Reebok Easytone Go Outside 11 training shoe

Since becoming the proud owner of a pair of Reebok Easytone Go Outside 11 training shoes, I have to say I have become a complete addict to the extent that our youngest daughter now says, "You're not wearing those again, Mum!"

Having gained a few pounds (or some would say more than a few) in recent years and desperate to regain tone and posture to an indulged body, I still needed convincing that the  Reebok Easytone Go Outside 11 training shoes would produce, as the literature claimed "... a better butt and legs with every step." I thought I had nothing to lose and lots to gain – or hopefully the opposite.

When the trainers arrived and I looked at them I wondered what all the fuss was about. They appear externally to be no different from any other well made, soft topped trainer but inside and underneath is where that changes. The EasyTones have pockets of air in the heel and sole that might make you feel a little unstable at first. My toes also tingled (but that might just be me) and I took it as a good sign. This technology is what we are told helps to improve the muscle tone in the glutes, calves, and hamstrings.

It took me a little time to get used to the different sensation but amazingly I can feel the difference. After a few days (gradually building up to full time wear) I began to feel the positive effects particularly in the toning of my bottom and calves. Even after a Saturday morning running up and down the side of a hockey pitch supporting my daughter I felt good. My step had a lively spring to it. Is this really me talking?

These trainers are very comfortable and have definitely improved my posture. I am also beginning to reap the benefits from the toning effects on other parts of my body too not just my legs and bottom.

Reebok Easytone Outdoor II training shoes are priced at around £70. There are a number of special offers at the moment, so hunt around. Even at this price they are still very good value and for once, at least for me, “They did what it said on the box”.
