Avia Toning Shoes For Off Road Walking

When it comes to toning faster when walking, there is no shortage of shoes to get the extra burn, however for anyone who prefers to venture off the beaten track and head off-road, the choice becomes very limited. For taking to the trail, toning gets put on the back burner, with most toning shoes lacking the robust design to cope with uneven ground.

Avia however have now released their first off-road toning shoes as part of the Avi-motion toning shoes range. The shoes feature the same winning design which has made their toning sneakers such a popular choice with athletes and fitness walkers, providing a highly comfortable and natural feeling design, however the Avia El Moro offers a design much better suited to tricky terrain and will let you walk wherever takes your fancy.

The Avia El Moro is sold in a mens and womens model, with earthy colours inspired by the trail. The brown and tan shoes are highly breathable to keep the feet cool, with a lightweight construction so as not to sap the strength on long hikes. Whilst you want your muscles to get the extra effort, you need to make sure that the feet do not get fatigued, which Avia toning shoes help to avoid. What makes Avia toning shoes such a good off-road walking choice is the construction of the soles. Most toning shoes are highly flexible, however they do not allow for a natural flexing of the feet. For off road walking over uneven surfaces this becomes more important, as getting the toes flexing helps to improve grip and cope with the contours of the terrain without tiring the feet.

Flex grooves allow for a natural forefoot flex, whilst giving a little flexibility for side to side movement. The feeling when walking is natural and highly comfortable and the shoes are some of the most stable toning shoes on the market.

The shoes increase muscle activity in the calves, hamstrings and buttocks to speed up toning, and a negative heel corrects the posture, bringing the postural bones back into alignment to efficiently deal with the shockwaves from walking. The forces acting on the joints are reduced by a cantilever heel which absorbs and dissipates the strike force. The heel is moved gently from to the toes in a beneficial rolling motion, which helps to stimulate the blood circulation and ensures a beneficial walking gait.

To get the muscles working harder, a forefoot pod works in conjunction with the negative heel to trigger greater muscle involvement throughout the stride, whilst being hardly noticeable when walking. However at the end of the day, all the extra effort adds up, and you can really feel that the shoes are working the lower body harder.

If the only time you venture off road is when walking the dog, you may want to go for the targeted fat burning iburn, the iquest or the ishape for pure toning. However for maximum versatility and the option of walking wherever takes your fancy, it has to be the Avia El Moro.
