Walking and brisk walking are great ways to burn off calories and keep fit! Brisk walking 20 minutes every day helps you burn up to 200 calories and reduces body fat. Walking can also lower your cholesterol levels and decrease the risks for cardiovascular diseases.
I have recently discovered the combined benefits of walking with the new Natural Stride™ Technology in Shape-ups Liv by SKECHERS, ultra-lightweight toning shoe.
(Mademoiselle Slimalicious exercising at the local oval, after work)
The Skechers Shape-up Liv design is meant for walking, running and comfort wear.The Skechers Shape-up Liv are designed to enhance the benefits of walking. The LIV uses a rocker sole for toning, but the motion and appearance are much more muted from the original Shape-ups designs.
Why I love SKECHERS Shape-ups Liv
- Intuitive motion: curved bottom that guides you back to the body's barefoot stride
- Toning: your stride is adjusted so the motion of each step naturally aligns your body's center of gravity and promotes fluid transitions
- Toning: your stride is adjusted so the motion of each step naturally aligns your body's center of gravity and promotes fluid transitions
- Comfort: Lightweight, flexible with a cushioned base that protects your joints. These are a joy to slip into and easy to walk in.
- Multifunction: you can wear SKECHERS Shape-ups Liv to walk, jog or even run!
- Multifunction: you can wear SKECHERS Shape-ups Liv to walk, jog or even run!
Mademoiselle Slimalicious' Verdict
These trainers make walking and running easier and help cushion your joints from impact. I can’t say they have toned me just by wearing them; but as they encourage me to move more and push me to jog further they are definitely worth buying! They are also just amazing to wear every day for support while you walk. And they look good!

ReplyDeleteBefore I had my kids I used to run every morning before work, now that I have 3 kids under 4 it is not that easy so I can use all the help I can get! (Yes having twins has left me with some weight to spare) Does wearing shape-ups mean I can halve my exercise time? That would be just brilliant.

ReplyDeleteI like the Shape-ups Kinetix. They look like they would give good support for me having a bad back. I think they would cushion the impact quite well.
ReplyDeleteWomens Fitness Liv for me -
ReplyDeleteIn "Fearless Coral" I'd run free;
A look-good, feel-good, do-good treat
For happy body and happy feet!
Womens fitness Liv in Fearless Blue/Lime, they do look really great,
ReplyDeleteIm in desperate need of new running shoes, my old ones I hate.
Womens fitness Liv - Smart Black/Hot Pink
ReplyDeleteI love that it naturally aligns your body's center of gravity giving you fluidity in your movement with each step & its suitable for different types of activity which is cool because I do enjoy walking especially living near the river & beach but I'd love to challenge my body to jog or run knowing that I'm wearing a supportive comfortable lightweight shoe with a cushioned base that protects my joints that's reassuring that I can achieve a toned body while exercise safely
Shape-ups Liv of course!!! the black ones with the pink sole are divine, my two fave colours!!

ReplyDeleteSkechers have some good looking comfortable shoes. Womens lifestyle Sassies in grey and Womens lifestyle Jubilee-Be Mine Red appeal to me. However some easy on the feet Fitness Liv - Smart Black/Hot Pink would be lovely for getting a bit more out of my daily walk.

LOVE the Bobs range- and wasn't even aware until I visited just now that this range had the buy one donate one policy (donating a pair of shoes to a child in need for every pair bought). New level of respect for the company!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite Skechers product is actually the Shape-ups Liv there so light weight and super comfortable!
ReplyDeleteThey make you feel like your walking on air, it' just like putting a sock on. These pairs are the best sports shoes ever. Also the bonus is you can lose calories by just walking in them how simple!

I've never worn a pair of Skechers before, but the Womens fitness Tone-ups - Run Grey/Aqua look awesome!
ReplyDeleteWomens lifestyle Bikers - Proposal Black: Once owned a similar pair and were so neutral, went with everything. The best thing being they looked great but were also extremely comfortable.
ReplyDeleteI've never worn Skechers before, but these ones sound great! Just the edge I need to push myself on walks and runs and they look casual enough to wear on my way to university without having to change afterwards. Great design!

ReplyDeleteI have always had a thing for Sketchers- just wearing a pair makes me feel younger, the name is cute, the styles are young and sweet and they are sooo dang comfy!
ReplyDeleteI fell for the Libertines in Boticelli Black straight away- comfy but classy looking, they'd go well with jeans or cute skirt.
My favourite is Womens fitness Shape-ups Kinetix in White and Purple. Firstly because of the look (I have to be honest) and secondly because I think they will motivate me to get moving! I couldn't leave a pair of Sketchers just sitting under the bed!
