Do toning sneakers actually build firmer muscles?

by Administrator

In the quest for a fitness regime that can just fold into your regular routine, toning sneakers may seem like an excellent fit just don a pair of PUMA Shoes and while you go about your busy day you can burn more calories, tone muscles and more. In fact, some of the manufacturers of such fitness footwear even point to a pile of studies analyzing everything from reducing the appearance of cellulite to boosting metabolism. Yet, do these claims add up?
To answer that question, the American Council on Exercise, a non-profit health and fitness organization that runs certification programs for personal trainers, fitness instructors and other exercise professionals and often conducts research on consumer fitness and nutrition products, called on researchers from the Exercise and Health Program at the University of Wisconsin, LaCrosse. The team of investigators, led by John Porcari, executive director of the program and a specialist in clinical exercise physiology, focused their research on three fitness Mens PUMA Shoes and Reebok EasyTone. They also included a PUMA Ferrari Shoes to serve as a control.
