Compression leggings might be the most versatile outfit in your wardrobe. You can wear them under a silk dress, by themselves, when you're running errands, or when you're out on the town. And wearing your compression leggings for workouts may be the best use of all.

Whether you've just started working out, or it's always been there for you, you'll know that small things can make a big difference. What you eat, how you prepare, even how much you sleep, can all affect your workouts.

This includes what you wear. If you're not convinced of that, try working out in your jeans - or your pajamas. Compression leggings can help you improve workouts in many ways.

How Compression Leggings Improve Your Workouts

Before you even begin your workout, putting on your compression leggings helps you get in the zone, makes you feel like working out, and, of course, they look great, which can give you even more motivation. And that's just one benefit of wearing compression leggings for workouts.

1. Support for Your Legs

   Compression leggings help support your muscles and reduce the added stress on them as you move. The result is your muscles get the full benefit of the workout.
   
   

2.  Increased Circulation

   During a workout, your muscles, tendons and bone structure are being asked to perform at a higher level. They need more fresh oxygen delivered, and more waste products removed, to make that happen. Compression wear supports blood and lymph circulation to improve your workout.
   
   

3. Faster Recovery

   The stress your muscles go through during a workout can trigger your body to send fluids and white blood cells to the area. The swelling that results, and the build-up of lactic acid can contribute to muscle fatigue and soreness after your workout.
   
   Compression leggings, including Active Slim Compression Leggings from The Black Purple, help prevent fluid buildup and help your muscles recover faster.
