Girls, work your butt and thigh muscles when you walk.
Reebok’s latest invention is called the EasyTone shoe. Created by former NASA engineer, the idea of the EasyTone is that the shoe comes with balance pods in the sole of the shoe that causes natural instability as you walk. This activates the muscles in your butt, thigh and calf areas, enabling you to tone these parts of your body while you walk. Sounds too good to be true? Try it out risk free, from now till August 31, your purchases of the EasyTone shoe comes with a “Satisfaction Guaranteed Program“. This means that if you are not fully happy with your purchase, just bring it back to the store to swap it for something else.
