Today I decided to blog about one of my favorite things to buy…running shoes. I would say on average most people have about least 2 to 3 pairs of running shoes, however I have at least 40 pairs! I know that’s a little excessive, but I do love how a great pair of running shoes feel on my feet…and yes, I really have that many or maybe more…lol. Running has become more popular now days and there are a huge variety of shoe colors, fit, and styles in the marketplace.

I choose a great pair of running shoes by testing the fit and style of them. Because I have narrow, almost flat feet I don’t just run in anything.  I prefer to wear a shoe that is formed in the same manner as my foot. The shoes that I most often run in are my Nike (LunarSpider) racing flats or my Adidas marathon 10′s. Those of you who are looking for new running shoes I have a couple of recommendations for shoe shopping.  It is important to try on different brands and styles to determine what works best for your foot and running style.

My favorite running shoe list:

Nike LunarSpider
Adidas Marathon
Merrell Sonic Glove
Nike Free Run
New Balance Minimus

For years growing up, I would watch women looking over their shoulders into the mirror to see how they looked didn’t quite understand what they were looking for. However later in life, what I came to realize through my work as a personal trainer, that men & women alike, do appreciate  women with nice booty…lol. The emphasis on a nice rear is a major part of the pop-culture, nowadays you hear it referenced in songs, there are workout programs devoted just to booty building like “The Brazilian Butt Lift”….as a matter of fact  I was told  they make padded underwear that make it look rounder too! However the wildest thing I have ever heard was that people are having surgery to enhance their derriere.  Not only do they add implants to create additional curves, they also have body fat transfer surgery; it’s where fat is taken from an area like the stomach and added to other areas of the body such as the breast, buttock, and a number of other places that are too weird to discuss! In fact recently there have been articles in the news where illegal doctors were injecting people with toxic things like cement, which of course can permanently disfigure the body and create serious health issues. Although these are extreme examples, most of us wouldn’t mind improving the look of that area. What I would recommend is before considering costly surgeries is to try this exercise routine to build your best booty!
