A lot of different options of footwear are available for this year to help with shedding pounds and starting a fitness routine. Even though the choices are plentiful, a concept that seems to stick out is pro-body. End users have begun to understand that most shoes are horrible for the skeletal system and has aided in accelerating this movement. That the run of the mill footwear artificially stabilize us on hard, flat surfaces which can cause multiple problems including fewer muscles being used, resulting in back and joint pain.

The walking shoe trend for 2009 of being pro-body is a result of the current situation in fitness footwear. Many styles and brands are available, but a small percentage go beyond looks and shiny styles in their design. Few are constructed to give you the health benefits you deserve.

A brand that has taken this into account is the Masai Barefoot Technology. These shoes have a multi-layered pivot sole that copies walking on an uneven terrain such as on the beach. The curved sole provides several benefits while walking or standing. They significantly improve the posture and help relieve pressure on the joints and back. MBT also activates more muscles, whether walking or standing. This helps stimulate the metabolism, burn more calories, and helps firm the legs and abdominal muscles.

Another trendy shoe for 2009 is called the Fit Flops. Started as just a sandal, this product now includes shoes and boots for all season solutions. The premise is the same as MBT in that they induce instability as you walk. These shoes and sandals, in turn, help relieve back pain, better your posture, and help burn more calories while they strengthen your leg muscles.

There are a growing number of people that now realize that the traditional walking sneaker is not going to cut it anymore. The trends are moving toward alternative footwear as mentioned above. People are becoming more educated about fitness and health, realizing that most shoes work against us. That walking on flat surfaces is horrible for our overall health and well being. That's why new footwear, like those mentioned above, have become part of the Worldwide trend toward an anti-shoe solution.

Using The New Approach Of MBT Shoes To Strengthen Your Body We have been given an amazing gift, our human body. Yes it is amazingly fragile at times, but it is also surprising tough, able to withstand tremendous rigors. It is common knowledge that the body will perform at its best when it is cared for well. How that is accomplished is up for discussion, and MBT demonstrates a radical but logical approach. The indigenous peoples of the world hold a deep fascination for the rest of us living in our so called advanced civilised environments. One in particular, the Masai, enthrall us with their barefoot jumping and running, and have for some time. It is their smooth grace over land that keeps us wondering how we might be able to emulate and replicate their method of movement in our concrete jungle. We instinctively look to native people, their means and methods of survival for an insight into the true way we should be interacting with the rest of the occupants of this planet. MBT Shoes, for the many things we use them; style, height adjustment or just for protection, provide an interesting comparison with aboriginal people. Yet our shoes do something unnatural for us, the provide the means to always be walking on essentially flat surfaces, the better to reduce stresses to our muscles and skeleton. We press ahead with our innovation in shoes, inventing new styles and supports that make life so much more convenient and pleasant, from our point of view. But this has created an unusual situation for our body. We know that if we want a muscle to develop, we use it. That is why doing push ups makes us good at doing push ups. Our body responds to training by preparing the muscles to handle the same stresses placed on it again and again. Muscle growth comes from stressing the muscle fiber and connective tissue. The body perceives the tiny tears and damage as an attack, and sets out to repair the damage. In addition, it anticipates further stresses in the same muscle group and sends growth indicators to increase the size of the fiber in the area to greater tolerate the experience. Taken to extreme, this essentially healing process yields the art of body building, with greatly exaggerated muscle groups, just as the practitioner intends. Yet for all the strength and work this effort requires, these highly muscular individuals are not well represented in the great athletic competitions. The reason is the muscle groups grow strong in doing what has been exercised, not in overall fitness. This has led to a new cognition about footwear. If we get good at what we practice, then it makes sense that what we would ideally find in shoes is a replication of the natural barefoot method, with an added protection from injury. The Masai example shows that walking is an unstable event that requires a great many muscles to maintain balance and move smoothly. MBT Boots seize on that philosophy and recreate the natural approach, toning muscle, protecting our feet and providing style all at the same time.
