Earth Footwear – A Fitness Routine Even *I* Can Do!
November 9, 2009
When I was younger, I have to admit, I was pretty lucky. I could eat what I wanted, and I spent quite a bit of time outside burning off food just a quickly as I ate it, I think. I was slim and trim, and some might argue I was a little too trim.
Several years and two kids later, this is no longer the case. Not by a long shot.
Oh, and have I mentioned that I’m not a big fan of exercising? I do it, and I enjoy it when I do it, but if I have to choose to catch up on my TiVo viewing or put on my sneakers and go work out, chances are you will find me on the sofa. Bon-bon free, of course.
So while I was at Type A Mom Conference in September, I took notice of a company called Earth Footwear who was allowing us to try out their new ExerWalk Sneakers. And boots.
Boy did I really want those boots…
But I digress…
Earth Footwear selected me as one of the bloggers to try their new ExerWalk Sneakers for 30 days in a promotion called Change Your Life In 30 Days. The mission? To wear the shoes and walk around in them. A LOT. Then report back and share my insights.
I have been using the shoes now for 9 days, and with the exception of that I wake up kind of sore each morning (like I had a great workout the day before), I am finding that the shoes are really great!
Sneakers are hard for me. I struggle to find a comfortable sneaker that I can wear for long periods of time. The Earth ExerWalk sneakers are so comfortable and easy to wear, I find myself wearing them longer than I would normally wear shoes (I like to walk around barefoot) in my house. That for me is rare.
The shoes modify how you walk. So before when I walk around my neighborhood listening to techno, the shoes provide a resistance I was not expecting. It made walking to the beat rather difficult, but I was able to do it. That could explain the reason why I am so sore though…
I really like these shoes. I’m feeling the effects already, and I’m looking forward to seeing the effects after the 30 days. To see how I’m doing each day, follow me on Twitter to see my daily updates!

I have seen the Sketchers version of these sneakers and they are quite ugly. I was wondering what they looked like on, because as sad as it is….how a shoe looks is almost as important has how it feels.
