Zaggora Hotpants: the key to weight loss?


If I were to utter the words “hot pants” to you, what would cross your mind? Visions of teeny tiny spandex shorts? Some sort of fashion disaster? A potentially deadly wardrobe malfunction/mistake? Or even a play on the old schoolyard game hot potato? Some of you might even be thinking about an episode of a tv show that culminates in this image:

Luckily for all of us, we’re not talking any of those things.
Oh no, we’re talking neoprene cycling shorts with ‘bio-ceramic’ technology that causes these special not-so-little Hotpants to reflect body heat, increasing perspiration by up to 80% which will in turn promote deeper warming of tissue and the breakdown of fat cells. The harder you work, the more effective the Hotpants.
The Hotpants site even claims that if you combine Hotpants with your regular lifestyle (including workouts) for 2 weeks you could lose up to 2 dress sizes. And the deeper warming of tissue and breakdown of fat cells mean blasting your cellulite!


Ohhhhh yeaaaaah! I hear you say. The question is do they really work? According to the testimonials on the Hotpants site they are kicking butt. But promo testimonials have never really done it for us, they may well be true but we thought that we’d road test it for you.
A few months ago we mentioned our good friend Angela. She has kindly volunteered to be our guinea pig, she works long shifts, has erratic sleep patterns and exercises at least twice a week. Her diet comprises of salads, rice, meat once a week, dairy, eggs, teas, beans, fish twice a week, and fruit and vegetables. She's also known to have the occasional snack!
She currently weighs in at 18 stone 3.5lbs, has a BMI of 44.2 and she needs to lose 7 stone 3lbs. And her body measurements are 48-41-52.
For the next 30 days (starting today) Angela will be wearing her hotpants every day for at least an hour. We plan to measure her in a month and she’ll be providing us with a full review.
If you’re interested in being a part of this challenge and have your pic on the blog then all you need to do is send us your original weight and measurements (along with a before pic if you want) @ layla.prend@gmail.com. Wear your hotpants everyday for at least an hour, make a note if you exercise with them (what type of exercise and how long you exercised for), and at the end of the 30 day challenge send us your weight, measurements, and any comments you might have (along with an after pic if you’d like) and we’ll include them in our final review. Just in case you were wondering the info would only be used for the purposes of the review!
If you’d like to do the challenge without being part of the review, just follow the steps above without sending us anything.
If you’d just like to buy a pair of these 21st century cycling shorts then  you can get them from:
  • the Zaggora Hotpants site (they also sell leggings and capri leggings made of the same material)
  • or from Firebox for £44.99 (inc P&P) - Angela bought hers from Firebox.
We Hope You're Having a Lovely Day!
