Work, Gym & On The Go Essentials
My #1 for gym, WFH and everyday. The Sweaty Betty Power Leggings are the only ones I find truly bum-sculpting but not see-through over 40. High-waisted, supportive for workouts but comfortable enough to wear all day for work. I live in these! Also lo...
My go-to for work, gym & comfort! These Power Shorts don't ride up, hold everything in but aren't tight, and look smart enough for work with a long tee/shirt. I live in these at home too. True to size, I take size Large. Over 40 tummy friendly!

Gymshark Whitney Regular Legging - Black
The best leggings in the world as far as I'm concerned - I just ultimately love them! They have a high price tag but do last season after season.

They wear and wear an...
