Hot Mama- Part Deux (Zaggora CapriFlares reivew} #hotinhotpants

 

Here we are at the end of March. I don’t know about you, but the year is already racing along! Spring is just around the corner, at least here in my area, but my mind is already looking months ahead for summer. I always kind of consider Spring the “get ready” season. Get ready for summer and swimsuits and shorts and less clothing! This summer I am going to be doing baby swim classes with my little munchkin, so I plan to be spending quite a bit of time at the pool. And you know what that means… wanting to look good in that swimsuit! Now, if you are like me, you are always happy to have ANY advantage against the battle of the (mommy) belly bulge. If you remember a few months ago, I talked about a “secret weapon” I was using to get ready for holiday parties and my trip to Mexico. You can read about that here. I am excited to share that Zaggora, the same great company that introduced me to Hot Pants…aka, my secret weapon, has come out with some new additions to their line of sweat inducing, cellulite burning, thigh, tummy and hip sculpting pants. They are Flares and Capri Flares. I was generously given my choice of the two to try and I went with the Capri Flares.  Zaggora is based in England and hit the market this past July. Their products are designed to help you loose inches and also to decrease the appearance of cellulite. There is a 2 week challenge that the company issues to all who get these.  Lose 2 jean sizes in 2 weeks, doing the same routine, eating the same diet but wearing the product while you work out. Here’s the scoop on how these Hot babies work!

Now for the disclaimer: This next part will be brutally honest! (Don’t say I didn’t warn ya!) :-)

Knowing how Hot Pants work, I was super excited to get these babies on and get moving. I had some surgery in January, which put me out for about 6 weeks. As a result, I lost a little bit of the results I worked so hard for before a trip to Mexico in January. A little softer in the tummy, a couple pounds, a little more top on the muffin… ya know what I mean? I have been aching to get rid of all that, so this was just the ticket to get me really movin’ again! I love the fit of the Capri Flares. They come up high on the tummy, so that gets included too, and hit just above mid-calf. The first time I worked out in them, boy…. If I was sweatin’ before, it was nothing to this. It was literally running down my legs into my shoes! (I warned you!) Now, for some of you, sweat may be about the grossest thing in the world.  But I have just come to accept it as the price for a great workout and even better results! Just be prepared to sweat!… A LOT…. Nuff said!! :-) I didn’t change my eating habits at all, and I worked out 4 days the first week and 5 days the second week. I wore them from morning to before bed, through the workout, then put on my other Hot Pants while I washed the Capri Flares. These pants are special, kind of like wetsuit material, so they must be washed on the hand wash cycle and dried without heat. After two weeks of wearing them, here are the results: I’m down 1.25″ in my hips and 1″ in my waist. I didn’t loose anything on my thighs, but I didn’t gain anything back from before. (I kept my measurements from the previous time!) And if that isn’t enough, I have a pair of jeans that were fitting great before the surgery but were getting tight again. :-( I tried them on the day I started the challenge, yes they were t-i-g-h-t, and then tried them on again this morning… HOORAY! They are have some room in them again! (And NO! I hadn’t washed them right before I tried them on the first time!):-)  I am so excited! Now, results do vary, but I am so happy and I know they will work for you! These are my honest opinions. I didn’t receive any compensation from the company, other than the Capri Flares. I’ve already been telling people about these. My Sis got two pairs LOVES them!! These Capri Flares are  Real Mom Recommended and I cannot wait to continue wearing them! These are just the ticket for any summer vaca’s coming up, weddings… hhmm, maybe your own perhaps, ( sure wish I’d had me some Zaggora clothing before my wedding!), or if you just want to look good at the pool or in your summer clothes! THANK YOU Zaggora!

Currently Zaggora only sells online, but I’ve seen on their Facebook page they are planning on coming to the US soon! There are also tons of other testimonials to check out on their FB page! And for even more fun, follow them on twitter.
