From England, to the United States, FitFlops have gained a huge following and a great reputation. I first heard about them while watching Oprah and eating a bag of chips. I saw one of the models wearing them and thought they were really cute looking. They mentioned that they were not your typical fashion shoe, but a fitness tool as well. Good for the body, and promoting more calorie burn. I was intrigued. I want a more healthy body, how about you? Then this sandal might be the ticket.
The story goes that two scientists over in England developed the technology behind this footwear. They were testing new ways to make a sandal give a much more challenging workout when walking. What they developed was a new type of sole that and different densities and a base that is unstable. The idea being to make the body discover a natural balance. The name they gave for this technology is called Micro-Wobbleboard. What happens when wearing them is that the legs have to work more while walking to keep stability. The end result is the Fit Flops.
Instability and muscle engagement have been found to increase the tone and fitness of leg muscles. With the added benefit of the shock absorbing sole, they help relieve joint strain while you are burning calories, toning muscles and enhancing natural posture.
The efficiency of wearing a fitness sandal doing regular activities is inherent in the fact that a workout is obtained without the gym. Just put them on and go. Every step you take in your regular daily activity is a mini workout in itself, improving muscle tone and physique.
As far as price is concerned, there are many new fitness shoes on the market, some upwards of $250. These have been reasonably priced at $50 or less, making these sandals a far better bang for the buck. They can be purchased at many large retailers, small shoe shops and online.
So if you want a great workout, that’s healthy for the body, and has a stylish look to them, give the FitFlop a test run.
