It doesn’t seem like very long ago that Reebok were getting everyone out of the gym by turning everyday walking into a muscle toning workout thanks to their Reebok zigtech shoes. The highly stylish toner shoes were an instant hit with women looking to get in shape faster and get more rewards from the time they spent exercising. What made them such a bestselling style was their ability to convert dead time into toning time, making a day long workout a possibility without having to go to the gym, or have the expense that accompanies it. Whenever walking the dog, walking to work, or running for the bus, the muscles get better body tone as they work harder with each step.

The designers of Reebok have engineered a shoe that gives you the feeling that you are walking on a dry sandy beach. That is a nice idea, but there is some solid science behind this. Think about the last time you walked on a soft sandy beach, it was hard to keep your balance and you had to move around quite a bit to keep your balance. Reebok has developed their own proprietary technology to take advantage of the benefits of instability training here with this shoe. The Reebok Easytone features built in balance pods near the top of the sole and heel to give you a natural instability as you walk.

For no-frills exercise, there re models other than the Reebok recumbent exercise bike which are more focused on the health and fitness portion of an exercise routine. For some this is preferable, but in many exercise bike reviews, the distraction of games to play has shown itself to be an appealing feature for amateur users. At the other end of the spectrum, the Cateye Gamebike weaves the experience of popular video games into the workout routine, almost taking a user Reebok ZigTech shoes away from the fact of a physical workout entirely, as they race or drive through games they’ve enjoyed with conventional gamepads for years.
