The Best Workout Pants for a Pear Shape Body

It's definitely workout season…….and we all are on the search for the BEST WORKOUT PANTS.  After 8 months of testing, I'm sharing the best workout pants for a pear shape body!

Looking for the best workout pants for a pear shape body! These are the five top pairs, from budget to luxury workout wear!

I know, I know.  We all have workout wear on the brain.  After months of cookies, cocktails, and you know……celebrating……I feel like the whole world has vowed to get healthy.  Gyms are full, we're all trying new workout classes (I'm on a total Orange Theory Fitness kick)…..and sometimes, having a great workout outfit is the only thing that gets me moving.  

Here's the issue with workout pants for a pear shape body.  The best ones? Have enough give to workout in, fit hips and thighs, and don't stretch out mid workout.  Bonus points? The best workout pants are actually flattering.

After trying over 20 pairs of workout pants…….I'm sharing my top five picks for the best workout pants!

How To Dress for A Pear Shape: Workout Pants

Looking for the best workout pants for a pear shape body?!? I love these AERIE leggings!

AERIE MOVE HIGH WAISTED LEGGING  (size Large, $44): I know, I know……I talk about these workout pants all the time.  They're THAT good.  I own them in about a million prints.  They fit like a dream, wash and wear well, and I've worn them for casual daywear with a sweatershirt as well.

If you're looking for the best workout pants for a pear shape body......these printed leggings by Fabletics are a KILLER price!

FABLETICS POWERLIGHT GIA CAPRI (size Large, 2 for $24 with VIP Membership): These are a recent find, and they fit amazingly well.  Each month they release fun, new prints and they're a KILLER price.  I love that they're high waisted enough to hold everything in.

On the search for running tights? These are the BEST workout pants for a pear shape....and are perfect for long runs!

RUNNING GIRL HIGH WAISTED RUNNING LEGGINGS (size Large, $17.99): Who'd have thought? Stellar fitting running tights for under $20.  I found these on Amazon, by reading buyer reviews.  And honestly? They're worth a million dollars.  They fit like a dream, stretch perfectly and are GREAT for longer runs.  No rubbing, and they come in a bunch of fun colors.

Are you part of the Zella leggings cult? They're some of the BEST workout pants for a pear shape body, and fit like a dream!

ZELLA HIGH WAIST LEGGINGS (size Large, $54 – $59): These are the holy grail of workout pants.  They're the BEST WORKOUT PANTS I've ever worn.  I even did a full on review of them (you can read it HERE).  I couldn't believe they were as great as everyone said.  They are.  Fit perfectly.  High waisted enough to stay put over large hips.  Come in a ton of fun colors.  Worth every penny.

On the search for basic, neutral workout gear? These are the best workout pants for a pear shape!

JOCKEY ACTIVE JUDO LEGGING (size Large, $21): I teamed up with Jockey to do an instagram post last month.  And was blown away by how much I liked these leggings.  They're a great price, a little thinner fabric, perfect workout pants for outdoor workouts in warmer weather.  I love that they're a great neutral color.

    I love the AERIE MOVE HIGH WAISTED LEGGING – actually, they are all nice. I’ve never paid more than a few dollars for leggings from discount stores. I’m missing out. I’d love to try these, and they look terrific on you.

    I am definitely going to order a pair from Fabletics. I’ve had a membership for a couple years, and it’s been a while since I’ve treated myself to workout outfit!

    I really appreciate your research and I M going to order a few of those right now! I have such an issue with the waist being too big if the hips fit just right. Im shaped just like you but one size bigger. Wish me luck!

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.
🌴🌺Postcards from Aulani: the Food and Charac 🌴🌺Postcards from Aulani: the Food and Characters are the Best🌺🌴(if you could only pick one of these treats, what would it be?!?)🌺 Mickey Masubi from the Ulu Cafe🌴minnie red velvet waffles (character breakfast at Makahiki)🌺 aulani special from the coffee cart (available each morning until 10:30 am)🌴olu rice crispy treat from the Ulu CafeFav meals so far (ha) were both at Makahiki.  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
