Advantages: Cardiovascular workout, tones legs, arms and bottom! Will help you lose weight if you push yourself. Excercise releases endorphins which give a sense of wellbeing :O) Disadvantages: Can be noisy and safety mechanism limits how long a stride you can take. You need to be motivated to use it!

Are you feeling blue?
Don’t be glum, get off your bum and do the AirWalk it’s goooood, lol.
Sorry for the introduction to this review but I felt it needed a bit of a rhyme (not a very good one, I admit).
In June of 2002 I felt the need to get into shape, I’d given birth to a beautiful daughter in April and was feeling a little out of shape to say the least! While I was pregnant I managed to put on a whopping 4 stones, wow! Thanks to ice cream and various other treats my butt was looking for a sign that said “Wide Load”.
I’d seen loads of Air Walkers in magazines and heard good things from a few people who’d used them and thought they where a great way to get into shape so I thought I’d check out the net to see how much these things cost!

Advantages: no effort exercise Disadvantages: can be messy and takes time to apply

This particular model is called the Analog. It is mainly made from suede with rubbery toe tips and sides primarily for extra control when skating but it is dead handy when you get scuff marks on them. All you need to do is get a damp cloth and wipe it off, simple.
As with all shoes, comfort is a must. Anyone who buys trainers, shoes etc. just for the look is a fool. When I first got these I was kinda worried they wouldn’t be as comfy and my trusty Airwalks but after a prolonged wearing in period I can say they live up to skate shoes reputation of being excellent for walking/skating miles in. A good feature about these shoes is that the ankle support is quite taught, again this is for skating...

My husband and I moved house recently and my parents decided to buy us a fridge freezer as a house warming present as our old fridge was looking a bit bashed and tired and the freezer kept making a funny clunking noise. ... more
