Will Wearing These Tights Make You Burn Calories?

Can tights help you lose weight? The people at ShaToBu sure think so, but we’re more than a little skeptical. The company (which is not in fact Japanese, despite its name — ShaToBu stands for Shaping Toning Burning) sells calorie-burning legwear that utilizes resistance bands to help wearers lose weight. Right.

How does it work exactly? The bands “make muscles work a little harder during natural movement.” ShaToBu’s website cites a study from the University of Virginia that found “women who wear ShaToBu during daily activities burn up to 12% more calories during daily activities like walking or climbing stairs.” Hmmmm. The legwear (which includes shapers and tights) retails from $34 to $58, which falls into our “we don’t think we would spend this but we’re not totally sure” zone.

The video below spells out the “science” a bit more clearly, but we’re still suspicious. Watch it and let us know what you think!

ShaToBu will give you an edge on fitness – no, they are not a miracle and can’t replace your workout. But the claims are real and significant enough that the independent researchers presented their findings at both the American College of Sports Medicine national conference in June and two weeks ago at the National Obesity Conference – and you can’t just present your scientific data, you must be accepted to present. Try them and see for yourself – and besides, if you’re going to wear shapewear, why not wear a pair that can help you tone your muscles and burn extra calories?
