Adidas AdiPure Review!

First ever @Wise_Fitness blog post dedicated to a review! Recently I have been training at home when im not able to reach the gym but im not a big fan of shoes inside the house. After awhile the bare feet start to hurt from running on the treadmill on jumping around with nothing between the floor and the skin on my feet. So I started looking for a pair of shoes that were both lightweight and comfortable to wear both at home and in the gym. Loving the feeling of a bare foot workout I stumbled upon the Adidas Adipure! These 5 finger toe shoes might look really weird and get tons of odd stares by people when wearing them at the gym but they work wonders!

The Adidas AdiPure training shoes give you the feeling of a bare foot workout with the protection of a fully padded running shoe. This feeling is amazing during explosive workouts and weight training.

Light weight, breathable, snug fitting....these shoes only have one flaw. When trying to place your foot in the shoe your toes might not find the individual toe sections easy to get into. This only happens the first few times wearing the shoe then after awhile your toes become adjusted and should easily slide into the shoe without hesitation. This only occurs because human toes have been molded into oddly shaped shoes that have squeezed the toes together. The AdiPure training shoes opens up and spreads your toes back to the natural way in which they were meant to be. 

A variety of different colours are available:

blue/black
grey/black *MINE* :)
red/black
white/blue
pink/black
green/black

& more depending on the store.

With a price of $99.99 in Canada these shoes are a must have! Simply put they feel amazing..trust me im a fan and a user.

Lose Weight without Cardio!

There is a common misconception in the fitness world today that in order to achieve a low body fat percentage or lose weight you must involve crazy amounts of cardio in your routine. I am here to preach the fact that you do not need cardio to maintain a low body fat percentage or lose weight. There are two reasons why other activities are better for losing weight. Reason One: You only burn calories with cardio while you are working out. Reason Two: Diet is the most important aspect while losing or cutting weight.

Reason One:

If you're just coming off a bulk or looking to lose some extra meat that has gathered of the winter months cardio can work wonders for you. That's not the case if you're someone like myself. I dread cardio workouts. Yes, your cardiovascular health is very important but there are ways of getting in cardio workouts without doing specific cardio routines. The average person walks into a gym, hops on the closest treadmill or elliptical and burns calories for a half hour. They jump off and take a look at the total calories burned. 300! So they think to themselves wow I just worked so hard look at those calories burned. While a few feet away on the other side of the gym there is a guy sweating bullets pumping iron (Shout out to Arnold!). Gaining a huge pump from the blood being forced into his muscles by way of lifting for roughly the same half hour. Average it out...say they both burned around the same amount of calories. They leave the gym and hopefully down a recovery drink. Now the cardio guy has just consumed half the amount of calories that he just burnt off! Not to mention his lack of a diet but hey I'll discuss that in reason two. What im trying to get at here is that cardio only burns calories while you're actually working out as apposed to weight lifting or strength training which burns calories at a more aggressive rate throughout the day after your workout. Yes the cardio guy will still burn calories after his workout because that's what the human body does...burns the calories you consume to survive. The weight lifter has the advantage though because his body as a result of the strength training will burn calories faster and more efficiently then the cardio guy. So in saying this the weight lifter will lose more weight in a faster time and more easily then the cardio guy...not to mention the amount of muscle that will be preserved by way of the weight lifting.

Reason Two:

In order to lose weight or essentially body fat your body must achieve a calorie deficit throughout the day. This means you must burn more calories then you are consuming in the day. How is this done? Through strict diet and exercise. As you read above I am stressing reasons why Strength Training is more beneficial than Cardio for losing weight or body fat. Although exercise is very important you will not achieve any of your weight loss goals without strict diet. Your diet is the single most important thing you should stress about during your daily life. You can workout all you want and for hours upon hours burning tons of calories but if you come home and eat crap like fast food, or chips during the night you will never attain your true goals.

To sum everything up I am simply offering reasons to support Strength Training over Cardio Training for people like myself who despise Cardio! :)
