Once I got up the nerve I jogged around a neighborhood track for 3 miles, got bored with that and jogged around my neighborhood. Once enough people see them nobody comments any more. I really like them, but interestingly enough, in some respects they are harder than jogging with regular shoes. They are easier on the joints but they are much heavier. It is not easy to buildup speed so the pace is slow but the calorie burn is higher than if you jogged the same distance.
My limit is about 3.5 miles. I tried to go for 4 miles Saturday and definitely overdid it. Be sure to let me know if you order them!! Jen

Jen,

Thank you! I watched a couple videos today and they look like soooo much fun!! I think I'm getting pretty close to ordering, I will let you know when I do, thanks again!

I ordered yesterday and they are here already!!!! It said it would take over a week and they were coming from Seattle but the box said they shipped from Ft. Lauderdale and I am in Florida also. Kinda feel I got ripped off on the shipping, 25.00, but just happy they are here.

I put them on and felt like a total giant. I am 5'8" as it is. I bounced around in them a little, but I will watch the dvd later and try them out some more. I think I am going to love them too! Linda

Hi..is there a balance factor to using them. I know u said u can run In them?

@Linda I hope you like them as much as I do. i have been jogging in them now for a few weeks. I really like them. I've been doing 3 miles and having a lot of fun. As I mentioned earlier, I like jogging in them more than doing the videos.
Enjoy!
@Renee- no balance factor for me. It is easier to move in them than to stay still. The only time I felt balance issues was when I tried doing squats in them, that took some major focus and core strength.

So far so good!!! I haven't attempted to take them outside and most likely won't until the fall, living in Florida, it's just too hot this time of year! So for now I will stick to the dvds! Linda
