Take the #2weekchallenge with this @zaggora Viva HotPants giveaway! (3 winners)

We all look for short cuts to make things easier. When we can hear how something we dread can be done in a simple way, most of us jump all over it. Exercising would probably be at the top of this list. Only a small margin of people actually like to work out. We all may love the results but can you honestly say you love to get all sweaty and feel the burn? Yea, I thought so.

Well ladies, Zaggora HotPants may just be the perfect partner in your fight against cellulite. For those of you who haven't heard of them, let me introduce you and then we'll get better acquainted. The Viva line are five, new and bright colored work out pants (leggings) with contrasting seams ending just below the knee. Viva’s new cut have a curved seam construction that is narrower at the back, widens around the bottom and then narrows in on the thighs to accentuate the body shape, slim the thighs and create a flattering silhouette.

The Science behind the pants:


· Scientific studies show Weight loss is FOUR TIMES GREATER in Hotpants

· Hotpants increase the energy expenditure during exercise

· Hotpants increase energy expenditure in the resting stage after exercise by 16%

· The core temperature in Hotpants increased by an average of 18% compared to the control

· Thermal sensation was significantly greater but safe in Hotpants
*Tested on 9 women with an average BMI of 23.3. All test subjects performed 30 minutes of exercise in HotPants as well as in a standard control garment. 

Now that we get the idea, how about getting to the nitty gritty... or in this case the wetty sweaty... I know I'm a nerd. Don't care :P

Here's the deal. The pants (really they are capri length) aren't magical fairies that can zap you bums down a couple sizes and fill in those dimples in the cheeks and thighs. Like everything else, there is work involved no matter how minimal it may be. However, that being said... these pants will most certainly speed up the process and make it nearly impossible not to lose while using them. I have been trying out their Viva hot pink pair with orange detail ( love the summer colors! ) and even the times I didn't feel like they were working and I wasn't feeling the 'heat' sort of speak... I would go use the bathroom and (sorry for being candid here) I would instantly feel the cool hit me as soon as I started taking them off, making it obvious I was indeed sweating.

They give you a chart that shows you about how many calories you can burn by doing normal activities. The first day I put them on I was mowing the lawn and getting my yard ready for company. It was my sisters birthday and I was running all over the place setting things up for a cook out and campfire. I would remind myself I had the pants on and instead of walking to the driveway to get the next chair to set up, I would job there. Throughout the day I would give myself little reminders. By the end of the day, I was feeling pretty good was definitely sweaty in those pesky target areas.

These pants are similar to a wet suit. They have the same look and almost the same feel on the outside but different when you put them on. One thing that I have not seen mentioned in all the reviews I have read is that they have a certain sound to them. You know how corduroys have that "swish swish" sound? I used to hate cords for that reason... Well the HotPants has a "woosh woosh" sound. Almost like a small air release. Kinda weird to get used to but really I could care less. It could sing country music (which is NOT my taste) if they help me get a beach bod back!

You can purchase the Zaggora Viva HotPants for $79.71 on their site. They come in 5 different colors and the sizes to me are spot on. I wear a size 5-9 depending on what jeans I'm wearing and these seem tailored for me. They recommend you hand washing them and air drying, but I found that putting it in the delicate cycle and air drying them worked out just fine. Most washers have a hand washing setting as well. I just wouldn't find it work the bill to wash this alone. So in that sense, hand washing would be more appealing.

Zaggora wants you to take the 2 week challenge. The challenge is that you can drop 2 pant sizes in 2 weeks. What do I think? With what I am experiencing so far, I say "Absolutely". Now I should have been into my second week by now.. I'm starting it a little late. I've had out of state company and many things going on. I have been wearing my pants while doing housework but I haven't given them justice yet. Will you take the 2 week challenge with me? Here is my before picture. Starting now I will be wearing my HotPants at least 3 days a week and doing some exercising. I want to see how fast I can sweat my bum away and I want you to jump in with me. Don't forget to connect with them on their Facebook page.

Zaggora has generously given me 3 pairs to give away! I know! That's insane! If you already own a pair of HotPants and have started the challenge, please share with us in the comments. If you haven't but you end up winning, I would love to hear what you think. Just use the rafflecopter below and good luck! I will be back in 2 weeks with my after pictures.
