Get A Lower Body Winter Workout
Posted in Womens World on October 31st, 2010 by authorFrom the moment that they were launched in 2007, Fit Flops sandals have proved to be a firm favourite with women everywhere. The sandals in the range combine fashion style and colour with muscle toning abilities. The specially shaped sole increases muscle activity in the calves by as much as 11%, the hamstrings by up to 16% and the buttocks by as much as 30% in comparison with conventional fitness footwear.
Many people will find the notion of getting a free “workout while you walk” very appealing. However, it’s probably true to say that there are many who are happy to choose from the range of sandals purely on the basis that they are so colourful, fashionable, and comfortable to walk in.
However, sandals aren’t exactly the ideal form of footwear in most countries when the cold winter weather arrives. Fitflops fans must have been delighted when clogs, boots, slippers and, most recently, sneakers, were added to the range in response to customer demand. Now you can benefit from a free lower body workout without your toes getting frozen.
Both calf and ankle boots sell very well throughout the winter months. Water and stain resistant leather and suede are used for the uppers with a snug sheepskin lining to keep your feet nice and warm in the cold weather. They use s similar shaped sole to provide all the same toning benefits of the sandals, but anti-slip rubber to provide good, secure grip in wet and icy conditions is also incorporated.
In addition to leather and suede boots, potential customers can choose from trendy metallic silver, black or bronze “Snugger” boots which are ideal for cold, icy winter days. They are water resistant, with a metallic finish, and have a good grip to cope with snowy or icy ground conditions.
And when you do get back home and kick off your boots you can still get the benefit of Fitflops toning abilities by slipping into a pair of Ultra Lounge slippers. They are great for use indoors and include a cosy fake fur lining to keep you warm on a cold winter’s evening.
If the idea of slipping your feet into a pair of these winter boots or slippers has you looking forward to winter, then perhaps the very latest addition to the 2010 range could be just what you need whilst you wait for the cold weather to arrive. The very latest offering from Fitflops is a range of sneakers – cunningly designed to disguise the toning sole and available in a wide choice of colours. No one will ever know that you’re benefiting from a free lower body workout just by walking around as normal.
