Sports giants Reebok recently brought out a range of trainers designed to improve toning in the legs and bum. They called the range ‘easytone’, which spanned from the concept of the shoe. The trainers are designed with a convex sole which creates instability; it forces the foot to balance on a smaller surface area than usual. This means the leg is constantly trying to find a balance point and keeps the muscles working on a small scale, even while walking.
The model and actress is the face of the new line of trainers said to improve toning in the legs and bum via a unique unstable sole. She will also be their spokeswoman for their new Jukari Fit to Flex workout. Reebok created the workout with inspiration from the performances of Cirque du Soleil. It targets core muscles and the upper body by using a lightweight elastic band that can be used in a variety of ways.
But Reebok specifically warn that the trainers are not to be worn during sporting activities in which the body endures side to side movement as it can cause damage to the ankle due to a lack of lateral support.
So it’s like wearing a permanent wobble board you might find in a gym, and f you have ever tried one of those you will know that it certainly gives you enough of a workout. But does such a small difference in a shoe really make a difference to your workout?
Kelly recently launched a movie career and is starring in the film Piranha 3D. She only studied at drama school for three years when she was younger but said this started her love of dancing, which she still does to keep in shape.
She said, “I have always been energetic and active and I’ve always loved dancing. I’ve been surrounded by people into fitness and health for a long time, so have always been conscious about what I put in my body. I’m also aware of keeping myself in shape for my job and general lifestyle.
Consumers can get their hand on the easytone trainers in stores and online and there is rumour of a extended Reebok easytone due next year.
