ajm200 Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Have you seen this on the fitflop site - an opportunity to win fitflops Do the FitFlop Bottom Blaster Challenge. The bottom line: It only takes a pair of FitFlops and a set of stairs to lift, shape and tighten your tush! Just find a long set of stairs somewhere, put your FitFlops on, and climb them two at a time (clenching and squeezing your bottom as you go). This will challenge the hip extensor muscles (the hamstrings and glutes) by stimulating them with a bigger load, and also a longer activation time. Start with 10 big steps a day and work up to 20, 40, or 100 a day. You might feel it necessary to use a handrail to steady yourself- after all, FitFlops do have that built-in wobbleboard effect- at first, or even forever. Whatever works for you. KNEE Note: If you lean forward more it should reduce stress on your knees. Standing upright will work the quadriceps more, but add stress on the knee. (So if you’re weak in the knees, single steps up are your safest bet!) EMAIL DEEPA (she’s keeping count, deepa@thefitflop.com) IF YOU MANAGE to do 100 steps 7 days in a row. We want to know! (All those who complete our Bottom Blaster Challenge will have a chance to win one of 10 free pairs of FitFlops. So go on, get out there and climb!) P.S.

ajm200 Posted July 15, 2008 Author Share Posted July 15, 2008 I have to say that I won't be taking part although I love my fitflops and could probably meet that challenge. I've been ordered to rest by the Dr after some dizzy spells and fainting.. which is why I've had time to be on the forum for once Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I hope you feel better soon Ok I might try this as I don't really think my fitflops are doing anything to the horrible mess that are my thighs and bottom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faye&Ant Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 just the exercise alone would help tone so not sure you need the fitflops really. Of course if anyone can prove me wrong....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
