Treat Yourself To A New Pair Of Shoes - And Get A Lower Body Workout For Free

How happy would you be if you knew that all you needed to do in order to tone your

legs and trim your buttocks was to put on a different pair of shoes in the morning? It does sound like a pipe dream - but there are now a number of different shoe manufacturers who promise exactly that.

Fitflops exercise sandals, Masai Barefoot Technology (MBT) shoes, and Skechers Shape Ups all incorporate a specially designed sole which is designed to mimic the sensation of walking barefoot on sand or soft ground. This lowers stress on the legs and joints, distributes body weight more evenly across the entire foot and reduces impact shock and jarring.

It promotes a rolling motion and encourages contact. The period of time for which the lower body muscles are acive is extended - by as much as 16% - whilst walking in these specially designed shoes.

An extra 16% of muscle activity might not sound like a big deal - but wearing your special exercise shoes every day can really make a difference. The average person takes approximately 15,000 steps daily. If each and every one of these was providing you with some additional exercise, you can probably imagine how that would have a positive effect relatively quickly.

Another point to note is that this lower body workout can be delivered just by wearing the shoes and going about your normal daily routine. No need to take time out of your day to visit the gym, no need to get all hot and sweaty and no need to pay any expensive gym membership fees. Its pretty much the ideal scenario whether youre a fitness fanatic or even if you wouldnt normally be seen within a mile of the gym. People who take regular exercise will maximize the efficiency of their workout, people who don't take regular exercise will effectively benefit from a free workout.

The claims for these types of shoes have been confirmed by testing and trials at various academic and scientific establishments such as Salford University and the London South Bank University (LSBU) in the UK. There is now a wide variety of companies offering these shoes in a huge range of different styles and colors. At the end of the day, you have little to lose and much to gain by trying these specially designed shoes. The next time that you feel like splashing out on a new pair of shoes you can probably find a pair of exercise shoes in the style that you fancied anyway.
