Are you excited to begin your new fitness routine with your personal trainer Echo Park? Great! We’re excited to have you! We know from experience that people have a lot of questions when they’re new to exercising, including the one that comes up all the time: what shoes should I wear to my training session?
Understanding Fitness Shoes
When you’re considering which footwear to choose during exercise, keep in mind that shoes for fitness have different functions than shoes you wear in your everyday life. When you’re not working out, you might choose a shoe based on how it looks, or whether it’s soft and comfortable-feeling. While fitness shoes can be both good-looking and comfortable, it’s most important for them to have great design and function to protect you from injury during your training. So don’t be proud: it’s better to have an ugly shoe that works well than a good-looking shoe that will end up allowing you to get shin splints, sore knees, or even stress fractures.
Match The Shoe To The Workout
How to choose your shoe? Well, most important is to consider what you’ll be doing while you wear it. For example, many people think that running shoes are great all-purpose footwear, but nothing could be further from the truth. On the contrary, running shoes are carefully designed to be great at enabling you to run. They’re not built with a lot of support for the side-to-side type motions that a lot of aerobics classes use. Here are the main categories of fitness shoe:
- Running – best for running, as noted above.
- Walking – structured differently than running shoes, these are (unsurprisingly) best for walking.
- Cross-training – these are best for activities that involve a lot of side-to-side motion, such as tennis, volleyball, or indoor aerobics.
- Minimalist – these controversial shoes are good for those working for more “natural” body mechanics.
