Getting fit is something that was on many of our New Year’s resolutions this year, but getting yourself to the gym can be hard if you’re not motivated. If you need some serious #WorkoutInspo this time of year, we recommend adding some new workout clothes to your wardrobe–because really, what better way to get motivated than by treating yourself to a shopping spree, right?

One of our favorite things to workout in when the weather begins to turn are cropped leggings. They have less material and give you a little more breathing room, all while keeping you stylish, too! And, as always, cropped leggings are soft, comfortable, and stretchy making them perfect for almost any type of workout.

So whether you plan on doing yoga, Zumba or spinning, a great pair of cropped leggings will help you achieve your weight loss goals for spring and summer. Here are our top picks for the best cropped leggings and they’re all under $50!

Looking for more leggings? We found the best patterned leggings under $50 at SheFinds.com
