You may have already heard the hype about Reebok’s Easytone trainers, but you may struggle to believe claims that the new technology in footwear is better than exercise. Reebok’s study demonstrated that the trainers promote up to 28% more muscle activation in the hamstrings, calves and bum.
Air filled pods and a convex sole are the secret to Reebok’s new technology. This causes instability, forcing the foot to balance on a smaller area than usual, and in the process causing the muscles to work harder. Therefore better muscle definition, improved muscle strength, increased stamina and a better conditioning of the body can potentially be achieved by wearing the trainers.
The University of Wisconsin set out to test this theory by studying two groups of women when they exercised; one group wearing the Easytone and one group wearing regular trainers. The scientists did notice a small degree of toning of the legs and bum, yet they were unsure whether this was a result of the Easytones, or the subjects increased motivation to walk and exercise. This throws question on the claim that the trainers tone with limited exercise.
The truth is that Easytone are not a miracle way to achieve peak physical fitness. Exercise is the essential factor in this equation and is the only way to successfully lose weight or shape up. Experts recommend eating a balanced diet and doing cardio and strength workouts such as running or cycling in or out of the gym.
So they’re not a miracle solution or alternative to exercise, but wearing the Easytones for all your normal activities such as going shopping, walking around the house and walking the dog will undoubtedly make your bum and legs slightly firmer and more toned. Reebok Easytones are a fashionable and functional way to supplement exercise and a healthy lifestyle.
