Workout Sets: The Best for Women with Curves

This post may contain affiliate links. Purchasing through them helps support this website. This post may also contain items gifted for consideration.

Looking for the best workout sets for women with curves? These are my tried and true sets of leggings and workout tops at every price point!

From running to riding the spin bike we bought back in May to strength training (my newest favorite exercise) or the family neighborhood walks we take a lot lately……I feel like workout sets are all I wear.  For me? I look for a couple simple things…….stress, good support on top, and function.  Do they hold up well to actual exercise?  Do they last well when washed? And…..do I feel great wearing them?

I'm going to repeat……working out should be fun, and some thing that is empowering.  Not uncomfortable and not a punishment.  So, pick clothes that make it fun.

These are a few of my favorites:

Workout Sets: The Best for Women with Curves

Zella

Looking for great workout sets and basics? These are some GREAT options at every price point!

Honestly? I heard people talk about Zella leggings for years…..and I doubted they were worth the hype.  Were they really worth the money? I actually did a full Zella leggings review, and let me tell you…..YES, they're great.  I own them in a shorter, yoga pant version as well as the full length leggings.  And, highly recommend.  I wear a large in Zella leggings, and a medium in their tops and sports bras. And bonus? They're regularly on sale.

Old Navy

Looking for the best workout sets for women with curves? These are my tried and true sets of leggings and workout tops at every price point!

Old Navy is a mainstay in my wardrobe, and their workout sets are no exception.  They make GREAT medium level compression leggings, have a killer size range, and usually have kids workout wear in case you want to coordinate with your kiddos…..plus Old Navy prices are stellar.  I own a couple of their limited release sets, and then a bunch of their regular ongoing collection.  I love their black compression leggings for running (and wear a size large) and they have great sports bras with a variety of support levels.

Aerie

On the hunt for bargain workout sets? These are some of the BEST options!

Now, you guys know I love Aerie.  From their body positive outlook, to their great prices, to their great fitting workout sets.  I love that they come in fun prints (they're always limited edition so if you see a print you love, snag it) and that they have high waisted options as well crossover waisted leggings (that are MEGA flattering).   I will say, their sports bras are usually light to medium support.  But, for yoga or lower impact activities? They're perfect!

Girlfriend

Girlfriend is another one of those is it work the internet hype workout sets that I was dying to try.  They're ecofriendly (their gear is made partially out of recycled water bottles) and come in the most fun colors.  But did they fit well? I grabbed their leggings and a sports bra in tart (a fun bright orange color) over the holidays….and I have to say, I LOVE THEM.  The pants are a great fit for me, and I love how high waisted they are.  And the sports bra? Great support for a nonpadded bra.  I wear the pants in a large and the sports bra in a medium.  And the best part? They have two inseam options, and range from an XXS to a 6X.

Core 10

If you haven't tried Core 10 workout sets yet, you're missing out.  This Amazon exclusive brand as a total cult following and it's easy to see why.  Their leggings fit like a DREAM and they're an amazing price and I love the fun pairings they have (like this ruffled set). These are lower support sports bras, and no compression leggings.  I'd highly suggest for yoga or even jogging or spinning.

Workout Sets for Women with Curves: This set from Core 10 is a KILLER price and available with prime shipping!

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
In high school, I wasn’t supposed to cross the b In high school, I wasn’t supposed to cross the bridge without permission.⠀⠀I grew up about 20 minutes from San Francisco, on the OTHER side of the Golden Gate Bridge.  Yes, you know that opening scene in Full House where they’re driving across the bridge? I was on the other side of that.  And one of MOST parents’ rules where I grew up? No going into the city without permission.  Sorry mom and dad, it’s been long enough…..now I can disclose that we broke that rule constantly.⠀⠀San Francisco is my favorite city.  It’s intimate and moody and filled with history and some of the best food in the world.  It reminds me of childhood trips to the zoo and Golden Gate Park, it reminds me of my first apartment after college and my first serious relationship.  It reminds me of 22 year old carefree nights with friends and milkshakes at Mels in high school and coffee in North Beach and nights in the Marin Headlands (the closest we were supposed to get to the bridge).⠀⠀So when I had the opportunity to spend 20 hours in my city by the Bay? I took it.⠀⠀Photo Diary:⠀1) nothing like a hotel room to yourself ⠀2) basically drove through a monsoon in San Diego yesterday to make it to the airport⠀3) through the fog? You can see the Golden Gate Bridge⠀4) SFO ⠀5) drove right through North Beach where my mom lived until she was 2, and texted her this photo of a church where she remembers going to weddings as a child⠀6) dinner with Dove, talking about the importance of diversity and representation in gaming avatars ⠀7 and 8) anyone else got a roblox fan in their house? Dove is changing the game (pun intended) and we love to see it.⠀⠀Have you been to San Francisco?
