Zaggora HotPants REview

Messy Mama Amy here to tell you about a product that I am so excited about I could scream.  Zaggora HotPants are designed to make you sweat, and essentially lose a little extra weight, while doing normal activities that you do every day.  

There is a lot to these pants.  They  aren't just a stylish and comfortable asset to your workout gear.  I know there are other technologies out there to basically do the opposite of these pants that are pretty popular in the work out world.  You can get the moisture wicking clothing which is supposed to keep you dry.  These pants are made to get you soaked.  These pants are made to make you sweat like crazy.

"When Zaggora founder Dessi couldn’t find a product to help her get into shape for her wedding, she decided to make her own. A few years of research later, Zaggora’s signature Celu-Lite™ fabric technology was born."

"Dessi’s big idea became a reality with Zaggora’s first product, HotPants. They became our most iconic style and have sold more than half a million pairs in 126 countries in just two years."

"And now for the important part...

It’s no wonder 96% of women with Zaggora Hotwear feel they get a better workout.*

We put our Hotwear to the test to show you the science.

During 2011 and 2012, Zaggora commissioned research on Hotwear from ETScience, based at the University of Southern California, USA ("ETS Study")**, and from the Chelsea School of Sport, University of Brighton in the UK ("UB Study")***. Altogether, more than 120 women took part in the studies.

Our research shows that the use of a Zaggora top and bottom (“Zaggora Hotwear”) during exercise, at an appropriate level of intensity and while remaining well hydrated, may help to increase both body temperature generation and the rate of calorie burn.

During exercise

Both studies confirm that exercising in Zaggora Hotwear can increase calorie burn.

The UB Study tested 13 subjects in Zaggora HotPants and 13 in standard exercise clothing and found that exercising in HotPants can increase energy expenditure during exercise by an average of 11%.

The ETS Study first tested 30 subjects in Zaggora Hotwear and 30 subjects in standard exercise clothing and found that exercising in Zaggora Hotwear can lead to a statistically significant increase in energy expenditure as compared to standard exercise clothing: 6% on average and up to 18% depending on fitness level.

When testing a group of 10 subjects exercising at a constant speed, data revealed that subjects in Zaggora Hotwear burned 9.7% more calories than subjects in standard exercise clothing during 30 minutes of exercise

After exercise

The UB Study found that if Zaggora HotPants are worn in resting recovery after 30 minutes of exercise, they can lead to a 12.5% increase in energy expenditure in the 30-60 minutes after exercise.

Heart rate and exercise intensity

The ETS Study found that subjects exercising in Zaggora Hotwear had to exercise at a 3% lower speed and 23% lesser incline to achieve the same heart rate range as subjects exercising in standard exercise clothing.

Both the UB Study and the ETS Study found that while an increase in heat generated by the body did occur while wearing Zaggora Hotwear, exercising in it is safe since core body temperature does not exceed acceptable exercise induced elevations."

 Now, all of that is from Zaggora's website and not may opinion, that's because they explain it best with the studies they've done.  What do I think?  I think these pants are amazing!  I were these pants and did a little housework one night, yes I do clean every so often.  After wearing the Zaggora Hot Pants for about 30 minutes of just doing light house work, nothing heavy, I was sweating so much it was unreal.  I'm sure most of you know that housework can burn calories but do you know just how many?

One thing that I feel I must warn you about with these HotPants is the sound that they make when you wear them.  There is a swishing sound, maybe it's just me because my thighs rub together so mcuh.  I'm hoping after I wear these for the next couple of months that sound will go away, because my thighs won't rub together anymore.  Would I recommend the Zaggora HotPant?  Yes, I plan to get a couple pair myself.  Why do I plan to get more than one pair?  I love the Hotpants that I received however they have some really great styles out there.  I love the Atomica HotPants below.

I also want to get the Viva Capri™ Blue.

Oh, and Zaggora doesn't just have HotPants, they also a full range of Active Wear.  From Hot tops to Full Body Blazers.  The HotPants above are on my radar but not before the Full Body Blazer.  Please make sure you are staying hydrated when being active though.  You don't want to sweat out all of your hydration and get yourself sick or worse.
