Short post: Reebok Easytones and Kelly Brook!

Kelly Brook seems to appear regularly on the pages of this here blog: she always seems to be advertising something i'm writing about! Kelly is the celebrity face of the new Reebok easy tones, and has allocated some time exclusively to triallists to ask her questions about her health, fitness, and beauty routines: and i'm opening up the floor to you! Do you guys have any questions you'd like me to pose to Kelly? Just pop them in the comments and i'll post the full results when the interview takes place.

Speaking of the Easytones, here is my latest update on my progress. The shoes have loosened as i've worn them, and i'm no longer worried about them being too tight (which is brilliant!) My exercise routine has changed a little, as i'm cycling more, and I think the trainers work better when your running and using the balance technology, however I have noticed a slight difference in my calves, which are firmer and more muscly. They aren't a miracle solution (I don't think there's any such thing) but I am still as impressed as I was in my last post: I think just wearing them is a great motivator and gives you a mental incentive to get out and exercise more.

Reebok Easytones: Week one

I mentioned about a month ago that I was taking part in the Reebok Easytone trial. The Reebok Easytones are trainers that are supposed to work harder to tone your bum and legs as you go about your daily business. Well my trainers finally arrived last week, and I got them straight on and gave them a go! Here are my thoughts so far:

- They look good. I mean, they look like trainers not Louboutins, but as trainers go they're quite nice looking and I don't feel unattractive when I walk to work in them (I've taken to wearing them to work and back - every little helps!)

- They're a little tight. I ordered my normal size (a six) but feel like a half a size bigger would have been more comfortable. They have loosened off a little as i'm wearing them, but I still think the sizing is a little on the small side; I would recommend sizing up.

-I think they're making a difference; the back of my legs feel a little firmer. Of course, this could be psychosymatic because I think they're working and it could be because i'm walking more than I normally would (well, when you have new walking shoes it would be rude not to!)

- They have built in odour control; now i'm not saying I have smelly feet, but the fact that they're smaller than I expected means I can't wear them with socks and usually trainers and no-socks is trainer death. Not so with these ones with their built-in odour controlling magic. Or at least not so far...

I'll let you know how i'm finding them in another month or so - it's hard to tell how they're working when i've only been wearing them a week, but so far i'm impressed! I feel like another four weeks will enable me to give a more rounded opinion. If only there were trainers that could tone your stomach and upper arms as well!

Love, Tor xx

Competition: Let Reebok help you "tone those buns"

My keep-fit regime is still going well, and although i've only lost a few pounds, i'm slowly starting to notice the difference. To intensify the process, at the end of the month I will be starting a trial of the new Reebok Easytone trainers. According to Reebok, Easytone trainers generate up to 28% more bum muscle activation compared to ordinary trainers whilst generating more than 11% more muscle activation in the calf muscles and hamstring. And apparently they help tone your bum and legs even when your not in the gym - sound too good to be true?? I thought so too, so there's only one way to find out!

Once mine arrive I plan on using them three times a week and seeing what difference they make! I am definitely not a trainer wearing in my everyday life, but I think it might even be worth wearing them on my walk to work so my muscles can work harder doing my normal everyday tasks.

So the prize is the opportunity to take part in the trial and receive a pair of Reebok Easytone trainers and a bag full of Reebok training kit! You'll be given a code to log onto the Easytone trial community where you will be able to choose the style/colour and size of your trainers and kit. So your look is entirely up to you.

All you have to do is leave a comment and i'll use my numbers in a comedy hat technique to choose a winner on Friday: I know it's not much time, so you'll have to get in quick!

Get entering, and good luck!!

Love, Tor xx

PS - Sadly this competition is only open to UK readers. I'll have something for my worldwide friends coming up soon though!
