Body Wraps

[destinationbride07]

has anyone ever had one? if so what is it like? did you really lose inches?

[LEIGH]

You know what? I was wondering the same thing! I actually had an apointment back in October, but had to cancel it due to an ankle fracture...Are you talking about the one like suddenly slimmer? It seems pretty intense, like after they wrap you, you have to do 45 minutes of cardio...sounds weird.

But to answer your question, NO i have not tried it yet!

i did a body wrap the day before my wedding. no cardio involved though. it was nice. totally relaxing. with a massage. my skin was so soft too. probably not much skinnier. but i felt great.

 

heres the kind i got - A luxurious body treatment designed to nourish and relax the body, mind and spirit. A purifying omega 3 and flax seed exfoliation stimulates the skin, following a nourishing wrap of soy infused body balm. Leaving your skin feeling replenished and renewed.

I have to admit....I had one done last year before we went to Mexico.

 

I did the one where they wrap your entire body with ace bandages...even around your head...under your chin. They measure your arms, legs, hips, neck...etc before they wrap you....then they soak you with some type of "mineral" water.

 

THEN you get on an ellipical and work out for an hour as you watch t.v....they also had a vibrating thing in there that your were suppose to put parts of your body on (haha!) like your thighs...anything with lots-o-fat.

 

Every 10 minutes they re-soak you. o.k., so I lost a total of like 15 - 20 inches...BUT...I really think it's because my skin had not popped back from the ace bandages being so tight.

 

That's my story.
