Brighten Up and Get Outside With Our May Must Haves

When I'm doing a WOD or out searching for a runner's high, the last thing I want is to be bothered by barely there shorts that ride up with every rep or step. The Athleta Ready Set Short ($49) has me covered — literally. With a more "generous" fit, four-inch inseam, and built-in liner, I never feel overexposed, even if I'm doing squats, handstand push-ups, or deadlifts. The buttery-soft performance fabric is stretchy and comfy and will also keep you cool — no matter how much you sweat. I also like the slimming waistband with drawstring and zippered back pocket.
