Weighted Bracelets Will Work Out Your Arms

Let's face it, no matter what your fitness goals, your family and work usually come first leaving less time for the workouts you crave. With this in mind, two moms from the Philadelphia area created wearable workouts so that you burn more calories just by going through the usual motions of your day. True story.
fitnessUwear is a line of "wearable fitness" products that include wrist weights, ankle weights, and resistance slips (that's right - you wear the slip underneath your clothes and it adds resistance to build your muscles). The slight weight of the wearable products help tone your arms, legs, hips, and glutes. I wore the Banglz around my wrists on-and-off for a week and my arms actually felt a little sore -- that means they work! They come in all different styles so they blend in with your outfits. To learn more about these products visit banglz.com.
How do you fit fitness into your daily life? Think you would try these?

Nah, I don't think I would try them! Seems kinda silly! I squeeze my workouts in while the kids are napping or when my youngest (11) months is napping and my girls (3 & 4) are playing!! Works for me! If there is a will, there is a way :)
I'd give them a shot.
Ha, I went. All the sizes for the skirts and slips available are for girls who may not need to lose weight? A weighted skirt for size 0-4. Come on. Post something about weight loss for someone who needs it!! :)
I don't think it could hurt to wear them, but you can't expect them alone to change your body much.... you'll burn at least a few more calories than you would otherwise.

I would definitely try these fitness bracelets. Not only do they look fun and fashionable but they tone as well!
