Fitness & Toning shoes
Fitness and toning shoes use biomechanics to improve core strength and balance. These specially designed shoes will extend your workout by strengthening your spine, increasing your muscle flexibility, toning your muscles, enhancing your circulation and helping you burn more calories compared to when walking with regular shoes. Fitness shoes and toning shoes have rocker bottoms that force your body balance to shift to a neutral point, correcting your gait and reducing stress on your joints, bones and back. Cogent, New Balance and Earth make rocker shoes that fall into the fitness and toning shoes category. Each brand designs shoes with a different construction to tone your muscles while ease stress on joints. Wearing these shoes can offer a healthier way to walk, but aren’t for everyone. Fitness and toning shoes are beneficial for people with joint pain, however these shoes should not be worn by people with Achilles tendonitis or people with bad balance. Fitness and toning shoes can straighten your posture, promote better breathing and alleviate pain in legs and feet. Please consult your doctor to help you decide if fitness and toning shoes are right for you.
