The sneakers aim to tone your legs using built-in balance pods that destabilize your step a bit and increase muscle activation,* so because I am an overachiever and a curious workout fiend, I decided to do my lower-body workout (including squats and lunges) in the shoes, too.
The sneakers aren’t meant for working out in, but I suspected they might give my routine an extra jolt of muscle engagement. And it seems like I was right – it’s sort of like doing your lunges on two little balance boards: it was more difficult, and my legs were really, satisfyingly sore afterwards.
*Increased muscle activation up to 28% Gluteus Maximus, 11% Hamstrings, 11% calves. Based on tests comparing EasyTone Go Outside to a typical foam based walking shoe (Reebok Hex Express). Testing does not include EasyTone Flip.
