Resistance Excercies:
Ensure that you warm up for at least 5-10 minutes - simple stretches and light aerobics to prevent injury is essential.
Don't assume you will feel as you do after a leisurely stroll - these shoes are heavy and are designed to challenge your body !! Therefore, please ensure you have adjusted to Power Diet Shoes before setting off on a long walk. Carry alternative footwear or the light weight interchangeable midsole with you until you are confident that your body has adjusted; as you work harder you will produce more lactic acid which will slow you down and make movement difficult. Always listen to your body, if you are sore after a walk, you have possibly overdone it. Cut back on speed and/or distance while you gradually build up usage time.
Wear athletic socks with Power Diet Sports to avoid and/or minimise rubbing. Consider wearing socks which contain moisture wicking properties that are breathable.
Put the WEIGHT on your feet and the POWER in your stride!
