0 Shatobu shaper Review and Giveaway Ends 04-28

Shatobu is a revolutionary calorie burning shaper. You wear the shaper under your clothing and as you do your daily activities, you're getting a workout. This is quite simply an amazing product.

I'm sure we all have a few pounds that we want to lose. I'll start off by admitting that I have about 20 pounds I'd like to lose. I'm at the highest non-pregnant weight that I've ever been. My closet is full of size 5 clothes that I've worn all my life and somehow I've went to a size 12 over the past year or so.

It's difficult to find time or more importantly, the energy to exercise. I work a full time job and it just seems like there's not enough time in the day. With the  ShaToBu , you can wear it while you do those errands or cleaning and that give you an extra little workout while you do it. 

There are different ones to choose from. I chose the high waist to knee shaper. The material is like a thick stocking, made from nylon and lycra. For the sizing, I actually went with my height range and got a size large. With that size, it is supposed to be for 141 to 160 pounds. I'm lighter than that but my thighs would beg to differ when it came to putting the Shatobu on. It came with a card that has pictured instructions on how to put it on.
The concept of this garment is the material acts like resistance bands against your muscles as you do your daily activities so it's meant to be tight. With that being said, I followed the instructions to the letter but it was quite a process trying to squeeze my thighs and hips into it.

Once it's on, you realy don't feel that tightness. It is just snug against your body all over and is very comfortable. Even when having to use the restroom, it's not bad to pull down and back up.
After I'd used it for about a week, it was much easier to get on and fit even more comfortably. You can actually feel it working while it's tighter around your thighs and stomach as you bend down or move around. That actually gives you a little more energy just doing those things that gives me a little spunk to want to do more vigorous exercise.

"With regular use 12 hours a day, 7 days a week, a woman can potentially burn up to 30,000 extra calories in one year with ShaToBu”
Professor Frank Katch

What an amazing concept! After just a week, I haven't seen any weight loss yet, but I will continue to wear my Shatobu and maybe post an update later. I know I am sure to lose weight.  I am so pleased to own it and I love it! When I do end up losing weight, I will be buying the next size down for myself.

One lucky reader will win a Shatobu shaper of their choice $58 value
