The NFL has joined the fight against childhood obesity by launching their NFL PLAY 60 campaign. Players like Drew Brees, Hines Ward, Mario Williams and Troy Polamalu have all joined the cause and are encouraging kids to get active, be it at school, after school or in team sports.

By targeting adults, the crux of the campaign is to encourage kids to be active for just 60 minutes every day with PLAY 60 games (such as NFL Flag) that teach them why it’s important to exercise, as well as contests that get them to be active outdoors. If you can’t teach or coach kids, then you can also donate money to one of the campaign’s partner organizations.

A little ironic considering that the NFL is stocked with individuals who are obese around the midgut… just saying…

I’m sure everyone’s seen the commercial for the new Reebok Women’s EasyTone Rush SF Walking Shoe (above), but are the promises Reebok make reasonable? Likened to the FitFlop and NGR shoes, it is being claimed that EasyTones work and tone your muscles as you walk.

The balance pod system creates a “natural” instability when you walk, technically throwing your step off balance. Your leg and butt muscles then have to work extra hard to compensate for this movement, engaging your muscles more. Reebok have run tests that apparently verify the EasyTone works your butt 28% more and your hamstrings and calves 11% more than other sneakers. But do these kinds of exercise shoes really work?
