Do Shape-Ups/Easy Tones Help Tone Up/Lose Weight?

Question

Do they really help tone up or to lose weight?

And if yes,do they help get rid of leg/thigh muscles?I'm trying to lose muscle...

Would they help create a space in between my thighs?

The shape up seems unsafe in my opinion because I'd like to wear the shoes while running,but the shape doesn't look too safe.

My sister and I had been contemplating buying Reebok Easy Tones for quite some time but we're just sticking with Nike athletic running sneakers for now. From my understanding, Reebok Easy Tones aren't meant for straight-up running because the balance ball technology makes you compensate for being slightly off and so your muscles work harder and longer. There are obviously some results, but not enough to justify me paying for sneakers that I have to get used to and pay considerable money for. And to be honest, they look kind of ugly - especially Sketchers Shape Ups.

That's just my two cents.

Not really. If anyone is looking to lose weight and get in shape, there are no short cuts. It comes from eating right (healthfully, and in decent amounts) and working out with a combo of cardio and weight training.

Plus, it feels so much better to be in shape knowing you worked hard for it.

its not the shoe that makes you lose weight, its the fact that you start walking/running.  people who buy those shoes think that if they start walking in them they will lose weight, but really walking in any shoes will help.  the shoes don't make a difference, the fact that the people start exercising does

By the way, you don't "lose muscle." Nor do you create more of it. You simple increase or decrease the size. You do this by weight training, but using lighter weights. Don't push too hard, but don't go way to easy. That and lots of cardio.

I've heard that they don't work that well, and it doesn't seem safe to run in them either. I don't know, they sound like a waste of money to me.

I haven't used them, but it doesn't take a genius to see that wearing shoes isn't gonna help you lose weight. I do think there is a possibility that the shape ups may help you gain muscle in your legs. I suppose it kinda works like wearing high heals helps build muscle. But you want to LOSE muscle? If you want to lose muscle then don't exercise or eat--but that is SO unhealthy! And why would you want to lose muscle?
