Description
Plastic Disposable Weight Loss Garment
The Plastic Disposable Weight loss Garment is directly related to the health
and fitness industry.
More specifically focused on weight loss and toning. The suit is designed to
raise body
temperature, there fore exerting more energy to burn calories; and through
perspiration, reduce
excess water retained by the body of the individual wearing this specially
designed suit. The suit
is made up of several different pieces, pants, shorts, shirts, sleeveless
shirts, vests and a full piece
garments. ( May come equipped with a pull string waist band for the pants and
shorts, also with
Velcro attachments for the frill piece suit.) These pieces can be worn
together or separately as
individual pieces. The suit is designed so that it can be worn discretely by
the user. The suit is to
be worn directly over the skin of the users upper or lower body or over the
underpants of the
users lower body. When the suit is worn during cardio vascular exercise it
does two things, it
raises your body temperature there fore making you sweat. This excess sweat
allows you to shed
unwanted pounds of water retained by the body. Secondly the raised body
temperature forces
your body to exert more energy under the condition resulting in the burning of
more calories.
The suit is made from a plastic material comprised of 100% Polyethylene which
can be
produced as a perforated or non- perforated product. 'The perforated suit
allows air to pass
through the suit, which helps in the evaporation of the sweat on the surface
of the skin which
cools the body. Once t:he user completes the workout the suit is then disposed
of, preferably
recycled.
