Truer words were never spoken. Take note Nicki Minaj.
Every day before I write a post, I ask myself, "How can I uplift my readers today?" Well today I get to uplift you in a whole different way! As in, your butts! And no, no TSA employees will be involved, I promise.
You've seen the ads:
"Think like a work in progress... Look like a work of art!" (Fila)
"Recover quicker, perform better." (SKINS)
"A better body with every move." (Reebok)
And my personal fave: "Underwear and a workout in one!" (Shapercise)
You can't swing a kettlebell these days without hitting an ad for "toning clothing" - fancy workout duds that claim to activate more muscles, burn extra calories, improve posture and make you look better while doing it. Sounds great, right? Who wouldn't want a workout in their underwear?? (I can't even keep a straight face typing that.) But the (multi)million dollar question for this burgeoning industry is: Do they work? While the toning shoes have been thoroughly discredited - not only do they not work your muscles but they also put you at a higher risk of injury- you might be surprised by what I discovered about the clothing.
