Lenny Kravitz raised eyebrows in 2024 when he shared a viral video of himself working out in leather pants. Now at 62 years old, the singer is revisiting the revelation, confirming that he still sticks to his preferred workout clothing while pumping iron, and he has a practical reason for doing so. Kravitz also talked about being in the best shape of his life, while also admitting there’s still one part of his physique he’d like to improve.

Lenny Kravitz’s Leather Pants Help Keep Him In Shape

Lenny Kravitz is known for his signature style, blending vintage pieces with his rock-and-roll persona. He’s often seen onstage wearing leather pants, and while they certainly make a statement, they aren’t exactly known for their comfort, especially when worn during workouts. However, that’s exactly what the Grammy award-winning singer does.

Kravitz has a practical reason for doing so, as he said he could simply fit in some gym time when he’s not on the stage performing. Moreover, he uses his pants, leather or jeans, as a fitness gauge. “I perform onstage in leather, denim, whatever, so those are the pants I wear to train,” he told Men’s Health.

The singer wears 28-inch pants, and when some areas feel tighter, he knows it’s time to get in shape. Kravitz shared a saying Denzel Washington told him that he lives by: “The pants don’t lie, the pants don’t lie.”

In 2024, Kravitz shared a video of himself weight-training in a tank top, leather pants, and boots. The clip went viral, with many commenting on his preferred choice of workout clothing.

“My man never breaks character. Full-time rock star,” one user noted, with another adding, “Reasons why I haven’t started working out: 1. I don’t own any leather pants.”

Even fellow celebrities weighed in, with Wiz Khalifa noting he needed better gym outfits, and Arsenio Hall saying that seeing Kravitz’s post made his back hurt.

Kravitz addressed the viral clip in an interview with Variety, in which he said he doesn’t work out in leather pants “for effect.” “A lot of times I’m coming from somewhere or I’m going somewhere. And I just don’t care. I’m gonna pop in, I’ve got 45 minutes we’re gonna hit it and I’m gonna go run to where I’m going,” he said.

However, he only wears leather pants for weight training. When it comes to cardio, Kravitz wears sweats instead, knowing he’ll be perspiring heavily.

Lenny Kravitz Doesn’t Want To Be Bulky

The singer has been with the same trainer, Dodd Romero, for almost three decades. Romero helps keep Kravitz in shape and has also been instrumental in healing his past physical injuries. Now, his trainer designs specific programs to help him maintain his physique.

Kravitz said his goal isn’t to bulk up. “I want a very narrow silhouette, more like Spider-Man meets Bruce Lee, you know what I mean? Bruce Lee looked good in clothes,” he said. While he’s quite happy with his body, he shared that there’s one area he’d like to improve.

“I gotta fill out my legs a little bit,” Kravitz said, noting that Romero is working on that by adding more deadlifts and lunges to his workout routine.

Kravitz’s first meal daily is usually after 3 or 4 p.m., but it isn’t intentional. “It’s not because I’m trying to intermittent fast; it’s just the way I am,” he said, adding that he can’t eat immediately after waking.

He is used to having a low-carb diet and opts for mostly raw and vegan foods. However, he also enjoys eggs. In addition, he consumes protein shakes and supplements. Romero reveals that Kravitz wasn’t always a disciplined eater, sharing that he used to indulge in pizza, fried chicken, and Taco Bell.

Nowadays, Kravitz rarely treats himself to a cheat meal, but when he does, his choices include pasta or bread. In Romero’s opinion, the singer is in the best shape of his life.
