The great thing about working out and gaining new insight is that you attract "like" minded people. A member of my exercise class had a pair of Vibram 5 fingers and I was so intrigued that I had to get more information. I had seen several people in San Francisco with these "funny-looking" shoes and truly that they were socks. After getting more details I figured that I would check them out online. I originally owned a pair of Nike shocks and had such a problem by the end of my workout with my feet. They literally felt fuzzy or just simply hurt! My feet felt heavy and made it so difficult to do simple exercises like mountain climbers because my shoes would fall off. After a few weeks of proper budgeting I decided to treat myself to these "odd" shoes. And wallah!
The support factor is so much different than a pair of tennis shoes. But my favorite part is that they are so lightweight I don't feel distracted with my running. I ordered them online and have really been pleased so far.
It is so important to budget for the proper gear. Keep your workout wardrobe simple but get the essentials. I recently invested in a Heart Rate Monitor and I swear it has helped me become much more conscious of my calories. To see how many you have burned in a day really makes you think twice about putting the snickers bar in your mouth.
Good luck!!!
