Shelby and Jesse got Heelys for Christmas. They've been asking for them forever and I finally felt like they were old enough to handle them this year. Now they race around on them all over the place, especially when we are in the grocery store b/c the slick floors are perfect for skating. I don't let them do it when it is crowded, but if an aisle is empty I let them skate down it. I kind of wish I had some in my size just to see how they work. A 37 year old woman in Heelys...frightening.
Speaking of that 37 year old woman, I got me some toning tennis shoes...only a middle aged woman would actually try these, right? Well, when my mom was in the hospital, I noticed that most of the nurses wore these bad boys. I figured they must be pretty comfy because nurses always pick the most comfy shoes since they are always on their feet. Then, I worked in the nursery at church with a girl who had some on so I asked her if she felt more toned after wearing them. She said she really couldn't tell a difference in toning, but she is a teacher and on her feet all day and they have really helped her lower back pain. I am also on my feet all day {except sometimes during rest time} and I have always had lower back pain, so I thought I'd give them a try. I had a 30% off at Kohls coupon and they were already marked down from $99 to $49, so I got them for about $35.
I have to say, old lady shoes or not, they are the most stinking comfortable shoes I have ever had. I wore them all day the first day I had them and I actually had sore muscles in my thighs, so maybe they do tone. (and my back did feel a little better, seriously) We'll see.
Maybe I can get one of those ab toning belts, and shaking weights too and I will never have to work out again! not
