Have you heard of Fit Flops? Not you ordinary flip flop, these sandals have taken the UK and the United States by storm. The main concept of the Fit Flop is to induce a bit of instability so when you are walking, the body is being stimulated more and more, activating neglected muscles, and giving you an extra workout while you walk.

Why Fit Flops?

The reason there is a feeding frenzy for both these shoes is that they are a walking shoe with the gym built in, so you can get an extra workout while you walk. The Fit Flops are designed to give you a more efficient workout, allowing you to burn more calories, activate and work neglected muscles, improve muscle coordination, absorb more shock and reduce the danger of suffering from a joint strain.

The technology of these walking sandals lies in the wobbleboard technology. Basically, when one steps in the Fit Flops, the foot moves from a firm back end, into a soft center section. When doing so, the eversion rate of your foot, which is how fast your foot rolls over, slows down on this innovative midsole because there is a wobble going on. By causing the foot to step that way, the Fit Flop activates core muscles in the buttocks, hamstring and thigh muscle groups.

Another advantage of the FitFlops is that it helps to make it easier to stay in shape and well toned. Like I stated earlier, the micro-wobbleboard technology used in these sandals produces an instability with every step, which makes the legs work harder while walking. The benefit is that it challenges hard to reach muscles, helps tone and trim the legs, tones the thighs, calves and glutes, and helps to burn more calories. It's easy because all you have to do is put on the FitFlop and walk. This concept is a great addition to just going to the gym for a workout, and is excellent for those that do not have the time.

Easy to use, the Fit Flops need no instruction manual, no videos to watch in how to walk in them. Just slip them on and begin your normal activities. That's the biggest benefit. You get a workout while you walk, saving you all the time this summer of having to go to the gym to get your workout.
