Lenny Kravitz explains why he works out in leather pants

Lenny Kravitz says his unusual workout wardrobe makes perfect sense to him. In an interview with Men's Health published July 14, the 62-year-old told the magazine he wears leather pants while training because he also performs onstage in leather and denim.

Kravitz said the choice also gives him flexibility to fit in exercise “anytime, anywhere.” He added that he does not rely on a fitness watch to track progress, instead using his 28-inch waist as a guide.

“The pants don't lie,” he said, adding that if his pants feel tighter, he knows he is getting out of shape. Kravitz said he is happy with how he looks, though he feels he could still build up his legs a little more.

Fans took notice after he posted a clip in April 2024 showing him lifting weights in leather pants, a mesh shirt and wraparound sunglasses. He later explained to Variety that he saves jeans or leather pants for weight training, while choosing sweats for cardio workouts.
