Science of Weight Loss

The Science Behind FIT® Bodywraps

Claims of fat loss and treatments for cellulite are everywhere and usually when something sounds too good to be true, it is. But FIT Bodywraps are different. There’s actual science behind our system, and it works! According to Dr. Aaron M. Flickstein, “Heating muscles produces an increased blood flow level similar to that seen during exercise.”*

Our happy clients will testify to the amazing results you can expect from a body wrap; read for yourself what they’ve got to say!

The FIT® Bodywrap system incorporates a dual action process: far infrared ray (FIR) heat along with our proprietary FIT® Booster Spray to enhance results.

1. Far Infrared Ray Technology

Far Infrared Ray (FIR) heat from a FIT® Bodywrap works to get underneath the fat tissue, thinning the blood so that it can get into the areas where fat exists. The FIR technology used in FIT Bodywraps doesn’t make fat leave your body but it breaks the fat down into fatty acids – the same ones used by your muscles to produce energy.

FIT® Bodywraps are perfectly safe, emitting infrared rays in the safe, 5 – 15 microns range closest to human bio-fields.

Applying heat to the body softens fat tissue and speeds up metabolism, causing fat to enter the bloodstream. Infrared technology heats your body safety and makes it sweat as a natural way to cool it down. This sweat is fueled by the energy from the converted fatty acids. This activity burns calories – up to 1,400 calories in a single hour!

“…Regular use [of a FIR sauna] may well be as effective a means of cardiovascular conditioning and burning of calories as regular exercise.”** –MAJ Ward Dean

The 1-2-3 Punch!

What else can you expect a FIT® Bodywrap to do? Take a look:

1. Flush away toxins, pollution and heavy metals.
2. Improve circulation and the rate of metabolism.
3. Improves skin tone and reduces the appearance of cellulite.

Sweat not only cools your body, but it acts as a garbage collector. Antiperspirants, artificial environments, smog, synthetic clothing, and a relatively idle physical lifestyle will clog skin pores and inhibit the healthy flow of sweat. As you will learn, sweat can reverse all of these detrimental side effects!

When your body gets hot as it would in an infrared sauna, your nerve endings are cued to produce acetylcholine, a chemical which incites the 2.3 million sweat glands located in your skin.

Over the course of a normal day, your body is likely to produce one pint of sweat which clean away built-up toxins. These toxins account for about one percent of the sweat (the other 99 percent is water). The more you sweat, the more your body is cleansed. Most of us don’t sweat enough to get rid of all the toxins absorbed through our skin and respiratory system.

Sweating during your body wrap session is likely to draw out lactic acid from your body, the substance which contributes to stiff muscles and fatigue. During your one-hour FIT® Bodywrap session, you are likely to produce two pints or more of beneficial, toxin-cleansing sweat!

In addition to calorie burning, FIT® Bodywraps using FIR technology help relieve aches and pains and improve the rate of metabolism.

Your body rids itself of any number of toxic metals and pollution being flushed away via sweat. This improves skin tone and circulation and also reduces the appearance of cellulite.

So while it may seem as if you are doing nothing during your body wrap session, your organs are working away and using stored fat as the energy to sweat out toxins and melt away inches.

2. FIT® Booster Spray

Want even better results? Opt to use our proprietary FIT® Booster spray during your body wrap session to creates a barrier on the skin. This additional barrier forces the body to work even harder than it normally would to burn more calories and produce more cooling sweat.

This special spray was designed to work with the FIT® Coat which was specifically engineered to create an effective barrier and further enhance the effects of both the FIT® Booster and FIT® Bodywrap. You won’t find it anywhere except in a tanning salon, spa or clinic that features the exclusive FIT® Bodywrap system.

The FIT® Bodywrap Experience

What can you expect when you get a FIT Bodywrap from a salon or spa? You’ll go through this simple, relaxing process:

• Watch a short DVD to learn about the body wrap process
• Opt to purchase the FIT® Booster spray, which enhances results
• Slip into the FIT® Coat
• Adjust the temperature in four zones (arms, abdomen, upper legs, lower legs), using one degree increments up to 130 degrees
• Lie back and relax for an hour watching a movie or listening to music
• At the end of the hour, take off the FIT® coat, throw it away and go on with your day feeling rejuvenated!

FIT® Bodywrap is the only system that covers the entire body providing the most effective benefits you can get! And since there is no attendant required to make adjustments, you can feel comfortable and safe knowing your privacy is being honored.
