Aolesy Men's 5" Gym Workout Shorts
These are the shorts I reach for every single day—whether I’m hitting the gym, heading to the beach, or just walking the streets of Phuket. The Aolesy Men’s 5" Workout Shorts are lightweight, breathable, and built to move. They dry quickly (huge win in humid weather), and the fit is spot on—tailored but not tight.
What I really love are the smart details: the zip pockets keep my phone and keys secure, and the built-in towel loop is something I didn’t know I needed until I had it. They look good enough to wear out casually, but perform like true training gear. If you’re a traveler, a minimalist, or just someone who appreciates well-designed fitness apparel, these are a solid addition to your kit.
I have a titanium tibia and fibula in my left leg and underwent extensive knee surgery on my right. At 40, I’ve racked up more than my fair share of mileage—and “jewelry.” For me, having the right fitness gear isn’t about style points. It’s about staying functional, pain-free, and moving well.
Whether I’m training on a beach in Thailand or squeezing in a bodyweight session in a hotel room, I’ve learned that the right gear makes all the difference—especially after 40. This isn’t about hype or trends. It’s about comfort, function, and longevity.
The products on this page are what I actually wear and travel with. Moisture-wicking shirts. Supportive shorts. Compression and recovery gear that moves with me and holds up on the road.
If you’re over 40 and looking to stay strong, flexible, and comfortable —these essentials are a great place to start.
