Since my last race in 2010 (i know its been a long, long time...) Ive been running, training & working out in Vibram FiveFingers! They are amaze-balls... TRUST ME! I've done plenty of research on the barefoot running technology (and minimalist shoes) and these babies are the best thing you can do for your feet, besides going all out barefoot.
These are the Bikilas.
I LOVE them! I still get crazy looks (well my feet do) when i wear them and i hear people whisper "look at her shoes" but really, y'all think my Vibrams look weird when gym shoes don't even look like real feet?
If you would like more info on the Barefoot Running Technology, check out this book!
"Although there's a LOT of science that favors walking and running barefoot over shoes, it honestly doesn't take much consideration to realize that shoes are unnatural, man-made devices that change the way we stand, walk and run. Those changes, because they are deviations away from the natural, are generally bad for the body. The more "bells-and-whistles" you put on the shoe (like motion control, arch support, toe springs, elevated heels, etc.) the further you get from natural and the more problematic they are to the body. People are throwing off their high-tech shoes and discovering that running barefoot not only feels liberating, it may actually be better for you, too!" -http://www.thebarefootbook.com/running.html
All in all, today was a pretty amazing day! I just need to refuel big time from the huge loss of calories (on an empty stomach too ...wahhh... i know thats bad!). I was exhausted today! You wanna know what got me to the gym this morning? Instagram. Dead serious. Seeing all of my followers posts motivates me to get my booty to the gym so I can achieve my goals!
What motivates you guys to get to the gym and eat clean?
