Health: The Best Acupressure Mats And Why You Should Have One At Home
If you do (or have done) sports regularly, you will have seen them more than once: I am talking about
those people who run as if there was no tomorrow on the gym treadmill with several layers
while you even have a tank top left over and you dream of the shower afterwards.
There are even those who say they have seen (not my case) some wrapped in plastic, sandwich style for recess, while doing sit-ups or lifting weights.
Tricks and various techniques that are intended to improve the results when exercising.
That is, sweat more and lose more fat.
That says the theory of being at home, of course, we will have to see what the experts think.
But before getting into the matter, let's go by parts.
The first thing, that
it is
no
longer necessary to stuff yourself like a sausage in plastic wrap or to go with the thickest Adidas tracksuit
, technology is also advancing in the world of fitness and now there are tights and sportswear in general with a sauna effect.
Its own name says it all.
If we type it in Google, the widest offer is found in Amazon.
There are not only leggings, but also other options such as abdominal girdles and other tops
.
I chose to choose these two garments filtering by positive comments and number of sales.
The tights are the best-selling in their category and there are also them for men.
What differentiates these tights from any other Decathlon is the material with which they are made.
It is Nano-silver 9500,
fabrics with intelligent nanotechnology that increase body temperature
, helping the body to sweat more than with any other garment.
Its benefits?
You can buy them here for 25.99 euros.
You also have the option for men here for 19.99 euros.
Although in this case it is shorter and neoprene tights.
According to the brand, Nheima, they
favor the reduction of cellulite and orange peel skin
, help to lose volume in the waist, reduce the circumference of the thighs, shape the belly, give elasticity to the skin, tighten the thighs ... AND They are not just for exercise, you can use them to take a walk or do any other type of activity.
I took an L and I usually wear a 38 for pants, so they don't give too much size.
Of course,
you have them available from S to XXL
and they have to be adjusted.
As for the upper part, I opted for an S because it is supposed to look like a second skin and it is the size I usually wear (I was also right).
In this case it is a neoprene vest that increases sweating three times, reduces the abdomen and raises the bust (I do not say it, the brand says it).
Plus, it also
promises to improve body posture by
supporting your back and helping you get the most out of exercise.
You can buy it here for 19.99 euros.
You have the option for men here for 14.24 euros.
AND THAT'S HOW I SLIMMED (OR NOT) WITH THE SAUNA EFFECT TIGHTS
I received the package in just two days and when I opened it I was surprised.
I was expecting a poor quality product and yet
both garments surprised me to the touch
.
Go ahead, I have been doing sports regularly for about eight years (about five days a week) and I have been incorporating routines of all kinds: strength, cardio such as running or cycling, high intensity training, boxing ... During the confinement I exhausted the patience of my neighbors thanks to Patry Jordan, Fausto Murillo and company.
Despite the fact that I lived a sedentary life for many years,
at 32 I can say that I am an active person who does sports
and that although I started doing it as a way to lose weight, that goal was left behind and the reasons are already other: mental health, stay as healthy as possible, be stronger every day ...
By this I mean that I am not the case of a person looking for a miracle solution to lose kilos:
I was never a fan of the artichoke diet
or the burrada (because I consider it an attack on the body) of the Dukan diet and the dangerous ketosis.
Losing a lot of weight in a short time is not good and rebound is not a myth
, what matters is adherence to healthy habits, eat a balanced diet, say goodbye (in a high percentage at least) to the ultra-processed and leave behind excuses and lamentations such as lack of time (because to see the latest Netflix series we all find the moment).
There are no miracle solutions and, of course, I know that
I am not going to find the definitive solution to be able to have Papa John's dinner every night
.
Nor do I expect them to make my ass harder, for that I suppose squats will be better.
I put on the outfit and before doing sports I decided to clean the house.
It seemed like a good activity to get the hang of them.
It is true that you notice some heat, but nothing uncomfortable.
Also,
although they fit like a glove, they allow you to perform any movement
without problem and I could say that they are just as comfortable as other tights.
After an hour cleaning the kitchen,
the heat was increasing and the fabric was beginning to take effect
, the legs were already somewhat damp.
