I mentioned awhile back we joined a new uber gym. They had us at the pool with its full complement of water slides, zero depth area and snack bar. Hello summer!
Once I overcame my intimidation and studied a map sufficiently to navigate my way around the 3-story uber gym complex complete with platoons of every piece of fitness equipment known to man yet another army of stuff I could not identify, I noticed there were copious amounts of members with, you guessed it, uber physiques:
Ready-for-prime-time 6-packs, seemingly hewn from granite…
…hulking biceps…
…and chiseled calves. And it’s not just the men-folk either. There are plenty of supremely fit women there as well. The uber fittest of the species, almost across the board, wear these:
Moon shoe?
It’s your own personal balance board, its an orthopedic-looking shoe ‘physiological footwear’ (according to MBT), and has an uber price tag (according to me). I’ve certainly seen these before, but not in droves like I do at the uber gym. Could it be responsible somehow for helping the uber fit get and/or stay that way? Would a little time spent in these babies be my ticket to physical uberville as well?
I made a beeline to DSW and checked out the shoes. Actually I tried on the Skechers brand. I was teetering up and down the aisles, checking excitedly for belly fat melt-off when Thing 1, in full eye roll mode, shook her head, proclaimed me “a major dork” and assured me I did not want to be seen in public in them.
Any experience with these?
What say you?
Fashion/fitness Yay? or Nay?
