Workout shoes

I personally love workout shoes as much as I love high heels and sandals. I still have sneakers that I purchased 12 years ago and they look brand new, the reason is that over the years I have accumulated a lot of pairs, so I rotate them by using all of them less in a year.

Well, I am not bragging about the number of sneakers that I have but wanted to talk about the importance of having a good pair of workout shoes in order to maintaine performance at the highest level possible. I am a big fan of Adidas! But the main part is not the brand, but that they are appropriate for the type of exercise that we do. In my opinion, Avias are good for walking, Nike are good for those with narrow feet and for aerobic classes. Reebok has great running shoes, but I still prefer the Adidas Trail running because they keep my feet in place comfortably and most have grip to avoid slipping. My husband loves New Balance, which are great for weight training. So depending on your favorite excersise, try to find a pair that suits you. Do not settle for a pair that is not comfortable because you may get injured.

These are my newest addition $60.00 on Sale at Academy

Can you tell I love pink?



On another note, I also think that workout clothes are important in motivation. For this reason, I try to dress up in workout outfits because they motivate me to workout. I usually wake up and get dressed as if I am going to the gym, even during the days when I am just going to do groceries, play dates...or make lunch for my husband. I think that being in workout clothes eliminates an excuse from my procasrinating list. I also feel that it makes me aware of the areas that I need to improve when I sit down to eat, watch tv...etc
