A couple of weeks ago, I wrote on my blog about the best ways to tone up your legs for all the beautiful new shoes that are coming out this season. These included lunges and squats, and I’m sure you‘ve all been dutifully doing these exercises, but I may have found another way to tone your legs that might not be as strenuous.

You might have heard about or seen the ads for Skechers ‘Shape-Up’ shoes. These shoes are designed to tone your leg muscles while you walk. Everyday, we typically walk on hard ground, which places stress on places like the lower back and our knee joints. These shoes are designed so it feels like you’re walking barefoot on soft ground, which means that you use muscles that you probably wouldn’t normally exercise.

There are loads of benefits for these shoes; Skechers claim that they tone your muscles, improve posture and reduce cellulite. All in all, these miracle shoes are likely to improve your stamina and your metabolism. They may take a bit of getting used to at first, but the more you can walk in them the more dramatic the results will be.

You can get them in loads of different styles and colours and at £115; they’re a lot cheaper than a year long gym membership. And let’s be honest, you’ll probably be more likely to put these shoes on and go for a walk than go to the gym. You can just slot them into your normal walking regime, but see great benefits. So why don’t you walk yourself to a better body.
