So a few weeks ago Kurt and I went shopping on a Friday that he had off.  We decided to go over to Legends, the new mall in Sparks.  I think we originally went over there to go to Schills for gym shoes for Kurt but we never did make it.  Instead we started walking around...I with my camera, of course, and just enjoying the sunshine as we walked around holding hands and enjoying each others company.  Between snapping pics we mosied past a Converse store....which was the kind of gym shoes that Kurt prefers but can't seem to find anywhere anymore.  So we went in and he found what he wanted...and we left again.  We headed in the direction of the Lane Bryant outlet store that's over there when we came across a Skechers store.  They had a display set up outside their entrance with their Shape-Ups....something that I've wanted to get since I first saw them come out.  Problem is...their pricey.  $99 per pair, pricey.  We can't really afford something like that....but we went in and checked them out anyway.  They felt great...a little weird...but great.  These shoes are a walking workout.  They workout your abs, back, butt, calves, thighs, and shoulders.  They force you to walk straight and the sort of cushioning that they have on them makes you get a good aerobic workout, as well.  They also improve your circulation.  In other words....they're the bees knees!  Wow!

So....after trying them on and walking around...I looked at Kurt and was like, "we can't afford them."  And he told me, "let's get them...anything that helps you out..."  So, we bought them.  And can I just say...I'm in love with my Shape-Ups!  IN LOVE!  They're awesome!  I wear them to school where I walk the most and I get the greatest workout with them.  All that's required after wearing them to school is another 30 minutes walking workout in the living room when I get home. Cool!

So for those of you who have seen these shoes and wondered...."should I pay the money for something that could just possibly be a gimmick?"  GET THEM!!!  DO IT!!!

Your ass will thank you and so will your heart.  :)
