These leggings come well over the hips and can rise as high as your lower ribs. There are several different fits of
sport leggings high waist, with some coming in roll down styles so you can choose where the leggings fit.
Read on to find out why they are so popular.
Tummy Control
The most apparent benefit of women's high waisted gym leggings is that they help to keep your tummy under control. Because the waistline sits high over your hips, you don’t get the unpleasant effect of being cut in the middle. This often only serves to highlight every drop of fat you have on your stomach. Instead, you have a single piece of fabric that lays over the whole of your stomach. This serves to evenly pull in your stomach without producing any disconcerting bulges.
The support on your stomach can hide the big lunch you had. It also serves as a gentle reminder to keep your core engaged while you are working out.
Elongated Legs
When the waistline of the leggings comes higher up your core, this makes your legs look longer. If you are doing a barre workout, there is no better feeling, then looking in the mirror and seeing your legs looking long and graceful.
Focus on Your Narrowest Point
High waisted leggings come in a couple of different fits. This means that you can choose the style that fits your body best. The ideal waistline is one that stops at your narrowest point. If you pair these leggings with a cropped top, this will draw the eye to your thinnest point. The whole effect is great for boosting your confidence. It means you can show off a little bit of your abs even if you haven’t managed to rid yourself of every drop of body fat, to sculpt a six-pack.
Comfort
Because the waistband on these leggings sits high on your waist, it means that the panel across your stomach lies flat. It makes for a really comfortable pair of high rise gym leggings. You don’t have to worry about getting that bright red band that cuts across your middle when you have a narrow band on your leggings.
Confidence
For most women, their stomach is one of the places on their body that they have a lot of anxiety about. It can be hard to feel confident in the gym or out in the world when you are worried about your waistline. Having a great pair of high waisted running leggings can give you a real boost of confidence. Whether you need the support or not, it can be comforting knowing it’s there. That confidence can drive you to have an even better workout.
