Even though leggings get workout love year-round, it's tempting to seek out a little less fabric when temperatures rise. And, while there are plenty of moisture-wicking tops and bottoms of all lengths, it's also hard to beat shorts in the heat. Since summer's in full swing, and our fitness plans have us both indoors and out, we found the best athletic shorts in stock at Old Navy from slim-fitting ones for bikes to roomer cargo picks for hikes. A key difference in these styles is the length, so we've rounded up the 14 best pairs from shortest to longest ahead to make shopping for your favourite fit even easier.
