Want a more effective way of working out? Believe in the power of motivation? Even after an ACE study debunking the claims of toning shoes, these specially made exercising shoes are still largely accepted as being effective at getting the body working harder when walking. Toning shoes such as the Reebok Easytone, Skechers Shape-ups or MBT shoes (with their Masai Barefoot Technology) claim to provide a better way of working out, and will help to burn more calories and activate more muscles when walking, getting more fibers activated which would otherwise be doing very little.
What is it in these shoes that make all the difference?
Toning shoes are made to work unused and underused muscles in the legs and bottom, and improve the range of movement, especially in the feet where most people tend not to roll effectively from heel to toe. When you workout in an ordinary pair of shoes, you use the same muscles as you do throughout the day. But when you start using toning shoes like Skechers Shape-ups, with their dual density midsoles and rocker bottom or Reebok EasyTone shoes which features micro-instability pods, you get much more muscle involvement, as well as improved comfort which can be felt not only in your feet but throughout your body.
Unfortunately though, wearing toning shoes will not turn you into a svelte goddess immediately, as they take time for their effects to be felt. It also takes a while to get used to a new way of walking and you will really feel the extra effort in your hamstrings and glutes at the end of the day. Toning shoes are also known to improve posture by getting the weight back on the heels, helping you to stand up straighter, they can improve the blood circulation, and greatly reduce the shock waves acting on the knees.
You may not get a Reebok Easytone bottom overnight, but each step you take will get you closer to the body beautiful, and you really cannot argue with the comfort they offer.
