Hey all! Hope you had a nice Labor Day weekend! I was fortunate to spend my weekend down the shore with friends, relaxing, reading, playing games, doing beach yoga, and enjoying good food and company.  My great weekend got off to an early start on Thursday, when the coolest thing happened...

There I was, sitting at home, minding my own business, when ding-dong!  It was Reebok's Human Dispatch Service (HDS), making a home delivery, just for me!  One of the dispatchers, Patrick, was decked out in Reebok gear, wearing neon yellow ZJet sneakers and a bag to match.  The bag was filled with ZJet shoes!!!


Keeping in line with Reebok's standard of connecting with the fitness consumer wherever, whenever, and however,  the Reebok HDS delivers sneakers directly to your feet, so you can experience the new Reebok ZJet's unique underfoot air channels and cushioning.  Just like the shoes are designed to propel the ru…

So... Reebok sent me their smokin' hot new running sneakers.


They say a picture is worth a thousand words.  Need I even write a review?

A few weeks ago, I gushed about my love of Spinning (aka Cycling, Flywheel, etc.) and dared you to give it a try.  For those of you who were already spinning or accepted my challenge, I now encourage you to take your cycling to the next level, by using the right shoes.



Spin Shoes: Yes, it is possible to do spinning without the right shoes by buckling your sneaker into the pedal cage (below), but it's simply not the same.  My instructor had been on me to get spin shoes for some time, and I finally got around to it when I noticed that my performance was suffering because my feet felt loose or I was unable to sprint in standing positions.



^This is what the pedal looks like on a Spinning bike.  You can either turn it over to slide your regular sneaker into the little cage there, and pull the strap to tighten, OR you can clip your spin shoe directly onto the top of the pedal, and they move, connected.

I spin once or twice each week.  My sneakers were no longer cutting it.  They were li…
