As a chiropractor I'm often asked about gimmicks to help with posture and as an avid wearer of toning or rocker shoes patients often ask for information about them, like do they work and why do I wear them.

I always answer YES! They work and my long-suffering Piriformis syndrome is kept under control as long as I keep wearing them!

A Little Bit Of History

As far as I am aware MBT was launched in the late 1990's and various other companies have been scrambling to manufacture a shoe that can not only compare to the MBT but also beat it. This year 2010 - Reebok and Sketchers have produced a range of shoes that offers the same benefits as the well established MBT but for a fraction of the cost.

Like MBT the other manufacturers product are intended to increase strength and muscle tone. The collections, unlike MBTs is designed as an athletic or fashion type footwear.

As with the MBT the alternatives try to create an unstable walking surface but not to the same extent as the MBT shoe. The MBT shoe has always looked unique due to the thick sole but the alternatives have decreased the sole thickness, which looks visually like a normal shoe and hence is aesthetically more appealing than an MBT.

They are a lot easier to walk in, but feel like there isn't the same benefit as an MBT shoe. See the point isn't for it to be easy. The different type of sole also makes the steps shorter and quicker which isn't actually that comfortable.

Pros and Cons

That said of course they have plus points,many people don't like the MBT due to its hefty price tag and chunky look. Hence the other manufacturers offer a much cheaper and better looking shoe. That said - they don't seem to be as effective as the MBT shoe and all the research available to support the other shoes isn't quite as comprehensive as the MBT research or it hasn't been produced by an independent organisation.

My advice is stand out from the crowd, dig deep and by a set of MBT shoes!

Aggressive Skate Wheels

Aggressive inline skating is an extreme and demanding sport that requires a durable and performing product that can take abuse and be functional. Wheels on aggressive skates are different than wheels on fitness, hockey and any other type of skates.  Here we are going to get into the specifics of what makes an aggressive wheel an aggressive wheel and the differences between specific wheels used.

Standard Aggressive Skate Wheels

Aggressive skate wheels are built harder than most other wheels in the industry for a few reasons. Aggressive wheels use harder and more durable urethane to resist chunking, breakdown and cracking of the core from impacts and wear. To withstand all the gaps and hard drops aggressive skaters do, their wheels used must be able to take this abuse and keep rolling. Aggressive wheels are also much smaller than most other wheels on the market, they are designed this way to offer specific control when performing tricks. Although having smaller wheels cuts down on speed this is not an issue because speed is rarely the focus of aggressive skaters.  Aggressive wheels range typically from 50 to 60 mm in size with similar shapes to most.  A pro endorsed model wheel will typically offer the most durability and life of any wheel and will normally cost a little more.

Anti Rocker Aggressive Wheels

Often found on aggressive skates are two smaller and even harder wheels in the center of the frame and these wheels are called anti rocker wheels. Anti rocker wheels do not touch the ground and are often a durometer of over 100 which is really hard and dense urethane plastic. These wheels are used to help guide grinds and offer a sliding surface if the grind is not locked 100% effectively.  Anti rocker wheels come in sizes typically between 35 and 45 mm and for the most part have a similar shape to them.

Wheel Choice

When it comes to choosing the set up for your own skates there are a few underlying factors that come into play. The particular size and style has mostly to do with personal preference where most skaters once they have tried a few out can really narrow it down to what has worked the best for them. If you have never picked up new wheels or have not had to change your current wheels you can rely on a few things when making a decision. If you are planning on skating street type obstacles and doing more technical grinding tricks than an anti rocker set up with smaller in diameter wheels may work well for your skate style. If you are mainly a ramp skater and you skate mostly skate parks your choice of wheel set up would mostly be standard with a bit larger wheels to offer more speed and grip to cater to your skate style.

Let's  Roll

Now that you have learned a little about the wheels used for aggressive skating your choice on a set up can be more educated making your skating experience better. The best part of aggressive skating is the freedom of rolling and the ability to express ones self through tricks, all this can start by choosing the right wheels and trying different types making certain you have "your" wheels. Until next time, let's roll!

Guys!: What to wear while watching movies with a guy?

So I'm having 3 people over my house, 2 are together, the other is a guy I really like. I'm betting the couple will probably make out, so that will set "the mood"

Buttt..I'm not sure what to wear! We are only watching movies.
I had a few ideas:

I could either go really comfy- boxers, tank, thats it. But would that be slutty? I normally wear that around the house, but me & him might be laying in my bed..Or skinny jeans & a band t, or tank.

I'm not sure! He has the same punk/rocker style as me, but I'm not sure what to wear!

Help! Ahhhh.

go for the skinny jeans and band tee.
