subject: Toning Tips: Using The Reebok Easytone Trainers To Firm Your Legs [print this page] Major sports brand Reebok have claimed that their new line of Easytone trainers can tone your hamstrings, calves and bum nearly 30% more than regular trainers just by walking in them. They claim the trainers can "train muscles your trainers never knew you had."
But if you look hard enough you will find a few methods of getting in shape without changing your day to day routine. One very good, very new method is using the Reebok Easytone trainers, a shoe designed to create instability which the body naturally counteracts.
The sports giant claim the shoe creates a smaller, more unstable surface area which is significant enough to activate muscles without impacting the way you move or even making you aware. Supposedly your leg and bum muscles will naturally fight to find a balance point and will therefore work your legs and buttocks significantly more than usual.
The entire Reetone range was tested on two groups, the first aged 19 to 24 who were put through exercise trials and had muscle activation, heart rate and caloric expenditure measured.
The second group, aged 21 to 27 also went through similar tests and both groups were tested with regular trainers to compare. The initial results were not impressive, using the Reetone trainers did not increase caloric expenditure or heart rate, and the only effects were aching of the muscles.
Kelly says, "I have always been energetic and active and I've always loved dancing. I've been surrounded by people into fitness and health for a long time, so have always been conscious about what I put in my body. I'm also aware of keeping myself in shape for my job and general lifestyle.
