The Best Black Workout Pants: Zella

Are Zella black workout pants worth it? You guys asked, and I'm telling you my opinion on the MOST popular black workout pants! 

Looking for black workout pants? These Zella leggings are GREAT on a pear shape body!Hi, my name is Carly and I'm addicted to cute workout wear.  Seriously, working on this series for you guys…..has made me a workout clothes addict.  I'm in for a rude awakening next week when school is in session and I need to wear actual clothes.  Now I get why some people live in stretchy pants.  I'm going to be milking this athleisure trend for as long as possible.

So, when I posted about my purple Zella Leggings earlier this week and talked about whether they were worth the money….I got a LOT of emails from you guys.  Some people said they were worth every penny.  Some said they'd NEVER spend that much on purple pants.  And a majority asked the same question.  What about Black Workout Pants? Are the Black Zella Leggings as great fitting as the purple pair?  And this? My verdict on the black leggings I tried from Zella.

I love these black workout pants! Black capri leggings are a total staple for any athleisure wardrobe!

Should You Buy Zella Black Workout Pants?

Black workout pants are like the staple piece of any good athletic gear collection.  And my big thing this year? I want to feel good.  So cute workout clothes? It's as much for fashion as it is for function.  By the end of a work day, if I'm being honest…….working out is not exactly at the top of my list of high interest tasks.  I'd happily cuddle up on the couch with a bowl of ice cream instead.  But, I KNOW that working out makes me feel better in the long run.  I may not be trying to lose a ton of weight (you can read about why HERE)…..but I am trying to stay healthy and strong.  And nothing motivates me to work out like a great workout OUTFIT.

So, black pants are a necessity.  Great fitting ones.  And these? They're the Zella ‘Live In – Hot' Mesh Detail Capris (these are an UPDATED SIMILAR VERSION).  I love that they're a little more exciting than basic black leggings (although I have these also and they're STELLAR).  The best part of these pants? And most of Zella's leggings? They're higher waisted.  So those of us with you know, hips and curves……they hug them without spillover.  Trust me, life changing.

Verdict: YOU NEED THESE.  They're totally worth the money.

    I definitely need to try them. I wear black workout pants even when I’m not working out, so I’d definitely get my money’s worth out of them.

Have you ever attended a luau? This was the first Have you ever attended a luau?This was the first I’ve EVER attended (fun fact, when we came to Aulani 5 years ago we were supposed to and it was rained out). The night before on this trip, we had some storms and I thought….oh no, round 2? But……the Hawaiian sun did it’s job and the weather for this was PERFECT. To be honest, this was not cheap.  I was a little apprehensive about whether I would feel it was worth the money but…..WOW was it ever.  The food was amazing, there were really fun activities for kids at the beginning and the cultural performances were phenomenal.  All three of us (including not wanting to spend even more $$$ vacation Robbie) left raving about the experience. Aulani wins for us so far on this trip that I’m so glad I booked in advance (highly suggest doing this as far out from your trip dates as you can)- the luau (try night 2 or 3 of your trip so you’ve had time to adjust to the time change)- Aunty’s Beach House (this is still at limited capacity so you DO need to book in advance, I booked a session for days 2, day 3, and day 4 and we’ve enjoyed having a bit of time each day)- character dining and prix fix dinner at Makahiki (we are one big meal each vacation day people, so DON’T book these the same day, I’d do character breakfast early on your first full day….you’ll wake up early with the time change and the dinner on whichever night you AREN’T doing the luau)Already dreaming of booking another trip here.

We LOVED the character breakfast (so many unique local food offerings) and the Disney Team treated us to the prix fix dinner our first night here….I can’t even begin to explain what a lovely experience it was.  Killer cocktails, a GREAT kids’ menu and I had the best Ahi of my life.Now swipe all the way to end for an appearance from Vacation Robbie.  We love to see it.And place your votes…..pick ONE treat.
Five years ago. This exact place. Robbie had jus Five years ago.  This exact place.  Robbie had just finished two years of grad school.  And it had been a long, tough two years.  That year involved one major teacher strike in my district, many many many jobs and gigs for both of us, minimal time off together, a whole lot of unknowns and a whole lot of stress.The Disney and Aulani team probably had no idea that they were giving us the gift of much needed peaceful time together when they invited us on a trip to this magical place.  A trip that….to be honest, was beyond our means at the time.  We cherished every moment. A lot has happened since then.  A move, buying a house, seeing those years of hard work pay off.  And now….we did it.  We’re back.  Lazy river here we come. TLDR? If you’re in the thick of it, I see you.  We’ve been there. Family, Welcome Home……we did it.  Aulani for the week.
Now, if I’m being totally honest…..this pulled Now, if I’m being totally honest…..this pulled muscle? I should have known better.  When training for my race, I didn’t stretch or warm up enough most days and….here we are.Lesson learned.  I’m 4 weeks post race (do not recommend running a 10k on a pulled muscle) and I’m……almost better.  I’m learning to stretch and walk and to take better care of myself so that I can start running again REALLY soon (we’re almost there I think).For now? I’m doing recovery walks and trying to strengthen my leg.  And trying to make sure I get enough protein.  When I talked about Built Bars on my stories, a LOTTTTT of you raced about their Puffs.  Yup, I get it.  They’re AMAZING.  I’ve been bringing them along on my walks (and gluten free friends….they have some great options for us).Have you ever pulled a muscle? What was recovery like for you?#youGOTTAtrythis #BUILTProtein #BUILT #BUILTbar partner
💕Double Tap when you see who we found at the zo 💕Double Tap when you see who we found at the zoo (and swipe to the end for a close up)⠀⠀🌴Coming to San Diego for Spring Break or a Summer Vacation?⠀⠀📍Let’s talk San Diego Zoo (and yes, I got off a plane yesterday, picked up Lydia and we spent the afternoon at the zoo…..it was LOVELY).⠀⠀A few things to help you plan visits to San Diego and the Zoo:⠀1️⃣ the San Diego Zoo and Safari Park are NOT close together.  The Zoo is close to downtown, the Safari Park is about 25 miles north.  I’d suggest one day at each.  They’re totally unique and both worth a visit.  The Safari Park is smaller, but has REALLY unique exhibits (Walkabout Australia is my favorite).⠀2️⃣ both have some really fun and unique dining experiences that you can reserve in advance: Albert’s at the Zoo is a FANCY and fun sit down option, and The Watering Hole at Kijamii Overlook at the Safari Park is great for happy hour or a fun lunch ⠀3️⃣ there are great kids play areas at both locations, the Wildlife Explorers Base Camp area at the San Diego Zoo is brand new and absolutely amazing⠀⠀✨ Now, a bonus tip.  Undercover Tourist now has NATIONWIDE savings on over 500 attractions in 50 cities and up to 25% on tickets for theme parks, zoo, museums, aquariums, city tours, water parks, and movie tickets. And the deals they have for San Diego?  AMAZING (I’m sharing details in my stories).⠀⠀@themeparkfrog #UncoverSavingsNationwide #ad
