Earth Shoes--Burn Extra Calories & Feel the Difference

Yesterday I did an ab cameo with Tracey Mallet in her new workout video. I had a great time and met some awesome fit mamas. She gave me and everyone else that participated free Earth Footwear for the workout. My workout didn't require shoes because it was all about getting your abs in shape after baby, so today was the first time I've worn them. I did a workout video and wore them around the house and boy can I feel a difference!

Earth Footwear give you the sensation of leaning backwards, so you feel like you are walking on an inclined teadmill. According to their website, it's called Kalsø® Negative Heel Technology® – a unique inclined sole that positions the toes 3.7º higher than the heels. The slight angle shifts weight subtly back over the heels, and can help strengthen and tone the body while also burning calories. My workout was so much harder that I was sweating bullets after five minutes.

I've ran across alot of moms on my site that are frustrated by a lack of time to workout. I understand that when you have children, time for yourself gets scarce, so as moms we just have to get creative. Now that I've experienced them, Earth Footwear are a great way to add in a workout without having to think about it. I was happy to learn that they also come in sandals, boots and casual wear. So go check them out and let me know what you think.
