Reebok EasyTone Shoes Promise to Tone Your Butt. Fad Alert,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
Reebok–remember that brand?–recently came out with its new EasyTone sneakers. These women’s shoes are built to tone and firm your bottom while you walk. WalletPop has a good analysis of what’s behind the butt-firming EasyTone:
These sneakers apparently build your body 12 different ways,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], just like Wonderbread. Reebok claims these sneakers provide 28 percent more gluteus maximus muscle activation,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and 11% more calf and hamstring activation.
Reebok’s site explains that “DMX technology” and “balance pods” are the key. “Air travels between the forefoot and heel pod,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], creating super soft cushioning. The moving air creates a natural instability and forces your muscles to adapt to the air volume within the pods.”
Okay,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], here’s what I think they’re saying: The reason these sneakers give you a better workout is because they throw you off-balance and make it more difficult to walk in them.
Unlike traditional athletic shoes that are built to be stable,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], rocker-sole shoes are deliberately unstable. The effect,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], companies that make the shoes say,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], is similar to using a wobble board or balance board in a gym. To stand or walk in these shoes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you must engage more muscles than you do using regular shoes, the companies say. Manufacturers recommend you wear them during your normal activities,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], starting with short periods until you get used to them.
Reebok commissioned a study from the University of Delaware,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which tested five women on a treadmill with electronic sensors on their muscles. Electrical activity in the butt muscles—representing muscle movement—was 28% greater for the EasyTone shoes than for a typical Reebok walking shoe used as a control. Electrical activity was 11% greater for the hamstring and calf muscles while wearing the EasyTones.
