How does easytone clothing work

But do they really work? I laced up a pair and wore them around the house this week for a few hours at a time. The result: wow!

I could feel my muscles engaged with each step, and I have proof: my calves actually flexed a bit--in noticeable ways--as I went about my day. Fellow Americans, I know you want your exercise to be effortless, but but there's effortless and there's literally standing still holding a wiggle stick.

Thighmaster has to be the classic, right? The porn element, the dubious science, the suggestion you can do it while watching TV, and the celebrity plug. The good ol' Thighmaster claimed to give you "great legs!

And look! It apparently gives Suzanne Somers an orgasm, too. It's amazing America still has an obesity problem. Ooh, more ladies having sex!

I mean, using another piece of exercise equipment. Not to me. I needed a second opinion. I enlisted the help of a local Philly native, mom of one adorable toddler, and roller-derby badass, Megan Abrams. I made her my guinea pig for the day, trying out the gear during a real outdoor workout.

So we wrestled her into the pants and tank top, and it was pretty much the same deal. Her verdict: She looked awesome, she felt tight, and she absolutely does not believe that these clothes will help her build muscle faster. She equated the feeling to wearing a really good girdle and liked that the shirts made her feel like she was standing up straighter.

Fila claims the special fabric compresses muscles, providing 41 percent more support than traditional athletic leggings. Hurtack, Savoy and Carothers all like them and plan to continue wearing them, even outside of the gym. Absolutely not. She also said athletes have been using this compression technology for years.
