The invention relates to garments and undergarments. More particularly, to a garment that may induce caloric burn while the wearer goes about his or her day. An objective for the garment is to increase exercise of body muscles used in daily living. In one embodiment, a garment and/or shaper is described with carefully positioned resistance bands that are relatively more resistant (i.e., less stretchy or elastic) than the fabric used to construct the remainder of the garment. At least two of these bands are positioned to extend from the thighs upwards towards the waist and cross at the ischium. These bands have a direct effect on muscles that would normally be activated during regular activity and cause them to be further exercised, but in a gentle manner. The effect, which may be slightly perceptible, is felt while the wearer goes about his or her day.
