Shape Up!

So part of my new years resolution this year was getting in better shape. Today I started that trek. For my early birthday present Mom got me "Shape-Ups." They are new shoes out by Skechers. They claim to improve posture (which I need), improve blood circulation, strength back muscles along with abs, thighs, calves and buttocks. They also claim to reduce joint stress. When I first put them on, I almost fell over. The sole is rounded as you can see in the picture. Its like learning to walk completely different. They aren't the most attractive shoe but if I can wear them to work everyday and get in shape! Why not!? I had them on in the store for like 10 minutes, I took them off and immediately felt the burn in my calves! : ) We are on our way to a cankle-less Lauren! : )
Also, did some research about whether they work or not for those of you non-believers. Here are some articles I found.




What do yall think???
