Running<\/strong> Buying a pair of shoes is like an investment for your feet. Unless you have multiple pairs (like\u00a0yours truly) you\u2019re going to be stuck with them for six months to a year. Take your time to make an\u00a0informed decision, try on as many as you can, read online reviews, and always buy for comfort not\u00a0looks.<\/p>\n Stay Fit Hawks!<\/p>\n – Ryan Harvot<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hey everyone it\u2019s your favorite Fitness Supervisor Ryan checking in!

\nWeightlifting<\/strong>
\nWeightlifting can entail a numerous amount of things, but for recommendations sake it is
\neverything short of Olympic style powerlifts (Cleans, Snatches, and Deadlifts). When weightlifting you\u00a0want a solid base or both feet flat on the ground. For that reason I would recommend a training shoe,\u00a0training shoes are built with a wide base in the front of the foot and completely flat. This allows you to\u00a0keep almost all of your foot on the ground helping you generate the most power possible when lifting.\u00a0The flat foot also helps with lateral movements where a narrower soled shoe would put you at risk of\u00a0rolling an ankle.<\/p>\n
\nThe name itself is pretty self-explanatory, running shoes are meant for running or just about any\u00a0type of cardio for that matter. Selecting a running shoe is far more difficult in my opinion than a training\u00a0shoe. There are so many different types to choose from the best advice I can give is to try on as many\u00a0pairs as possible before you make your decision. The two shoes that I find people like to run in the most\u00a0are shoes with a high amount of cushion or shoes with zero cushion. Shoes with high cushion are great\u00a0for comfort and can reduce impact when running. A high cushion shoe can also help individuals who are
\noverweight feel less stress on their body while performing cardio. Zero cushion shoes do the exact\u00a0opposite. They provide a barefoot feel when running, which a lot of people love. These shoes tend to be\u00a0less rigid and in some cases extremely flexible.<\/p>\n
