Lenny Kravitz says there’s an entirely logical reason why he works out at the gym in leather trousers: “I can fit in a workout anytime, anywhere”
Two years back Lenny Kravitz sent the internet into a frenzy when he shared a workout video of him dressed in his classic attire combo of combat boots, a mesh vest, sunglasses and leather pants.
Now 62, it seems Kravitz isn’t ditching the leather trousers when exercising anytime soon, and he’s now explained why he does it. Not just about looking cool, his peculiar choice of workout clothing is tied to his performance stamina – sort of like how Beyoncé sings while on a treadmill.

Speaking to Men’s Health, he explains, “I perform onstage in leather, denim, whatever, so those are the pants I wear to train. It also means I can fit in a workout anytime, anywhere.
“I can gauge everything by how I’m in my pants,” he adds. “Like, if my pants are a little tight, I know I’m getting outta’ shape. My friend Denzel Washington gave me this phrase, ‘The pants don’t lie, the pants don’t lie.’”
Thank God for today! Grateful. Never been better. There are no shortcuts so seize your day. It is all possible. Love! pic.twitter.com/BHqQ63oNOt

In more recent Kravitz news, he spoke to Guitar World earlier this year about why he remains unconvinced by digital emulations and guitar gear tech advances.
Asked whether he could recreate the sound of his classic albums using modern gear, Kravitz replied: “It ain’t the same, man. It really isn’t the same. I A/B test everything, and while technology has come a long way and some things are very close, they’re just not close enough.
“Plus, there is the effect of the accumulation of one thing on top of the other, one old piece combined with something else vintage,” he says. “It begins to build up a sound that modern equipment can’t reproduce. Just look at old guitars – the age of the wood, you know? That’s something almost indefinable.”
