Check out these posts for some great tips and insights and then go for a run! Forrest Gump's got nothing on you...

Don't miss the feature on Kathy Smith and PGX on Entertainment Tonight and get your FREE DVD!
We're happy and excited to share the news! Kathy Smith will be appearing on Entertainment Tonight this lovely Friday evening. She's going to be sharing her tips to lasting health and talking about how PGX can help you get in the best shape!
To celebrate, we are giving away a FREE DVD of Kathy's 50-minute, total body workout. If you're strapped for time, don't worry! Her workout is broken down into five, convenient 10-minute segments that enable you to work at your own pace, giving you the freedom to customize your exercise routine!
Here's what Kathy has to say about exercise:
"Who says exercise can't be fast, fun, and fit into your schedule? I created this DVD to help you lose weight, get sculpted and feel refreshed in quick 10-minute segments. When you're crunched for time, try one workout as a fast and easy shape-up. Or combine all five for a total-body fat burning routine!"
Jump your way to fitness with this Friday's Fitness Trend, Kangoo!
These shoes are going to bring you to whole new fitness heights, literally...
I'm back with another installment in the PGX Friday Fitness Trend series and I'm bouncing in with a funny, intriguing, maybe even absolutely hilarious but looks-like-so-much-fun fitness trend in the form of Kangoo! So what is Kangoo and how does one do it? Well, it's all about the shoes!
Kangoo Jumps are bouncy rebound shoes that will have you, quite literally jumping higher than ever without impacting your joints! Three scientific studies have shown that with their patented Impact Protection System, these bouncy boots have the ability to reduce impact on the knees by up to 80%! If you suffer from a sports injury or the effects of one in the past, these shoes might be something to consider.
Without reading through the details of the many benefits of Kangoo Jumps, I think it's safe to assume that these shoes will give your muscles a decent workout. If you wear them running, you'll get cardio exercise combined with the core muscle engagement required to keep you balanced on spring loaded shoes!
Thinking of lacing up for a jog? Make sure you've got the right shoes for you!
I remember when I was getting ready for a big three-day trek from Paris to Chartres, France. The first and best decision I ever made was to purchase the perfct pair of running shoes. I visited a specialty store where an orthodics expert examined my feet, my arch and inspected my walk to match me with the pair that had just the right support. Although the excursion was gruelling, I'm happy to report that I didn't suffer a single blister!
It's true we don't all have the time or feel the need to visit a specialty store, but if you want to make a smart purchase for your regular jogs, check out the infographic below! Keep your feet and you joints healthy with good support! Happy running!
