Subject: Training Equipment Review...Z-Trail "minimalist" shoes
Got a cool piece of training equipment that I just finished up a video review on.
The shoe is called the Z-Trail Sandal by Xero Shoes.
These are "minimalist" shoes originally designed for protecting your feet for "barefoot" running.
I, of course, use them for other things than running...like carrying heavy objects (very useful in the summer for training outside, doing loaded carries).
Think of them as "Spartan Sandals" to bring out your inner warrior :).
Check out my review of the Z-Trail shoes here.

Also...a BIG THANK YOU to everyone who bought one (or more, or all!) of my Best Exercises books the past few days!
We've raised more than $3,000 so far to help save shelter dogs at Chicago's "high kill' city pound.
If you missed this, it was my wife, Kelly's, birthday on Friday and instead of a traditional gift (her passion in life is dog rescue), I put all of my Best Exercises books on sale for 5 bucks each (or 45 bucks for ALL 13 of them) with 100% of the proceeds going to directly help dogs (and cats!) get out alive.
In fact, she's already got about 5 animals lined up to help already and the dust hasn't even settled on this... :).
I'll be updating you on these rescues as we go here, too, so you can see the good your money is doing.
I've left the page up as I've still had a few more takers trickling in, so if you still want to help out and get some great training info at the same time, this is, by far, the BEST deal I will EVER have on these books.
Last chance to get Best Exercises books for 5 bucks each and help save dogs!
