Good afternoon Loving Readers, Today, I wanted to share with you some of my favorite products I have been using for years and that I have found quite effective. Let me preface by saying that I have personally used all these products for years and I am not sponsored, so I have paid for every single one. This is truly my own opinion and experience. I wanted to share because everything is sweeter when you share and also these are things that get me excited about working out. And I think if we find things that help us get going and excited about working out. Why not?
Well my friends, this athletic gel/cream, a performance enhancement, in my humble opinion is BEYOND AWESOME. Sweet Sweat is manufactured and produced by Sports Research Corporation. I initially started using the stick. Nowadays, there are different ones you can choose from. I personally just love the stick. Since it is a gel/cream, and I don’t know about you but I don’t like the sticky feeling you get when you apply lotions on your body and then your hands end up all sticky and oily. So the stick is awesome. I basically rub it all over and I start working out and when I look at the ground, you see sweat dripping from every pore of your body. You can rub it on your arms and legs and put your clothes on it on just let it air out. It just looks like you applied on some lotion. Or what I do is I applied all over my belly and then I put on the waist trimmer, which I will go into detail next. 2. Waist trimmers- Now these waist trimmers are not the ones that you tight up like a corset and end up cutting your circulation, which I have seen other places, NOOOO. Please don’t even go there. These trimmers are sort of like a binder with Velcro so you can adjust to your measurements as you feel most comfortable. Mind you, Sweet Sweat carries trimmers not only for your waist but also for your arms and thighs. I have personally used the waist and the thighs trimmers. As I have mentioned previously, basically, all you have to do is to start by laddering the cream all over and then putting the trimmers on. During exercise this will help you raise your core body temperature and heat production. As a result, these promote and increase sweating. According to the company, the trimmers promote dripping, drenching sweat, burn more calories, increase circulation and help with muscle fatigue. These gel and trimmer won’t make you lose weight but they will certainly make you elevate your temperature therefore you sweat and increase circulation like no other. If anything at least you are getting rid of all the toxins from all the sweating.The best part is that it is something you can easily wear under your clothes and hide very well. If you wear the trimmers, your clothes won’t get stained or anything from the gel and nobody will notice that you are wearing them. Just give it a GO and THANK me Later. 3. ZAGGORA- Zaggora is a brand of exercise apparel which is made of lycra, polyester and neoprene which form a combination of layers the company defines as “thermofit technology”. Zaggora carries pants, tank tops, shorts, shirts, sweaters, you name it. Sort of the same idea here while you wear these workout clothes, your temperature raises and you sweat more. These clothing items feel like you are wearing thermos. The company claims that you burn 11% more calories during your workout and even after working out you burn 13% more calories. One thing to point out is that these brand comes from England, it is quite expensive and most of the time, the items you like are out of stock, soyou may end up waiting a long time for your item to be available and to be shipped out to you. Having said that I do like them. Now one thing they do is make you sweat. I have worn them at night, I have worn them just to run errands, I have worn them for workouts and here are my recommendations. These are great for walks, running errands and of course the gym. However, YOU WILL SWEAT, so make sure that if you uear them at the gym, brings clothes to change because you will be dripping in sweat. I think you can get the best use out of t hese items is when you do CARDIO. I promise you, you will be sweating bullets. So if you have a HOT date at the gym or you are trying to impress someone, perhaps not the best exercise apparel to wear. But if you really want to get a good workout in and sweat, these are perfect. WARNING, do not wear these on long hikes. I had the brilliant idea to wear them on a 20 mile hike and I BURNED. It was awful. BETTER ME THAN YOU my loves. 4. Heart Monitor- TALKING ABOUT MOTIVATION. If nothing else these will help you make a bee line to start your workout. These little guys are a gem, as you can see how hard you are actually working right then and there. In addition, many of these monitors will allow you to give you a good estimate of how many calories you burned which is more accurate than what you get on the cardio machines. Furthermore, if you are a numbers person, it will give you all the numbers you need to get an idea on how effective your workouts are and whether you need to step it up. So if you have a workout buddy or if you are trying to get your 10000 steps, this little guys, will maybe key to get you to be more active and to exercise. You can create your own little challenge with your spouse, your co-workers, your parents, your siblings, your frineds, you name it! As far as brand goes, I will leave it up to you. Honestly, I have not really found one that I love that much to really talk about and I won’t even dare to promote anything if I don’t completely and whole heartedly LOVE IT! 5. MCT OIL- Stands for Medium-Chain triglycerides which like coconut oil are saturated fats. But hear me out, these are GOOD saturated fats that we need to consume on a daily basis, as it has a positive effect on heart and brain health. MCTs can also be found on butter and beef from grass-fed cows, cheeses, whole milk and full-fat yogurt. These healthy fats are easily digested, have a termogenic effect, reduced stored body fat, increase energy levels, improve mood, balance hormone levels, fight bacterial infections and viruses. One easy way to incorporate this oil into your diet, in a blender, pour one cup of your brew coffee, one tablespoon of ghee, one tablespoon of MCT oil, a little stevia and there you have it, not only are you getting your daily dose of caffeine but you are also turning it into a SUPERFOOD. Try it out and let me know! I hope you like these suggestions! Do you want more posts like these. I have lots of different things to share. Just let me know in the comments section. With gratitude and love, Anamaria
