ShaToBu?

psuedodragon

So I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this product. It's a body shaper with built in resistance bands that (supposedly) ups your calorie burn by 12%. The site says that it was tested in four independant experiments where oxygen consumption was measured.

I'm not wanting or expecting it to replace real workouts, but considering I'm stuck at school every day from 8 until 3:30 and then work from 4 until 8 every night I don't get a lot of time to do workouts. So until my schedule calms down (hopefully in January I'll be able to take classes that don't take up so much time) something like what the ShaToBu says it does would be great (up the calorie burn during normal movements like walking and stairs)... just to give me some sort of something.

On the one hand, a good shaper can be helpful in regards to self-confidence (at least I find I feel better when I'm pulled in a little tighter), but I don't know if I want to pay $45+s&h for something I could probably run down to the Bay to get. If the resistance band aspect works like it says it does then I'd be much more inclined to buy one or two...

So to repeat, just wondering if anyone has had any experience with this product. Did you find that it helped? Or was it not worth the money?
