Multi-tasking Shapewear

ShaToBu stands for shape-tone-burn — it may not roll off the tongue but it does burn up the inches. I spoke to Dr. Denise Perron at Bloomingdales recently to find out how. She's a chiropractor who prescribes exercise to clients, but not only were they not doing it, more and more were showing up in shapewear. So she started sewing exercise straps on shorts, because she was concerned about unused muscles. The result: Resistance bands that work you out while you're squeezing it in. The key is moving (that's where I went wrong). "But even at work," she said, "you get up to get coffee, go to the bathroom, go to lunch." Yay. Tests presented at the ACSM in June proved the calorie-burning process, which means you can get in a workout while you work. $50-60, also now in footless tights. More info & stores at ShaToBu.com
