I'm fascinated by products that really take body shaping and toning to the next level, using high-tech design. And for that reason decided to try out the following two products...

The EasyTone Racer Top R600, Reebok Concept Stores and Totalsports

What They Promise
• To tone upper-body muscles with built in toning bands
• To improve posture and body alignment
• To tone key muscles in your leg and butt

The lightweight PlayDry jersey provides moisture management and PlayDry mesh adds breathability and comfort.

My Verdict A comfortable top that offers full cover. It definitely 'holds' your top half 'in place' and therefore definitely helps with posture. The best part? It looks great!

BodyTrain Mesh trainer R799, Puma





What They Promise
• Key leg muscles are activated to enhance natural movement and toning
• Offers increased stability
• Reduce pronation when walking

My Verdict Much more comfortable than I expected. After walking around for about 10 minutes they felt like 'normal trainers' but I could feel that my sense of balance was slightly challenged. This keeps you much more 'alert' and 'on your toes' when moving. I like the colours too!
