If you like to stay in shape but don't aspire to being a fitness fanatic or can't face the thought of endless hours down the gym or evenings spent running around the block, there may be a straightforward solution, in the form of simply changing your footwear. Fitflop trainers make it easy to stay in shape by giving you a workout whilst you walk, but if you still need convincing here are the top five reason to wear fitflops:
1) Work out whilst you walk - wearing a fitflop trainer or other shoe will give your body a workout without you even realising it as they incorporate micro-wobbleboardTM technology to challenge the support and balance the foot and leg muscles.
2) Stimulate hard-to-reach muscles - with their multi-density midsole these shoes increase the hamstring, thigh and calf muscle response, stimulating those hard to reach muscles simply by wearing them whilst you go about your daily activities.
3) Trim your legs - studies have shown that the fitflop midsole extends the length of time that the slow twitch muscles (which produce energy by turning fats into energy aerobically) are used with each step. This means that simply by wearing a pair of fitflop trainers you can be getting more exercise as you go about your normal routine!
4) Work your thigh and bum muscles - the muscles in your thighs and bottom are also activated for longer periods of time when wearing a fitflop trainer, than when wearing ordinary shoes or walking barefoot.
5) And whilst talking of 'barefoot'. when wearing these shoes your gait becomes very similar to that of a barefoot walker, combine this with the added comfort of the cushioned midsole and you have a shoe that not only keeps you in shape but can also help alleviate back pain.
With styles ranging from winter boots to summer sandals, for both men and women, fitflop shoes are a great way to look good and workout at the same time. So, whether you choose fitflop trainers or a more summery style, you can be sure that your muscles will get a workout.
