but none compare to the CRZ YOGA workout leggings from Amazon.  

CRZ Yoga Naked Feeling High Waist Leggings

These leggings are super soft and have that buttery feel to them that make them super comfortable and almost feel like you're wearing nothing.  I love that they're high waisted and don't slip down, which is a huge plus for me.  There's nothing worse than working out and constantly having to readjust your clothing.  

There are many colors and a few lengths to choose from as well.  Being that I'm 5'1", I prefer the 25 inch long ones (or the capri style) but have ordered the 28 inch ones as well and they aren't overwhelmingly long. 

The capri leggings come in at $24 which is still a steal! These leggings have been compared to Lululemon's Align leggings.  I have never owned the Lululemon leggings so I can't compare them but I have seen reviews on Amazon that have claimed these to be just like them but for a fraction of the cost.   

I have used these leggings while doing different workouts.  From yoga to running to weight training, they have held up very well.  I take a few classes at the gym where we are moving all over the place as well as jumping and have yet to have a problem with them.  They are definitely squat proof as well so you need not worry about that. 

When buying these leggings, look at the size chart.  It's spot on.  I wear a size small and am 5'1" with an athletic build, 32 inch bust, 26 inch waist and about 34/35 inches around the hips.  For my measurements, the small seems to suit me pretty well.  The only issue is the fit around my waist.  They are a bit loose on the waist for me but still stay up well.  I highly recommend air drying them as well.  I have dried them in the dryer and have not experienced any shrinkage but I prefer to air dry so I don't risk them getting damaged from the heat. 

Lululemon vs. CRZ Yoga Leggings

These leggings have been considered Lululemon dupes.  If you've ever checked out or bought any Lululemon clothing, you know they're great quality but incredibly expensive.  Not everyone has the means to spend that kind of money on workout clothes.  These CRZ Yoga leggings are usually compared to the popular "Align" leggings from Lululemon. 

• Both the Align and CRZ Yoga leggings look very much alike.   
• The Align leggings offer more compression but the CRZ Yoga leggings really suck you in due to them being high-waisted.  
• While not as compressive, CRZ Yoga leggings are more durable. 
• The difference in price is also a big one.  $98 for Lulu Aligns as opposed to $26 for CRZ Yoga. 
• CRZ Yoga leggings are made of 71% Polyamide and 29% Spandex blend; Lululemon Align leggings are made of 80% Nylon and 19% Lycra elastane.
• Both are made of materials that are buttery-soft, sweat wicking, breathable and offer four-way stretch. 
• Both are opaque, so they're not see-through and totally squat proof.
• Since CRZ Yoga leggings are thin, depending on the underwear you are wearing you could have a VPL (visible panty line).
• Both offer hidden pockets in the waistband.
• Lulu Aligns are designed specifically for yoga; CRZ leggings can be worn to lounge about and hold up in many different workouts.

Highly, highly recommend these leggings by CRZ YOGA.  They're affordable, well-made, squat proof and are super comfy and cute!  Quite possibly the best Amazon and workout apparel purchase I have ever made.  I don't think I'll ever go back to purchasing workout leggings elsewhere.
