Clues to Finding the Right Exercise Shoes
This video is from the makers of the Turbo Jam workout and the P90X workout. Even if you don’t have either one of those exercise DVDs, you still might be interested in the differences in exercise shoes.
Even if you’re doing everything else right, your efforts can be undermined by improper footwear. Working out with the wrong shoes increases pounding on the joints, and can lead to injuries like plantar fasciitis or tendinitis. - from www.WebMD.com
I have several pairs of workout shoes in my closet. The pair I choose depends on what workout I’m doing. I have walking, running and bouncing up and down workout shoes. I also have gardening shoes (they haven’t seen much use lately) and shoes from 20 years ago. I suppose my next exercise should be cleaning out my closet or my flower bed.
great clip! So many times I see people running/exercising in old beat up shoes, it is just so frustrating. The feet are the first connection with the ground, we need to pamper them!
thanks for the clip!
@workout mommy- I know what you mean. Not only are they the first connection with the ground but proper shoes will absorb more “shock” that would have gone into the joints. The older I get, the more important this is to me - but even in my younger aerobic-flashdance-leg-warmer-wearing days I would still get shin splints occasionally. That’s when I realized the importance of the proper shoe (and the right color leg warmer)
