Wear New Balance Toning Shoes to Tone the Lower Body

New Balance has long been associated with athletics and running, and produces some of the best sneakers and trainers for athletes and amateurs alike. The highly comfortable designs and technological advances in the shoes make walking and running much more pleasurable with New Balance sneakers on your feet.

Last year, however the footwear company has started to produce a range of toning shoes, which help to tone the lower body, ease the stresses and the strains on the joints, whilst helping you to lose weight faster. The shoes boost muscle activation in the lower body by up to 28%, and increase calorie burning by up to 10%, and achieve this with a low profile design closer to their running shoes than most of the thick soled rocker bottom toning shoes.

The design is rapidly making New Balance toning shoes some of the most popular on the market. With so many thick soled toning shoes on the market, men and women have been crying out for a low profile design which looks just like standard running sneakers. The latest New Balance styles offer just that, and do not call attention to the fact you are toning your nether regions. The shoes have stylish designs just like NB running shoes, with the toning technology well hidden away in the midsole of the shoes.

The Rock N Tone was the first release, and its stylish design proved an instant hit. It sculpts and tones the lower body getting up to 27% more muscle activation in the quads, hamstrings, calves and buttocks, whilst increasing oxygen consumption by up to 8%. Oxygen consumption is a good measure of calorie burning, making these shoes a great choice for dieters to speed up weight loss.

The latest release however offer even greater muscle toning and weight loss than the Rock & Tone, with what has to be one of the best toning shoes designs released by any manufacturer. The shoes feature the latest toning technology to get the extra burn, whilst looking like a cool, fashionable and modern running trainer. Called New Balance True Balance, the shoes really get the lower body working hard, and boost the cardiovascular value of walking, getting more calories burned per hour to really get you into great shape in the minimum time frame.

The shoes feature a new spring system to introduce instabilities, whilst providing a highly cushioned ride to ease the strain on the joints. New Balance True Balance improve on the impressive stats of the rock & tone, and get up to 28% more muscle activity and up to 10% more calorie burning.

The Rock & Tone is released in a flip-flop model for summer coolness and comfort, and the whole range is famed for its highly comfortable seamless fit. New Balance Toning shoes may have been a late addition to the growing toning shoe range; however it was certainly worth the wait with some of the best designs released to date, and some of the most comfortable shoes of any of the toning shoes manufacturers. If you want to get great lower body tone, lose weight and have a highly comfortable walk, you really can’t beat New Balance toning shoes.

Do Toning Shoes actually work?

 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.
