Hi! Looking into buying resistance band leggings. Anyone here ever tried them before? Thoughts?
Anyone tried Resistance band leggings? E.g. Sweetflex or Agogie?

@zealous_heiress Very interested to hear opinions. I’d never heard of them before and had to Google.

@zealous_heiress I finally cracked and bought some, I hope to return with positive feedback!
@truckerjack56 But they say Yale research but it’s misleading, it’s not peer reviewed, there’s no peer reviewed journals from Yale university on this or any other peer reviewed source. So whatever Yale they’re referring to has no statistical evidence anywhere that I could find! They’re just masquerading under the prestigious and well known name “Yale” with no connections to Yale at all!
@truckerjack56 How are you liking yours now?

@zealous_heiress They’re here! They actually don’t look too bad and I can feel the resistance (got 8 bands) but it’s not uncomfortable. Can’t wait to get walking today 
I’ll report back in a few weeks

@oldwatchman I’ve had them for a couple of weeks now and they do work! I will say you probably need to be active (walk and move a lot) to really feel the difference. I walk about 6 miles a day between treadmill and life, I’ve felt sore enough that I take a day off from them after after a super active day. I think they’re worth it

@zealous_heiress I got Skinnify, which hopefully I don’t regret going for the bargain. I’m ready to take before and after pictures, can’t wait until they come 
@truckerjack56 So, my skinnify's arrived today. I went for about a 48 minute walk 1.67miles, nothing too strenuous, but according to my fitbit I burned 242 calores. That seems higher to me with the skinnify's than without.

@zealous_heiress Only two days in and I can tell you they work! I walk a lot though (6-7 miles a day), wore them all day the past two days and my legs are sore, not crazy sore but I can feel it. Also, I’ve been dealing with some hip pain and it hasn’t acted up in the past two days, I wonder if they offer more support/use different muscles. They aren’t the cutest leggings but I don’t really leave the house anyway

@truckerjack56 That’s good to hear you like them!! I think I’ll get a pair too. Hope they’ll have some good deals for Black Friday! I don’t really care about looking good on them.. I’m past the cute gym girl era
@zealous_heiress How did they work for you? I’m SOOOO tempted to buy but feel nervous by the negative comments/reviews
@zealous_heiress Hi! Any update with the leggings?
@zealous_heiress How have they held up these past 2 months?
@truckerjack56 Are they hot? Do you feel like you're suffocating in them. I'm in FL, and u can't stand hot clothing or feeling like I can breathe in my tummy. Also, is there coverage for our lady bits, or is it right out there? .lol Some leggings have a panel etc.
@zealous_heiress Skinnify. I have to 4 bands got them for Christmas I wear them almost everyday. They work but I am also trying to watch my calorie intake and work out. I have lost 3 pounds since Christmas. I am still eating not healthy and losing weight so I know they are making me burn more calories. They aren’t magic you’re not going to lose weight by magic but my muscles feel it and still do everyday. The foot strap is not the most comfortable. And I have hip and lower back pain that I don’t have when I wear them. I wake up with it, but put on my leggings and it slowly goes away. I feel like they somehow improve my posture. I’m in my early 40’s 5’7” and my weight was 151 I am wearing a size medium. And as of today weigh 146.6
