Amazing workout shorts

Lululemon Speed Up Shorts have quickly become a staple in my workout wardrobe, and for good reason. These shorts strike the perfect balance between comfort, style, and functionality.

Best running shorts!

Love these running shorts. The way they slightly flare eliminates chafing. The pocket can hold a phone and the drawstring is a great feature.

My favorite shorts!!

I love the Speed Ups especially in the Mid Rise! Lululemon please, please bring back the MR 4” in all colors!! I have over 20 pairs of Speed Ups and wear them daily. The style and the fit are perfect. I think these shorts have such a classic look and the 4” is great! Not too short and not too long. The style of these shorts really elongates your legs especially for us petite ladies. Definitely a must have!

The short that will support you going the long distance—we're so glad our Speed Up Mid-Rise Lined Short 4" is providing a five-star fit.

Just right

These are the best shorts! I love placement of the zippered pocket…. I’ve tried other shorts where the zipper is on the side so my keys bang into my leg when i walk or run. These are comfortable and just the right length. I think i have 5 pairs!
