I don't generally write about a specific bodypart, but I was inspired to by the recent development of companies selling booty developing sneakers claiming to "support make your legs and butt look great..." The Reebok "EasyTone" sneaker probably being the very best known, but there are others. The Reebok version claiming to be based on "balance ball technology" and "tones your butt up to 28% more just by walking." I'm positive several of you have observed the commercial, but if not, do a search on YouTube for "easytone" and it will pop up.
Increased possible for Injuries?
One more essential concern here is, do these shoes improve the prospective for injuries? A web-site reviewing these sneakers says "... the shoes activate your lower body muscles when you walk making natural instability which in turn tones your legs "
Natural instability? Women are already at greater risk of knee injuries, and adding instability to the foot, which will improve instability to the joints and ligaments of the ankles and knees, will only enhance the prospective for injury to women. Bad idea...
A slight improve in activity of the muscles of the legs and butt due to the added instability is not worth the potential increased threat of injury.
I see that commercial on Television and I want her to ditch those goofy sneakers and uncover the nearest squat rack! So back to reality: if you want a well developed shapely athletic butt and legs, no pair of sneakers is going to give it to you. Like any muscle, you will have to create it the old fashioned way via workouts such as squats, lunges, split squats, and straight leg deadlifts.
As with any bodypart, some are a lot more genetically gifted in that area then others, but make no mistake, any individual can develop a firm nicely shaped booty with the proper option of exercises, consistency, and other variables (i.e., superior nutrition so stated booty is not just made of muscle blurring blubber!).
Sorry, no sneaker is gonna do that for you...What's a good booty look like as a result of suitable coaching, nutrition, and consistency? Appear up vids and pics of men and women such as nicely recognized fitness/figure model Monica Brant performing Straight leg deadlifts, and to paraphrase the classic line from the 80's movie Crocodile Dundee, "That's not an a booty.. now THAT's an booty!"
As a final comment regarding the Reebok commercial. If you are going sell a shoe that (supposedly...) shapes up your gluteus maximus, shouldn't you use a model that has one?! Holy Flat Backsides Batman! This gal has practically no butt. Now I'm not hating on her she's a quite fairly girl - and for a typical Tv model sort - in good shape, but she has no a$$! I mean actually, is that the behind most females truly want right now? Or put much more succinctly, is that what the general non-athletic public considers a well developed booty?!
If you want to see far more physical exercise vids, some of which will also support with your backside, see my video section of the BrinkZone web web site as nicely articles on weight loss, fitness, and health: http://www.BrinkZone.com.
See you in the gym ladies!