I started exercising, indoors first: a Body Pump session during which I sweated considerably more than usual (with beads of sweat falling in the most intense minutes).
I do not know if six times more than without these clothes, as the brand says, but of course you sweat, you sweat.
I have to say that
the upper part had that double function that the brand promised
: it helped me to maintain my posture in some exercises and not to pull my lower back.
Next, I set about doing some cardio outside, which I appreciated, because
the heat and sweat were starting to get uncomfortable
.
In fact, once I got to this point, I lowered my tights to check how they fit, and putting them back up was a bit tricky.
After about 10 minutes of rope jumping, I ended the experiment and went to the shower.
To my surprise, the tights and the top, despite the sweat, did not smell bad at all.
And I ... I ended up fresh from the pool.
and what happened next?
Well, I was very thirsty.
And also that I felt like when you leave a spa, totally relaxed and with little strength.
Obviously I noticed fluid loss through sweat so I
probably lost weight ... until I drank a couple of glasses of water
and regained the lost fluid.
And it is that, it is not advisable to lose sight of the fact that sweating is not a miracle effect, but something fundamental to maintain our body temperature and key to lower our body temperature and allow our body to function as it should.
According to the experts, I have lost some toxins, but probably less than what I think because, in sweat, we find basically 95% water.
And yes, indeed,
the liver and kidneys are responsible for making that detox
that many products promise us so much.
They also tell me that it is normal to feel the benefits of leaving a sauna:
muscle relaxation, smoother skin
, increased blood circulation due to vasodilation ...
The sports brand Domyos, from Decathlon, recommends this type of clothing to avoid the risks of hyperthermia and to warm up muscles.
In addition, they say, part of the sweat does not evaporate but stays on the skin and promotes rehydration.
Thus, they stand out that they smooth the skin, leaving it very soft, that they reduce muscle fatigue and that you eliminate more toxins.
As for the promise of firm buttocks, they defend that it does help to work on a slim figure and to reaffirm thighs and buttocks, but always combining it with sports and a proper diet.
THEN ... DO I RECOMMEND THEM?
The answer is yes, but with nuances.
That is,
they have seemed a good option for warming up
, especially when it comes to being outdoors and with some cold.
My skin also felt much smoother after exercise.
I can say little about whether it reduced my cellulite or about its drainage function, since I have only used them once, but the truth is that
my legs felt somewhat lighter that day
, so it can improve circulation.
Of course, we are talking about cellulite caused by water retention, because fat (and I'm sorry to say it) is not so easily removed.
In this image you can see the inside of the tights and how they get home to you.
You can buy them here for 25.99 euros.
In short, they seem like
one more tool that you can incorporate into your exercise routine
and that, at least I, will continue to alternate with my traditional sportswear.
The upper part offers a lumbar support that I consider an extra when lifting weights and the tights are comfortable and ideal for any exercise.
Also, if you usually do sports outdoors in winter as well, they will be very useful to warm up.
You can buy it here for 19.99 euros.
You have the option for men here for 14.24 euros.
WHAT DO AMAZON USERS SAY?
I decided to also contrast my opinion with those of other users, since the ratings are many (more than 3,000) and the
final score is a worthy 4 out of 5
.
"We bought these pants to go out for a walk and after reading the comments, the truth was that it seemed like a good solution to end cellulite. I have no weight problem, but it is true that with 55 kilos and 27 years I have always had on my legs Orange peel and some dimples. Well, what a surprise when we start walking with them. You immediately
start to sweat so much that if you are not careful you get sweaty.
Better to remove them only when you are clear that you do not want to climb them again, because with sweat it is quite difficult. Using it a couple of times a week just walking (although it was already hot) the skin is much smoother. One pass ", from one of the comments.
"They are great.
The thermo effect works as soon as you move
. I use them daily even to go shopping and you notice when you take them off what you've sweated. If you do sports, it's a 1000% effect. It's really incredible.
I bought Many garments with a heat effect to reduce hips and abdomen, but like these pants, no.
Besides, they have a fine and beautiful design, nobody imagines that they are thermos. They are very thin and very comfortable, "says another.
