skechers shapeup/reebok easytone: how effective?

[glutagirl]

tumawag kasi ako sa skechers kanina mas effective daw ang shape ups kesa tone ups. e namamahalan ako masyado parang 2 pairs of shoes na mabibili ko sa shape ups. nakakaimprove talaga ng posture sis kahit fitflops or tone ups lang? kulit ko. hows your experience?

Can pregnant women use this?

i hope makakabili ako ng shape-ups.. mahilig akong maglakad2 kaso sumasakit iyong knees ko especially pag whole day akong maglakad2... nakaka-engganyo ang mga posts dito..
btw, did you lose some weight mga sis while wearing shape-ups?

sisses, may runtone ang reebok.  parang easytone pero this one is specially designed for running and workouts.

The first time I used yung Shape Up eh na-feel ko talaga yung upper thigh ko and butt na nagtetense. I guess it does work.

But I have been using it for awhile na so wala na akong nararamdaman sa legs ko. Siguro na-strenghten na ang mga muscles ko.

Recently lang,during our Disney Trip... the first 2 days eh regular rubber shoes lang ang ginamit ko at pagkagabi eh super pagod ako, masakit na ang mga binti ko eh ang sakit pa ng balakang ko kakalakad. Pero on the third day eh nagpalit ako ng shoes at ginamit ko yung Shape Up, and I notice agad na parang mas magaan ihakbang at hindi sumakit legs ko at lower back pagkagabi, pagod pa rin ako kakalakad maghapon... pero hindi na unlike the first two days na super pagod. Duon ko na-proove na Shape Up does work pala talaga.

research from the american council on exercise on "toning shoes."

"And although the toning shoes don’t deliver on their advertised claims, Porcari mentions there may be potential that these shoes could improve wearer’s balance over time, but that too will require a long-term training study.

"These shoes may be encouraging a fair number of people who probably wouldn’t put on a normal pair of walking shoes and go out and walk, to do so because they think they’re getting some super toning effect,” says Bryant. “So if you want to look at a positive, it’s probably serving as a bit of a motivator to get a group of inactive individuals to at least get up and get moving.”

i bought my shape-ups about 2 months ago. naisip ko na ipag-sabay ang shape-ups sa first er duty ko. haha. i now believe hindi siya pwede for running. the first time i used them i had to run because of an emergency case in the er and around 50meters, i could already feel the strain on my calves. after that, i used them for brisk walking and they are super effective. i'm flatfooted kasi and my feet hurt a lot after walking and standing up for long periods of time. they're okay now. i'm looking to buy another pair since i end up using my shape-ups everyday now. hehe.

as for shaping the legs, my legs did get thinner and generally i got thinner but maybe it's because of my med rotation duties and not the shoes. the shoes really help when walking around though. the 4k++ is definitely worth it for me.

wow! Anlaking tipid. Parang gusto ko ng isa pa hahaha gusto ko ng black para hindi mukhang rubber shoes. Sarap sa paa. I could go malling the whole day ng hindi sumasakit ang paa.

[petlovah]

wala bang sale nito ngaun? i really wanted to buy one na [textspeak!].. 

[omneecka]

i was able to buy skechers shape-up (the old style/version) last October during the megamall sale, got it at less 10% and another less 10% as i bought it within the first two hours of the first day of the sale (for those with sm advantage card).

masakit toh sa paa if u will keep on standing so u really need to walk para ma-ease ang pain. too bad, available na pala yung skechers shape-up na pwedeng pang-running at the same time..

=)

[jaded1025]

Parang gusto ko nadin bumili nito, flatfooted din kasi ako.

[babycruz]

i bought one last xmas..
kung lakad lakad lang sa mall, all day hindi sasakit paa mo.
but i tried it last time sa ccp...takbo lakad, 2 ikot lang masakit na paa ko..
later i found out na lakad lang dapat...so itried it again last sunday...
pero masakit pa rin sa paa!!! bakit ganun???
pero kahit maghapon ako maglakad sa mall ok lang....
i also used the dvd free inside the box..worth trying 5 mins - 15mins - 30 mins...pawis talaga ko!!!

[micrones]

[rinapie]
