"We Are The New Vintage"
Fitness Blog---The best shoes--the foundation
I know you want to hear about what exercises to do, what to eat etc, but you need to have all your bases covered before you workout!
People underestimate the importance of a good workout shoe. It is very important to have the correct shoe for the activity you are performing AND you need to replace them often! If you are using your shoes everyday to workout, they need to be replaced every 6 months. (or roughly 300 miles) So what is 300 miles? Figure if you run 3 miles 4 times a week that equals 25 weeks of use. What if you aren't running and are doing some other exercise? Then just use common sense, are you doing more than the equivalent of 3 miles 4 times a week? Now how many of us have nasty gym shoes that are over a year old??? You need to replace your shoes to help avoid injury, shoes provide support for your joints, not only to make your feet feel comfortable. So if you aren't wearing the proper shoes to workout, you will almost certainly experience knee pain after your workout.
Here are my favorite shoes, of course everyone's feet are different. I primarily workout in the gym and these are the best cross trainers I have come across. Cross trainers do not mean they are for any activity. Cross trainers are for lateral movements (not running which is just backward and forward motion) cross trainers are for side to side movements, pivoting, etc. I teach cardio kickboxing and these are perfect. They even have a pivot point on the bottom and smoothISH tread so that it is not too grippy on the floor.
Nike Shox Electro
These are on clearance for $73.99 at the Nike website, I already have a pair and will be getting another because they are soooo fantastic. If you do any classes of any sort at the gym you will be thrilled to have these. Trust me. Everyone I have recommended them to adores them. But it seems you can only get them on clearance on every website now, so get them before they are gone!!
They run pretty true to size, maybe a little narrow so you might want to consider a half size up.

Now here is a subject near and dear to my heart. I've got really messed up feet. When I was in the Army I blew out the bursa pads on the bottom of my feet and I'm basically stuck with wearing ugly shoes for the rest of my life.
Anyway, for exercise I use Brooks Beast. I went in to a specialty shoe store and told the guy my issues. He sent me to a competitor to get the Beasts since he didn't carry them. So far, so good.

Thanks! Great idea for fitness blog- anyone in london runners need in camden is best for training shoes as they give personal advice, although running down the road is a bit embarrassing! I'm about to start a burlesque course with a show mid Dec. Any tips on how to loose 7lbs in that time?
