I can remember the day very clearly, even though it was over a decade ago. I was in gym class, and we had just run a mile. I had a goal of seven minutes, and I had finally achieved it. I was thrilled, to say the least, and I was excited to continue to improve.

Later that year, I ended up injuring my knee and I was never the same runner after that. I gave up on the sport pretty much thereafter, even though I was fully recovered within a year or so.

It wasn’t until more recently that I started running again, challenging myself to beat my previous best times. While the 7 minute mile was a definite achievement for me, I was determined to set a new personal best by hitting a 6 minute mile instead.

After weeks of trying for 6 minutes flat out, I was unable to do it. I was fine with seven minutes, and even with six and a half, but I would always get stopped short on the third or fourth lap in my run, simply out of energy.

Here are a few tips I’m going to give you that eventually helped me to get to where I was.

The biggest thing that made it happen was the fact that I started doing short runs at faster speeds. I would run a mile at a five minute pace, naturally stopping after two laps. This put me in a really good position to try for a 6 minute mile, which seemed easy in comparison.

Believe me, it’s not much fun running two laps at such a fast pace. If you’re serious about breaking that six minute mark though, you’ll want to do this in order to get there.

From here, I have my goals set higher. I think I can run one in less than five.

There are millions of training regimes and diets to get fit and firm yourself up, most of which involve changing your lifestyle, joining a gym or taking time out of your day to engage in some form of activity.

They seem too good to be true; you can exercise the same amount or simply walk around and your legs and behind get a workout that would usually take hours a day at the gym. But do they actually work or is this all just some marketing campaign? A team of scientists with backgrounds in exercise, sport and physiology at the University of Wisconsin conducted a study to test the claims on each of the shoes.

The sports giant claim the shoe creates a smaller, more unstable surface area which is significant enough to activate muscles without impacting the way you move or even making you aware. Supposedly your leg and bum muscles will naturally fight to find a balance point and will therefore work your legs and buttocks significantly more than usual.

The entire Reetone range was tested on two groups, the first aged 19 to 24 who were put through exercise trials and had muscle activation, heart rate and caloric expenditure measured.

You are able to wear the trainers, flip flops or sandals whenever you want and as long as you’re standing, they are working your muscles. It’s like sitting on an exercise ball all day rather than an office chair.

Kelly says, “I have always been energetic and active and I’ve always loved dancing. I’ve been surrounded by people into fitness and health for a long time, so have always been conscious about what I put in my body. I’m also aware of keeping myself in shape for my job and general lifestyle.

Consumers have so far gone mad for the Reebok easytone range and there is rumour of further, more casual models to be added to the popular easytone trainers
