Mizuno Foot Pataron

Even exercise maniacs have by now accepted that even though it isn't as spectacular as other forms of exercise, simple walking can be extremely beneficial to your health with a minimum of adverse side effects – not to mention that for many people who aren't exercise freaks, it's often the only form of exercise available or the best way to get in shape for moving on to more demanding forms. And since it allows you to achieve the same results with walking without leaving your home, the Mizuno Foot Pataron is a must-have no matter your level of exercise expertise!

Part of the Mizuno Healthy Interior line created by the top Japanese sports equipment manufacturer as an alternative to conventional exercise machines, the Mizuno Foot Pataron might look from the outside like a 445 x 360 x 150 mm (17.5 x 14.2 x 5.9") footrest – and indeed, can be used as one too. But if you put your feet inside the holes on the top, you will find that its rocking motion is exactly the motion your feet do when walking and as a matter of fact, because it allows for a bigger range of motion, each back-and-front rocking is equivalent to nine steps!
