So what actually is Instepp?

My name is Julie Ford, creator of Instepp

My passion has always been movement – having worked in health and fitness for over 40 years.

It is my opinion that walking plus resistance in the free fresh air (when possible) is the key to sustainable physical and mental fitness.

Let me tell you a bit more about Instepp.

Designed to be used from the comfort of your home or garden without the need for a gym or expensive equipment, the resistance band provides 2.3kg of resistance which is the perfect amount of weight to activate, tone, and strengthen your muscles as well as aiding weight loss and improve joint mobility and range-of-motion.

Made using ergonomic ribbed foam handles for comfort when in hand, red resistance tube providing 2.3kg of resistance, the perfect amount to activate, engage and strengthen your muscles on the go, and the unique black neoprene Instepp foot pad which fits comfortably inside your shoe.

Also included are the Instepp Hands Free Clips – These adjustable clips allow your Instepp to be handsfree by attaching one clip to your clothing at waist height and the other clip to the nylon cord of the handle. The perfect accessory for everyday use.

Instepp comes in a handy drawstring bag which can be used to carry your valuables whilst out walking and store your Instepp when not in use.

There is also an Instepp instructional exercise pamphlet included.

Instepp uses functional movement and can be used for seated workouts as well as standing.

You can purchase your Instepp here, let me explain how it works.

When you receive your Instepp, you’ll see that it consists handles, resistance bands and footpads

To put the Instepp on:

Place an Instepp pad under the arch of each foot inside your shoe

Place each foot into appropriate footwear and fasten

Grip Instepp handles, palms facing upwards and tuck your elbows into your waist

Keeping wrists firm, bring each fist upwards towards your shoulders, in time with your walking pace.

“Instepp is a well thought out and innovative approach to fitness. Through her long experience as a personal trainer and fitness expert, Julie Ford’s inspiration and desire to make a difference has won through with Instepp.

I have tried it myself, seen it in action on others and am impressed at the simplicity and effectiveness of this easy to use device. It is tailor made for those who want an additional workout while walking, as it addresses the whole body-mind in action .

Instepp provides neither too much, nor too little resistance and is ideal for toning and opening the myofascial web of the body, while enjoying the benefits of walking outdoors.

The simple and intelligent design of Instepp also enables its use creatively in a variety of environments in various ways. It seems to me that Instepp is the ‘next step’ for bringing an effective additional dimension to walking”
