Resistance Technology
If someone told you that you could wear your gym, would you believe them? What if they told you that just by wearing a pair of leggings you could transform every step that you take into a workout? I know what you are thinking…. it sounds too good to be true.
Many of our customers were skeptical too until they had a chance to try our resistance leggings and feel the results from themselves.
“I was skeptical at first but after just 1 day of wearing these leggings while doing my normal house chores, I can feel the difference, my legs have received a workout before I worked out! I cannot wait to see what my legs look like after a couple a weeks wearing these leggings!!!!” - Susi

What are resistance leggings anyway?
In many ways, resistance leggings look and feel like your favorite pair of leggings: extremely comfortable, form-fitting, and stylish. But, unlike traditional leggings, resistance leggings come equipped with our patented resistance technology so that you can get more out of every step. Through innovation and rigorous testing, we have pioneered a way to seamlessly integrate resistance bands into leggings so that you can #wearyourgym, enhancing your workouts and toning your muscles and burning extra calories as you go about your daily routine.
Our patented approach utilizes precisely positioned resistance bands, running the length of each leg, to activate a variety of muscle groups as you walk, run, squat, or engage in other physical activity. The resistance is strong enough to achieve results but not so intense that you can’t wear them comfortably throughout your day. We believe in creating a product that meets you halfway and fits seamlessly into your busy life.
And they are not only good for you, they look good on you! You shouldn’t have to sacrifice looking good to get results. But don’t just take our word for it, check out what some of our customers are saying…
“I really like these leggings! They fit comfortably, are easy to put on, and make my legs and butt look great! I definitely can feel it in my legs after wearing them on a walk. I also wore them for “leg day” and it added that little extra umph to my workout. I would absolutely recommend them!” - Liz
“The most flattering and comfortable leggings. I love that I can get an extra workout boost just by wearing them working or running errands. Definitely buying more.” - Aimee
Why put resistance bands into leggings?
The simple answer is because… well, why not!? We believe that your clothing can and should do more for you. That is why we are on a mission to redefine athleisure by creating a completely new genre of clothing: resistance activewear. Designed for today’s busy world, resistance activewear allows you to get more out of your day, your workout, and your routine by utilizing resistance technology to improve your body’s physiological performance and drive better health and wellness outcomes.
Early on, we hypothesized that the concept would resonate with our customers, but we have been utterly blown away by the response! Over the past few years, we have spoken with thousands of customers who have shared stories, personal experiences, and feedback about how our product has impacted their lives. From busy moms who are struggling for a way to stay healthy and in shape while balancing work and family, to athletes looking for an innovative product to enhance their workout. We have even heard stories about how resistance leggings have impacted customers with various health conditions that make traditional exercise difficult. Whatever the reason, staying active and healthy is a core human imperative, and we are so proud to have created a product that can have a real impact on people’s lives.
Do resistance leggings work?
From the very beginning, we have been committed to rigorous testing. The health and wellness industry has been plagued for too long by gimmicky products with false promises of big results. We strive to be different. Since 2017, we worked closely with the John B Pierce Laboratory at the Yale University School of Medicine to run a series of tests in a controlled environment to understand the physiological effects of wearing Sweetflexx's resistance leggings.
While connected to metabolic sensors, subjects walked on a treadmill with and without resistance leggings while lab technicians monitored caloric expenditure and oxygen consumption. The goal was to observe whether wearing resistance leggings was associated with increased energy expenditure relative to wearing regular leggings.
The results were everything we hoped for! Not only do Sweetflexx resistance leggings help subjects burn more calories, but the cumulative energy expenditure through the course of the day is meaningful. Assuming 8 hours of mild movement per day, the data suggests that wearing a pair of Sweetflexx resistance leggings increases energy expenditure by about 225 kcals per day. Framed another way, wearing Sweeflexx resistance leggings for a day is roughly equivalent to 30 minutes at the gym!

This study was just the beginning and we are actively engaged in several research initiatives focused on band orientation and varied resistance levels. Stay tuned for updates!
“I’m a Personal Trainer in training as well as a fitness business owner. I’ve researched these pants and I’m very happy with the results. Easy to put on, material is comfortable and there is a big difference when wearing them during a workout vs without them! Thank you for an effective product.” - Cori

How much resistance do Sweetflexx leggings have?
Our goal is to balance comfort and results; we want to incorporate enough resistance to make your muscles work a little harder without making the leggings difficult to wear for an entire day. This was a decision we made based on experimentation and feedback from customers.
Each pair of Sweetflexx legging applies roughly four pounds of resistance to each step. The exact amount varies slightly based on the size and fit of the leggings relative to body type. We have found that the tighter the fit, the taughter the bands and the greater the resistance. It is important to ensure that the leggings are worn correctly in order to maximize the resistance. The bands should straddle your kneecap, and the ankles should be pulled down as far as they can go.
Benefits of wearing resistance leggings
There are many benefits to wearing resistance leggings. Some are aesthetic, and others have to do with the incredible advantages of Sweetflexx’s resistance technology. In our opinion, these are the top benefits to wearing resistance leggings:
- Extra calories burned - As the research indicates, wearing a pair of Sweetflexx resistance leggings throughout the day burns extra calories when compared to a normal pair of leggings. And the more you move, the greater the results!
-
Toning muscles - Just like using resistance bands at the gym, Sweetflexx’s patented resistance technology helps our customers to tone their muscles as they go about their day.
-
