Hi ,
I'm a bit of a geek about sniffing out the truth behind the fitness claims. As if you didn't know that about me by now ;-).
 Here's one I've been sitting on for a few weeks until I had the time to fully read the reports and commentary. It's about the "toning shoes" on the market. Do you have a pair? Great, I hope you like them! I'm all over anything that gets you to MOVE.
Yet I'm compelled to tell you the truth behind the advertising. Do they really shape and tone and do all that other magic those cute girls in the commercials make us believe they do? Read my report in today's Feature Article and click on over to my blog to see the 2 minute video I made for you, too.
 Good news! We're ON for Booty Camp! Last week I asked you to let me know if you wanted a pre-holidays Booty Camp, and the ayes have it.
We're taking 2 weeks right before Thanksgiving for a Get Off Your 'Buts' Booty Camp. The title speaks for itself. More details in Events and be sure to sign up for the preview call on the Booty Camp page here. Even if you can't make the preview call itself, sign up anyway so that I can send you the recording!
A special thank you to the women of the Summer/FallWoman's Fitness Blueprint Action Plan for Success session that wraps
this week, week #8. It's been an honor and a privilege.
Hearts, hugs and stars,
P. S. A special welcome to all of the new FitDream Ezine readers
this week.

Toning shoes: Will they really give you a better body?

" Chisel your butt and legs!" "Burns more calories!"
"Makes the gym obsolete!"
Hang on sistah, let's not get carried away with what the "toning"
shoes can do.
Do they really do what the ads claim?
Have they
replaced other workout routines for women as a lower body training tool?
If you watch the ads on these funky-looking shoes, the message is
powerful: lace these on and your backyard will look like our model's,
just by replacing your regular footwear with these. Even high profile
athletes like Joe Montana are pushing them.
Do they really give you a better body?
As revealed in my quick video intro, independent research conducted
by ACE (American Council on Exercise) demonstrates no statistically
significant difference in wearing any brand of "toning" shoes over your
typical walking or running shoes. No tests were done on weighted shoes
in this case, which may be another story altogether. We're just talking
about the high-wedge "toners".
ACE used electromyography to measure muscle activation at 6 different sites.
"To measure muscle activation, researchers recruited a second group of
12 physically active female volunteers, ages 21 to 27 years, who
performed a similar battery of five-minute treadmill trials (as
explained above) rotating shoes at random. Researchers used
electromyography (a.k.a. EMG) to record muscle activity in six muscle
areas: gastrocnemius (calf), rectus femoris (quads), biceps femoris
(hamstrings), gluteus maximus (buttocks), erector spinae (back), and
rectus abdominis (abs), as subjects walked in each of the four pairs of
shoes. As a baseline for EMG analysis, maximum voluntary isometric
contractions (MVIC) on all muscles were also performed using manual
muscle techniques prior to testing."
The results
Guess what? No evidence emerged to support the claims that these
shoes will help wearers exercise more intensely, burn more calories or
improve muscle strength and tone.
Save your cash...unless
Priced at from $100 - $225, if you are looking for the magic toning
bullet, save your cash and put it into something proven to add muscle
workload to your walks by adding more resistance, like weighted vests,
belts, or hand-held weights.
Unless, of course, you find these shoes so dang fun that you can't
wait to get out on your daily walk, in which case I say money well
spent! Many women find these shoes comfortable and with their thick cushy soles, a cushion to the press of foot to floor all day long..

"The lowest weight I have managed to achieve in 8 years"
 Hi Lani,
My closure to the Booty Camp? Today I w*eighed in and am down 6.4 pounds by my math in 2 weeks! I am now 1.4 pounds from being
the lowest weight I have managed to achieve in 8 years. (I did lose
down to my goal weight 1993, shortly after my son was born, using
Jenny Craig - and I stayed at that weight for about 5 minutes, was
hungry all the time and sick of the prepackaged food.)
I feel very enthused and confident that
using the principles I have learned and continue to learn from Lani
and my fellow Booty Camp and FitDream Fusion peeps that I will reach my goal of 145 lbs, size 8. My size 14 jeans are getting loose! Yay! After comparing my measurements that were taken at the beginning , I have lost a total of 3 inches in 2 weeks.
Lani, thank you so very much for the nutrition DVD.
My husband was watching it yesterday and is just all over it, much
to my surprise! My son will be here tomorrow and we are going to
watch it together as a family. I am looking forward to continuing
on with FitDream Fusion.
