Get Fit For 2011~Skechers Shape Up Review & Giveaway!

                           

 

 

                   

So, you’ve probably heard of Shape Ups from Skechers, but

let me tell you my take on them! Here’s what I learned about Shape Ups~

Burn more calories

Strengthen the back

Firm calf & Buttock muscles

Tone & firm thigh muscles

Increase cardiovascular health

Improve Posture

Reduce joint & back stress

So, they got me at Burn more calories and Tone & firm thigh & buttock muscles!

My Shape Ups came with a nice little booklet called The Shape Ups Guide to Healthy Eating. It started out with a weight chart to help me calculate my proper weight, then it goes on to tell why we are overweight. It listed these reasons~

We eat when we are bored

We eat for pleasure

We eat when we are sad…and when we are happy

As a result, we end up eating all day long

I think they were following me around! No, I have found myself eating for these reasons many times. Bad habits are hard to break, but once we are aware of them we can change them.

The benefits that Sketchers has seen during a 6 week trial~

An average weight loss of 3.25 pounds

An overall reduction of fat of 1.125%

An average improvement of glutei strength by 41%

An average improvement of low back endurance by 37%

 

                         

Women's Shape-Ups - Power Pressed

I was so excited to try out the Shape Ups by Skechers. They have been out for 2 years and I hadn’t tried them. I did purchase a cheap knock off from a our local shoe store, but I didn’t really notice that much difference. But with Shape Ups, wow, did I notice. I took them out for a little walk and when I came home my calves felt the workout! I love that!

I had to learn the proper way to walk in Shape Ups, you do a heel step, then roll forward onto your toes, so it’s kind of a rolling motion. Not to hard to get the hang of!

And yes, I did notice a difference! The back of my legs feel the workout when ever I walk that way in them. They are sooo comfortable too!
