Reebok trainers that tone your bum

[weekendwellies]

Have you seen the advert for this?
Apparently wearing these trainers tones your bum while you walk.

#1 daughter informed me yesterday that she would wear them all day everyday and have lots of them in different colours to match whatever outfit she was wearing, if they did that for her bum.


Marketing department done well in my opinion.

PS I doubt very much she will buy any, even so.

I guess these are the same idea as those Fitflops that are on the market - also apparently tone your bum & thighs whilst wearing. Can't say i believe it myself.

I saw the advert and shook my head in disbelief somebody is making a bob or two i suppose..jacob

I asked OH if he would buy me some of those trainers (looked at how much they were about £60-70) and he said 'if they give you a bum like that then yeah!'

I've been wearing MBTs for years and they tone you up a treat but have got ridiculously expensive in the past few years.

Here's an article I found (Where's Nicos the Google Queen anyway)?

MBT shoes: do they actually work? - Features, Health & Families - The Independent

To be fair from what I understand the quality of MBTs has deteriorated in the past few years (mine are about 5 or 6 years old and still going strong) so can't comment on some of the article claims but it lost me slightly when it slated my beloved Birkinstocks as being ugly - I don't agree but then again beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that stuff. I'm a bit dubious about some of the MBT claims and personally don't have a celulite problem so can't comment on that bit but wearing them definitely forces me to have better posture and makes me work harder when I'm just pottering around the shops which are both good things to me

I thought digging, planting, wheelbarrowing etc etc toned yer bum! Hah!

[Paul Wagland]

Surely the only way they can work is by changing the way you walk?

Isn't that likely to be a bad thing....? I wonder what a good chiropractor / chiropodist would make of them.

I tried MBTs a while back and was pretty sure I was walking like Jar Jar Binks

Running or squats tome your bum - and cost nowt.. except some fat and sweat...

[Patchninja]

Yes, surely peeps have un-toned bums because they're too sedentary!
