Chung Shi 
Share the secret of the stars and tone up without changing your daily routine in the trainers that give you a secret workout as you walk. Loved by celebrities such as Tamzin Outhwaite and Lisa Butcher, Chung Shi shoes are the stylish way to tone the buttocks, stomach, thigh and calf muscles.
Chung Shi shoes have an in-built 'Pilates-System' with a unique patented reflexology bar and 20 degree curved sole. These elements work together to lengthen the body into a tall, upright posture, encourage the use of neglected muscles and improve core stability.
Even while you stand still your muscles continue working to gain a centre of balance, so just by wearing the shoes you can actually work your stomach muscles, helping to tone and strengthen your core without anyone knowing.
Many of us struggle to fit exercise into our busy schedule but studies show that regular walking is one of the most effective ways to lose weight, improve overall fitness and help reduce stress levels. These remarkable shoes can even help to reduce the appearance of cellulite and varicose veins, by improving circulation as you walk.
