Fitness STEP UP

The oft said adage, ‘ifthe shoe fits, wear it’ can apply to many situations but with Reebok’s launch ofa new performance shoe, the Nano X, this saying now has special significance for the fitness community.

Markingits 10th anniversary, Reebokhas come up with a versatile shoe to suitvarious workoutstyles. Cateringforthe needs ofpart-time engagers through to fitness veterans, the Nano Xcan be used forhigh intensityinterval training(HIIT) through to running, weight liftingand more –it’s one shoe forall.

Nano X (RRP $210) comes in nine contemporary colourways and enhanced features include:

• Elevated tech: Lightweight, premium upper material with Flexweave provides durability and breathability. • Enhanced comfort:

High-density foam collar construction dials up overall performance comfort. • Superior stability: Traction on sole provides surefooted feel for a range of movements. • Runnability: Decoupled midsole provides a smoother stride and added cushioning. The country may have come out ofCovid-19 lockdown but many amateur athletes are still practising social distancingwhen it comes to training. Reebokathlete and coach, Zeke Grove offers these tips for those workingout at home. If you do get

–Ifyou have never tried elevate, stabilise and intense weightlifting, now seek professional isn’t the time to start. Stick advice. to what you know and focus on advancingexercises you are familiar with.

Evaluate your space –Make sure your environment is clear ofany obstructions you could accidentally bump into and give yourselfenough room to complete your exercises. Ifyou are tight on space, stickto some simple exercises you can perform on a mat such as push ups, planks and crunches.
