I don’t know why, but I love this woman and the idea. You will doubtless feel goofy doing some of the things she teaches, but at least she is entertaining to watch. I’m big on multitasking and I hate wasting time. I think that is why this appeals to me so much. It’s also a very practical way to get some good exercise.

If this exercise program sounds like it’s right up your ally, check out the Clean Momma website for details on how to order the program. It’s pretty inexpensive compared to most workout programs.

If this program is a little too off the wall for your taste, you may feel comfortable with a more traditional in-home exercise program. Pick one that fits your weight loss and exercise goals and order it today. There’s no time like the present to get started on your new body.

If you are really intent on losing stomach fat and getting great abs, you need to be more concerned with what you eat and how you exercise instead of just worrying about how many calories you consume. A great guide that will teach you both of these things is The Truth About Six Pack Abs. I recommend you check it out.

Personally, I never pay any attention to how many calories I eat. This doesn’t mean I pig out on junk food, I just don’t count calories. I can do this because I have enough muscle mass to burn off the calories I consume. This is something you need to consider. Did you know that you burn between 35 and 50 calories a day for every pound of muscle in your body. That’s without doing any extra work. You burn those calories just by being alive and having that muscle. Think about it. If you gained just 10 pounds of muscle, that’s 500 extra calories a day that your body will burn off. Now compare that to how many hours you would have to spend on the treadmill to burn off those same 500 calories, and you would have to do it every day. The extra muscle wins hands down.

If you are a female, you may think that gaining 10 pounds of muscle is a terrible idea when what you are trying to do is lose weight. The last thing you want to do is add another 10 pounds. What you need to understand is weight is a meaningless number by itself. Many things play a factor in determining body weight. What you really need to pay attention to is body fat vs muscle mass. Muscle is much denser than fat and therefore weights more than fat. Gaining 10 pounds of muscle is not going to look the same on your body as gaining 10 pounds of fat. When you consider the benefits of gaining the extra muscle, it makes sense. It’s going to help that unwanted fat melt away and once the fat is gone, that extra muscle tone is going to help you look extra sexy. Trust me on this one.

And one more thing, I’ve held this opinion on calories forever, but I got the inspiration to write this post from a post that I stumbled upon at Fitness4Her.com. It’s a great resource for women if you want to check it out. I don’t know much about it, but from the little time I spent on the site it looks like they have some good resources available.

If you have anything to share about counting calories or building muscle to burn calories, please leave a comment.

I went online to check out the shoes and found out that Reebok has more commercials in this campaign. The woman in this one is actually wearing clothes, but the message is right along the same line as the others.

My purpose here isn’t really to talk about the commercials. What I’m really interested in is the claims they are making about their EasyTone shoes. They claim that you will get a tighter butt and toner hamstrings and calves if you walk around in these shoes. If their claim is true, they may well be worth purchasing for any of you ladies out there who want to tone up your legs and butt.

So, here are the claims. If you walk around in these shoes, you will work your calves and hamstrings up to 11 percent harder and you will tone your butt up to 28 percent more than if you were to walk around in regular sneakers. If they are right, you could see some significant improvements in your legs and butt just by changing your shoes and walking around like you normally do.

They don’t make any mention of it, but I wonder if the instability caused by these shows has any core strengthening effects. If they throw off your balance a little, I would assume that you would use your abdominal muscles to compensate to some degree. Who know, maybe these shoes will also help you get six pack abs.

The Today Show did a report comparing the Reebok EasyTone to a couple of other shoes that are also supposed to work you legs and butt. Watch the video below to see their results.

I’m really curious to know if these shoes really do what Reebok says they do. Here’s the problem, I’m not a woman so I can’t review these shoes for you. I’m sorry, but I’m not going to go walking around in a pair of pink women’s walking shoes just so I can let you know if they work. So, if any of you ladies would like to buy a pair of EasyTones and then send me a well written review, I will post it here so the rest of the readers can see if they should try them out. Also, if you don’t want to write a full review, feel free to leave a comment below. I look forward to hearing what some real women think of these shoes.
