With summer temperatures looking like they’re here to stay, it might be worth adding a pair of high-waist shorts to your workout wardrobe. 

While leggings always have their place, they may not be the most weather-appropriate pieces to wear on your runs or for super sweaty HIIT sessions during the heatwave. 

Thousands of Amazon shoppers have hailed the IUGA Yoga Shorts a practical alternative, with many calling them the ‘perfect workout shorts’ and ‘the most comfortable workout shorts ever’. Not only are they high-waisted, moisture-wicking and non-see-through, they’re super affordable too, now on sale from just £9.95.

Finding a pair of reliable exercise shorts that will see you through the sweatiest of workouts is a no-mean feat, so it pays to go by recommendations. 

And according to over 7,900 Amazon shoppers, the IUGA Yoga Shorts are the best of the best. It’s no wonder then that these have secured the number one bestseller spot for Women’s Exercise and Fitness Shorts on Amazon. 

Scoring points for performance, comfort and fit, these will give you a premium experience but at a seriously enticing price point. 

Made out of a super soft and stretchy polyester and elastane blend, the shorts are the perfect mix of comfort and performance. Thanks to the clever four-way stretch, you’ll be able to run, walk, lunge and squat with ease – and without showing your knickers. 

Better still, the IUGA Workout Shorts have a high-rise waistband that has a tummy control feature so you’ll feel supported and look streamlined whilst working out.

Despite the super affordable price tag, the shorts are designed with two large pockets – a feature that is often left out of cheaper models. The pockets are plenty big enough to carry your phone in whilst you’re out for a run, while the smaller hidden waistband pocket is great for carrying your key or card.  

You don’t have to be an exercise enthusiast to appreciate the style of the shorts, either. Plenty of shoppers have found the shorts to be a great go-to for causal walks and lounging around the house.  

With a near-perfect average score of 4.7 out of 5, there is plenty of positives to find with the IUGA Yoga Shorts. In fact, many have been so surprised by the quality that they’ve likened them to more expensive brands, minus the price tag.

‘I always used to buy Sweaty Betty and Lululemon, but I’m so glad I gave these a go!’ raved one shopper. ‘Quality is fantastic. Really impressed, would buy more! Will probably try the leggings next too! I’m a size 12, ordered a M, perfect!’

Another shopper agreed, adding: ‘These shorts are honestly amazing. So comfortable and lightweight. I love the pockets and high waist. They don’t roll up at all – have used them in hiit classes and on runs. Not at all see-through or show sweat patches (I have the black ones).’

A third penned: ‘These are probably the most comfortable workout shorts I’ve ever had. They are a really soft fabric, but they’re a great thickness. 

‘I primarily want these for strength training, and I can confirm they are 100% squat proof!!’
