Comfort is my number one priority when it comes to workout clothes, and these Under Armour Women's UA Speedpocket Shorts ($50) have become my new favorite for running, strength training, rowing, walking, hiking — everything! They are so unbelievably lightweight and comfortable, I hardly feel like I'm wearing anything. I never have to adjust them so I can focus 100 percent of my energy on pushing hard during my workout. Ahead, see photos of these shorts and learn which features make them worth the $50.

In the front, there's a larger pocket that can hold a phone. Bonus: it is water-resistant and keeps the phone secure without bouncing. I can even have my music on speakerphone (I run in the woods, and it feels safer than wearing earbuds), and I can hear perfectly. I also like that I can take out my phone and put it back easily, which isn't the case with zippered running belts.
