Anti-shoes
Anti-shoes are designed to exercise 
parts of your body while you’re 
walking. They’re meant to improve 
your 
posture
, and strengthen your 
leg, back and 
abdominal muscles

They can also increase 
circulation
and 
reduce
body fat. Some of 
the most famous brands include 
Sketchers Shape-ups, 
Reebok EasyTones 
and MBTs. MBT 
stands for
Masai Barefoot 
Technology. 
The shoes were invented by Swiss 
engineer Karl Müller in the early 
1990s. On a visit to Korea, he noticed 
that 
walking barefoot
over some 
soft 
paddy fields alleviated
his 
back, knee and 
Achilles tendon
problems. He also discovered that 
the Kenyan Masai tribespeople 
(who often walk barefoot) don’t 
suffer from
back pain and are 
famous for their perfect posture. 
So, he decided that the answer 
was a shoe with a 
curved sole
and 
no 
heel
. Apparently, walking on 
this type of shoe is similar to the 
rocking motion
of a foot walking 
on soft sand or grass. The shoe was 
launched in 1996, and by 2000 
approximately 20,000 pairs had 
been sold in Switzerland, Austria and 
Germany. Since then, the shoes have 
become a big 
hit
, with celebrities 
such as Jemima Khan, Jodie Kidd 
and Sadie Frost owning a pair. 
Zumba
Zumba is a fun form 
of exercise. As their 
tagline says, “
Ditch
the 
workout, join the party!” 
Zumba is a Latin-inspired fitness 
dance programme that uses 
hip-hop, samba, salsa, merengue, 
mambo, martial arts, Bollywood 
and belly dance moves to get 
you in shape. It was created by 
accident when an aerobics teacher 
forgot his exercise CD and used his 
own salsa music instead. There are 
lots of different types of classes for 
all levels, including “Zumbatomic” 
for children aged 4 to 12,
“Zumba 
Gold” 
for older
