Leading sports brand Reebok claim that their Reebok Easytone trainers can tone your hamstrings, calves and bum nearly 30% more than regular trainers just by walking in them. They claim the trainers can “train muscles your trainers never knew you had.”

With this concept, Reebok claim that it increases the activation of calf muscles by 11% and gluteus maximus muscles by 28%. The idea is to give your legs and bum a workout without actually doing much exercise, apparently from the advert it even works while cleaning the house!

John Porcari PhD, who led the tests, agrees that the trainers should work in theory as they make the muscles work harder by creating instability that the body attempts to counteract. The shoes are based on a curved sole which creates an unstable surface which forces the wearer’s body to constantly struggle to find equilibrium.

The model says she enjoys swimming, walking yoga and dancing. An avid member of dance and fitness classes, she was the perfect candidate for this exercise range aimed primarily at women.

The University of Delaware conducted a test with a group of women, they made half wear the Easytone shoes and the other half wore standard fitness trainers. The women endured a series of exercises while attached to sensors which monitored muscle activity.

She said, “I have always been energetic and active and I’ve always loved dancing. I’ve been surrounded by people into fitness and health for a long time, so have always been conscious about what I put in my body. I’m also aware of keeping myself in shape for my job and general lifestyle.

Consumers can get their hand on the easytone trainers in stores and online and there is rumour of a extended Reebok easytone due next year.

There are millions of training regimes and diets to get fit and firm yourself up, most of which involve changing your lifestyle, joining a gym or taking time out of your day to engage in some form of activity.

The glamorous brunette is the face of the new line of trainers said to improve tone and strength in the legs and bum via a unique unstable sole. She will also be their spokeswoman for their new Jukari Fit to Flex workout. Reebok created the workout with inspiration from the performances of Cirque du Soleil, it targets core muscles and the upper body by using a light elastic band that can be used in a variety of ways.

The sports giant claim the shoe creates a smaller, more unstable surface area which is significant enough to activate muscles without impacting the way you move or even making you aware. Supposedly your leg and bum muscles will naturally fight to find a balance point and will therefore work your legs and buttocks significantly more than usual.

The model turned actress enjoys swimming, yoga and dancing but focuses on her dance and fitness classes, which made her the perfect candidate for this exercise product aimed primarily at women.

She has recently become somewhat of a movie star and is currently starring in the film Piranha 3D. Although she only studied at drama school for three years when she was younger, she said this started her love of dancing, which she still does to keep in shape.

The scientists also surveyed users of the shoes over a period of several months and found that they experienced a degree of toning of the legs and bum. But the team struggled to determine whether the toning was entirely due to the imbalance the shoes created or the motivation to walk more.

Consumers have so far gone mad for the Reebok easytone range and there is rumour of further, more casual models to be added to the popular easytone trainers
