I know I am not in the best shape...but these pants made me look ten times WORSE. The reason they're so cheap is that they're made of very thin t-shirt material. You can literally almost see through it if you hold it up to the light. There is no redeeming feature about these pants, other than the color. Cellulute, which most women have at least some of, will be magnified in these horrible, cheesy pants.  I didn't return them, thinking I could wear them around the house to do chores...but then I didn't want my husband to see how cheesy they made my bottom half look!!!!! Ladies, do yourself a favor: spend more money and get some thicker, better-quality workout pants. You'll feel better and look better.
