This Season’s Workout Gear Will Put a “Spring” in Your Step!
Spring has sprung, and you know what that means: It’s time to get up, get out there, and get fit! Let the warm weather inspire you to take on a new, healthy, more active lifestyle. Regular exercise is known to release endorphins, relieving stress and giving you a positive outlook. So, to match your new springtime fitness routine, you may want to consider these attractive alternatives to your everyday workout gear. Because after all, who doesn’t want to look and feel good on the inside and the outside?
Running/Workout Sneakers
Whether on the roads, on the trails, or in the gym, these heavy duty sneakers will keep you balanced, stable, and pushing your limits.
This high-performance running sneaker by UK Gear has a daring splash of red and bold geometric shapes, making it look sporty and stylish, all while giving you the highest durability and support. UK Gear shoes are produced in association with the British army, so you can count on them for long-lasting performance.
These sneakers from PUMA are designed for running, whether it be on the treadmill or the trail. Extra padding and the specialized heel provide shock absorption, and the sole supplies traction, all while adding a fun burst of color to less-than-typical white sneakers.
Other color: White/Violet/Hot Pink
PUMA Ezella Lite sneakers are made of light and breathable mesh and are for the less hardcore runner than the previous two styles. Their offbeat, casual look will take you easily from a brisk day at the gym to out on the town.
Other color: White/Black/Pink
Walking Sneakers
For the more casual get-fit routine, a fun, funky walking sneaker is just the thing to help you maintain that brisk pace!
Comfortable and lightweight, these bright orange sneaks from Gola will make you want to put them on and head out the door!
A little more streamlined and less hearty than your average K-Swiss, this limited edition sneaker is perfect for the casual, fashion-conscious walker.
This PUMA Speeder has a classic shape, is made of lightweight mesh, and is designed with the light jogger in mind. As an added bonus, it comes in a huge selection of funky color combinations, so this shoe transitions easily into your casual attire.
Other colors: Black/Pink, Coffee/Purple, White/Black/Green, White/Red
Toning Sandals
If you want to keep toning those legs and thighs even during your non-exercise routine, try these shaping sandals, the more summery sister to the recently popular shaping sneakers.
The Reebok Easytone Flip Flops share the same toning technology as their sneaker counterparts. Large pods of air act similarly to gym stability balls, which encourage additional muscle fibers to work as you move. These turn any mundane activity into a light workout at the gym.
Other colors: White/Purple, White/Champagne
FitFlop sandals are built with patent pending microwobbleboard TM midsole technology, which engage your leg and bottom muscles as you move. These shoes have provided proven relief to those suffering from plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, chronic back pain, sciatica, osteoarthritis, lower limb oedema and RLS. Plus, far from looking like orthopedic shoes, these actually come in a rainbow of colors!
Other colors: Black/White, Blue/White, Bronze, Gold, Lipstick/White, Oyster, Pistachio/White, Silver, Strawberry/White
So, there you have it: Everything you need to tone and sculpt that body for bathing suit weather. All you need to supply is the motivation. Only a couple more months until summer, so I’ll see you then on the beach!
