If you’re one of the 6.5 million Americans that jog daily, it won’t surprise you that your running shoes affect your workout. But the question is: how and to what extent? What most people don’t know is that proper footwear can maximize your workout results as well as prevent long-term damage to ligaments in the ankles, feet, and knees.

In today’s economy of tightened lending requirements and loss of employment we are seeing a downturn in the startup of new health clubs and fitness centers. Even corporate fitness centers have dropped off due to smaller budgets, layoffs and the like. Likewise we have seen an increase in gyms and health clubs, personal trainers seeking used fitness equipment.
