Fit Flops??

I bought a pair of the MBT trainers which are the same sort of thing. I used them for a bit but then they got consigned to the back of the shoe cupboard - they really are a disgusting colour blue.

 

I could really feel them working out my wobbly bits. Didn't persevere with them long enough I don't think. I was looking at the fit flops as I wondered if I would wear them more ie round the house and garden etc.

 

Let me know if you do try them :D

Apparently they're really good. I think it does depend on whether you actually like wearing flipflops.

 

I have a pair of crocs athens flipflops that are really comfy-I bought mine from Jellyegg for £20 in their crocs sale that they had. They still have crocs ithaca flipflops too for only £19.99.

I've got a pair but haven't had much chance to wear them because of the weather! Have worn them today and they've been really comfy, but when I took them off I realised how 'soft' they make the ground feel because without them on felt very rigid. [not sure if that makes sense :? ] I also love flipflops so the bit between my toe didn't bother me. I have a bad knee and have been recommended them as a way of strengthening the muscles around it, time will tell!

I'm fine with flip-flops - it was the 'workout while you work' bit that attracted me (being a lazy person who hates the gym). Think I might go for it. Will be the first non-chicken related thing I've bought in months! :D

 

Will let you all know how I get on (hoping to end up with a bum like Kylie's but I don't think they work miracles :wink: )

I've just ordered some! Anything that stops me from having to do Davina's dvd (actually I've only done it once) but when I get back from walking the dog I really don't want to do any other exercise.

 

Then of course if I do the dvd I don't want to do any housework (which of course I haven't been doing because of the chickens and the forum). Oh dear :roll:

I have some! Given to me by the friend who gave me my MBTs after I demonstrated them at a fitness show for her when she first imported them.

 

I only got them at the weekend and they are very comfortable and seem to make my legs a bit tired, so must be doing something. Bear in mind that I'm pretty fit anyway so the impact on me may be less than on others.

 

Now, all I need to do is to write my review for her.... :roll:

Phonix, They might make your knee problems worse as they work by messing with your natural centre of balance forcing the calf and bottom muscles to compensate.

 

Mine are really comfy but I've had them for over a year and they did make my legs ache at first.

 

I'd love some of the new sparkly ones but I've got the original boyish ones and can't see hubby agreeing to get the girly one for me
