Reebok EasyTone Shoes Promise to Tone Your Butt. Fad Alert,
on sale sneakers
Reebok–remember that brand?–recently came out with its new EasyTone
sneakers. These women’s shoes are built to tone and firm your bottom while you walk.
WalletPop has a good analysis of what’s behind the butt-firming EasyTone:
These
sneakers apparently build your body 12 different ways,
discount gucci handbags, just like Wonderbread. Reebok claims these
sneakers provide 28 percent more gluteus maximus muscle activation,

Reebok’s site explains that “DMX technology” and “balance pods” are the key. “Air travels between the forefoot and heel pod,

Okay,
gucci kids, here’s what I think they’re saying: The reason these
sneakers give you a better workout is because they throw you off-balance and make it more difficult to walk in them.
Unlike traditional athletic shoes that are built to be stable,
gucci mens sneakers, rocker-sole shoes are deliberately unstable. The effect,
cheap gucci kitbags, companies that make the shoes say,
Gucci Women Sneakers High Line Black/Grey 004, is similar to using a wobble board or balance board in a gym. To stand or walk in these shoes,
Gucci Men Sneakers Low Line Black/White 021, you must engage more muscles than you do using regular shoes,
mens sneakers, the companies say. Manufacturers recommend you wear them during your normal activities,

Reebok commissioned a study from the University of Delaware,
Gucci Women Sneakers Middle Line White 006, which tested five women on a treadmill with electronic sensors on their muscles. Electrical activity in the butt muscles—representing muscle movement—was 28% greater for the EasyTone shoes than for a typical Reebok walking shoe used as a control. Electrical activity was 11% greater for the hamstring and calf muscles while wearing the EasyTones.
