Do Skechers Shape Ups Work?

!±8± Do Skechers Shape Ups Work?

Are you looking for a quick and easy way of getting in shape? And have your heard of Skechers Shape Ups that promise you to get in shape fast without going to the gym? It sounds almost too good to be true. But do they actually work? This article will help you answer these questions and you will also find out where to learn more about Skechers Shape Ups and read more about these fabulous shoes.

What is Skechers Shape Ups

Skechers Shape Ups is a shoe that is designed to imitate walking barefoot on soft sand. Walking on softer, uneven surfaces forces you to engage muscles that are not usually used when you are walking on hard ground. Therefore, you will activate muscles that are not usually engaged with regular walking shoes. Skechers Shape Ups have many advantages and here are some of them listed:

Promote weight loss Strengthen the back Firm calf and buttock muscles Increase cardiovascular health Improve posture Reduce stress on joints Relieve muscle tension and fatigue

Skechers Shape Ups - Do they work?

I bought my first pair of Skechers Shape Ups right after having a baby, so I was not in a great shape at the time. I wanted to give these shoes a try, as I thought it could be a great way to optimize my frequent trips around with my baby in a stroller. And I was amazed the first time I stepped into them. I still don't feel like taking them off.

The immediate feeling when you put on your Shape Ups is that they do improve posture. I have never felt such an upright position before. So if you have a tendency to slouch then these shoes are great for making you hold your head high. As mentioned, I had some post birth weight to get rid off, and after only 10 minutes of walking I could feel my muscles working much more intensely than in regular trainers. My calf muscles and thighs were actually feeling a bit sore after only a short walk. And after the walk, I was a bit sore in the back, probably because I wasn't used to walking so upright. This also had a great effect on the abdominal muscles as they help you maintain balanced while walking in such a straight position.

The shoes are so light-weight and they make you feel light and bouncy when wearing them. So it is very easy to walk fast and get a steady pace. So they are great if you want a good cardio workout during your walk. I also wear them at home around the house, just to get an additional effect when I walk around the house or doing house work. The only minus is that they are not very fashionable, but once you got the hang of them this doesn't seem to matter so much anymore. I know I am converted and I hardly want to wear anything else anymore. Luckily they are now made in so many different models and designs so it is easy to find something to fit your taste.

Shape Up Tone Up - Reality Or Gimmick?

!±8± Shape Up Tone Up - Reality Or Gimmick?

Alright I have to be honest here, when Skechers first came out with, "Shape Ups" I thought what kind of new gimmick have they come up with now. Well. I am now eating my words and not just because of personal experience. Sorry, I guess sometimes some of us, (yes including me) tend to prejudge a product classify it as a gimmick, and toss it aside before we even check it out. I'm glad I don't do that with food. Can you imagine?

So how did prejudging, are you kidding me, come to try out these very innovative shoes, (this will definitely make you laugh) I went to go grab something to eat with a few girlfriends of mine at a local grill. We were waiting on our order and were kind of glancing around the room. It wasn't very crowded but everyone seemed to be huddled in one area. When I looked over to see what my friends were checking out, please realize 2 of us over the 50 mark, (but a far cry from dead) and one over 30, we were all looking at the guy in front of us, backend. We all started cracking up as we realized what was happening, and much to our dismay he turned around and caught us in the act. Turned out it was someone we used to work with which was really embarrassing. We had a good laugh and started chatting. When I looked down, (to the floor not his backside) I noticed his shoes. They reminded me of Shape Ups but didn't look like sneakers number one, and two they were pretty sharp looking.

When I asked, he told me that they were absolutely Skechers Shape Ups, and although that wasn't the entire reason for our stares, they definitely helped. I quickly change the subject, we had our dinner, and home we went.

When I got home I immediately went to the computer to find out what I was missing out on and was shocked at all the different styles, colors, and other companies that were available. Shoot if they could do that for him, (also over the 50 mark), they surely couldn't hurt my wide side.

When I looked at the reviews there was a lot of different comments, mostly good, but a few stating about sore muscles, backs, etc. This concerned me due to I have had several knee and back surgeries, (let's not go there). I figured what the heck if they hurt they'll be in the closet with the rest of the shoes I never wear. You have to understand I'm a boot and sneakers person, that's it. Comfort is the only thought basically when it comes to shoes.

I now have three pair, (not all Skechers) but they are my favorite, and several of my friends own a pair and love them. Of course when I first got them I went to the mall for hours and much to my amazement woke up with sore muscles, (but my feet didn't hurt). So don't try to be a superhero and wear them for 8 hours the first time. Will they give you a body like Julia Roberts, or Britney, or Brad Pitt, (sorry almost forget you guys)? Sure if you eat and work out like they do, (kidding). But what they will do is tone and shape up some of those muscles that don't get the attention they deserve. And if that wasn't enough now, (had them for several months) I feel like I have more stamina, and that's a great thing when your shopping, or doing anything else for that matter.

Oh yeah, and guys they definitely help. Thanks Skechers!
