Trim Treads!

Good Morning my lovely's! I am glad that you could join me!

Ok, so while I was on-line reading some of my most favorite blogs I came across the funniest looking shoe...It caught my eye immediately. I kinda laughed when I first saw it, thinking that maybe it was just some hip new clog or something. Then I went to the website and started to read about them. Boy was I surprised! I knew that I just had to try this shoe out for myself so I went for it. So what shoe am I talking about? Trim Treads!


Wear TrimTreads just 30 minutes a day for...
lifted buns
toned legs
a stronger core
better circulation
perfect posture
improved balance
burning calories



I will admit. They do look funny!


How They Work
When you wear Trim Treads, the motion when walking is similar to that of balancing in combination with using a StairMaster; while staying balanced in these shoes, you can concentrate on different muscles that are not normally used when wearing every day fitness shoes. Trim Treads are an affordable way to work out and are cut so dramatically so that your body gets more activity in less time. The shoes provide people with an effortless and inexpensive way to trim their bodies when they don't have the time or money to devote to the gym.
The deep vein pumping action that occurs with every step taken can significantly reduce the onset of varicose and spider veins. Wearing the shoes can also diminish existing cellulite and prevent it from developing, and can help ease lower back pain, swelling in the arms and legs, and the discomfort of plantar fascists.
The steps are simple; if you wear the shoes for 30 minutes a day while standing and going about everyday activities you can lift your buns, tone your legs and strengthen your core. The shoes work by encouraging balance on the flat part of the shoe under the ball of your foot, which engages the muscles in your legs, buttocks and core. Trim Treads shape your body and burn more calories than ordinary workout shoes. Trim Treads offer more benefits in less time and at a much more affordable price.





When Walking:
Walk as you normally would, allowing your knees and ankles to move and flex freely. Focus on balancing on the flat part of the shoe under the ball of your foot without allowing the heel or toe of the shoe to touch the ground. However, feel free to mix it up a bit. To work your calves, hamstrings, thighs and buttocks more aggressively, you may take exaggerated heel to toe steps, rocking from all the way back on your heel and then forward onto your toe.



When Standing:Basic Stance:
When standing there are a variety of different things you can do to target and engage different muscles. First, you can focus on balancing on the flat part of the shoe under the ball of your foot. Stand with your feet parallel to the ground, just as if you were barefooted. While standing, your body has a tendency to want to rock back or roll forward. The effort exerted to maintain balance on the platform under the ball of your foot allows you to engage and tone muscles in your core and lower extremities that are not ordinarily used. Benefits of this exercise include greatly improved balance and inner core strength, better posture, as well as the muscle toning benefits of wearing the shoes. Advanced users may try standing and balancing on one foot at a time for short intervals to increase and enhance these same benefits.


Heel & Toe Lifts:
To target the muscles on the back side of your legs, from your ankles to your buttocks, try beginning with the heel of the shoe resting on the ground, then repeatedly lifting up to the point of balance on the flat part of the shoe, then back down. By repeating this action, you will immediately feel the targeted muscles working! To target the front part of your legs roll forward onto the angled flat part of the shoe beneath your toes and then back to the point of balance under the flat part of the shoe. You can also feel this exercise working in your buttocks.
Wear your Trim Treads for at least 30 minutes a day and see results! It's that simple!

I wear them around the house and so far so good. I will say that after the first time wearing these the next morning I could feel it for sure. I was very surprised that these little shoes do make a big impact! Affordable, cute and with all the benefits they offer you cant loose! The only thing that you need to keep in mind is that they run a size smaller than you normally wear. They also don't come in half sizes. So I usually wear a 7.5 and ordered a 6 and they were perfect! If you own a pair let me know what style you like the best! I hope you have a wonderful day and THANK YOU Trim Treads for my new fun shoes!

I promise that I will be having some food pics and recipes soon! I have some incredible things to share with you. I will see you Monday, I dont think that I will be able to post tomorrow, you never know though, I may suprise you!!!
