Lover thy name is..Powerbelly weight belt

O.k. I know I said I was getting one of those Powerbelly weight belts for Yule/c-mas. WELLL, Santa ended up spending all his money on the kids, so I had to wait a bit. But guess what! momma finally got one of the things.....and I am in LOVE. ( cue sappy Lionel Richie music). It is every bit as wonderful as I thought it would be. Now let me just say that I searched for a weight belt via internet, and sporting goods stores,( unfruitlessly I might add), until hubby said something to the effect of," you really should get one that is made for bellydancers,you know".So I plunked down the dough ( and they aren't cheap) , forgoing a new pair of Saroyan zills.
It came last week. I got the XL, reading in several different places that you should go a size up to make sure it fits ( and they run small). The XL has 14 lbs that you can add. I started with seven, and ended up adding all 14. I expected that it would work my muscles, but what I am really impressed with is that it makes you FEEL each move. This is the best way I can describe it, it is like you can feel each muscle working.
Get one!!!
Naaga's covering her ass personal disclaimer: I have a big ole Armenian butt and hips. So adding fourteen pounds was not a problem, my butt can support it. I also took it slowly doing only ten minutes at first with the belt, like Delilah recommends. But if you aren't careful, I could see someone throwing their back out with this thing. It is awesome, but when in doubt, use less weight.
