High Waisted Gym Leggings

High waisted gym leggings are a great option for accentuating your curves and your shape. They are cut in a way which appears to slim the waist, and therefore increases the shape of your hips and your behind. This doesn’t necessarily make your bum look bigger, but it does make it look more prominent, especially in comparison to your controlled waistline.

Compression

Gym leggings offer some form of compression to help to keep them in place when working out. The compression material helps to prevent them being see through, prevents them from slipping or riding down and ensures your flexibility isn’t restricted during your workout. This compression in your gym leggings also helps to keep everything in place, so your tummy is held in, your joints and muscles are protected. It can also help to prevent the onset of doms (delayed onset muscle soreness), as circulation is improved. Sometimes, people find that this also encourages your bottom to be lifted. Similarly to the waistline, it is lifted and held; preventing any wobbling. So, although it does not make your bum bigger, it can help to make it look more lifted and pert.

Scrunch Bum Leggings

Scrunch bum leggings help to further accentuate your bottom. The rouched material between your cheeks can help to make your bum look more lifted and rounder. It can help to make it bigger, so if that’s the look you desire, these can be a great option.

Illusions

In the same way that a push-up bra can give you a bigger cleavage, it doesn’t affect the size of your boobs. Gym leggings can work to highlight areas of your body and make the most of your feminine shape, and this is something to be embraced and proud of, as opposed to shy away from because your butt looks bigger.

Confidence

Ultimately, the most important thing is that your gym leggings are comfortable to wear and to exercise in. However, it is also important that you feel good and confident in them. You want to be the best you can be, and that means feeling good, not only about how you can move and knowing that your leggings won’t fall down or become see-through, but also about how you look; wear your gym leggings with confidence and you’ll feel the difference in motivation to work out.
