body togs are innovative, anatomically-designed wearable weights that are scientifically shown to increase the number of calories burned throughout everyday activities. These comfortable, low-profile weights for the calves and forearms are designed to be inconspicuous when worn under clothes. The science behind body togs is based upon Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (NEAT) which relates to the burning of calories and fat through normal everyday activity. See our Science page for more information.
NEAT refers to energy used to do normal movements such as brushing your teeth, fidgeting, cleaning, walking to your car, etc. While regular exercise is an important part of overall health, NEAT activities help you burn even more calories throughout the day. body togs are designed to maximize how many calories you burn while doing NEAT activities and contribute to your overall weight loss efforts.
body togs were created by leading Bariatric Physician (the science of weight loss), Dr. Ayaz Virji, MD. He first developed these as a means to enhance weight loss for his own patients. After over 100 prototypes, Dr. Virji perfected a design that is ideal for anyone who wants to burn more calories and tone their muscles throughout the day.
body togs boost your fat burning potential by harnessing the power of your regular daily activities to not only help you lose weight but also improve your fitness. As Dr. Virji explains, when people put on weight, the extra weight itself is not unhealthy, it is the fat which causes inflammation and cholesterol. The number of calories you burn per day depends on your weight. By simply adding these comfortable, wearable weights, you are effectively fooling your body into burning more fat. As a result, every activity you do during the day becomes a highly effective calorie-burning workout.
