Yesterday I received a pleasant surprise in the mail – a pair of Jillian Michael’s new K-Swiss Tubes Shoes. I’m very loyal to my Asics running shoes, but since I have these I thought I’d give ‘em a whirl.
Supposedly the tube aspect of it helps with cushioning and flexibility. I have not run with them so I can’t speak to that.
Mostly, I like that they’re dark since all my other shoes are white with a tiny bit of colored trim. And I LOVE all things Jillian so I was super excited about her new line of shoes. I know her style isn’t for everyone, but I love her “no BS” approach. I grew up being told, “Are you a man or a mouse?!” Even though I am a girl I used to say “MAN!” because I wanted to be tough. She is tough. I want to be like her
I did Jillian’s 6 Week Six Pack in them. No review, that’s just what I did.
Then, I fueled up for a long day of cleaning and expo-ing with a bagel, yogurt and fruit. This left me hungry, so I might grab a snack in a minute.
Ben tried the Lemon Chobani this morning and really liked it. I don’t normally share my greek yogurt with him, but I’m not a fan of Lemon yogurt so he scored because I wanted to know that flavor tasted.
Now I have my Run, Eat, Repeat shirt on and am ready to head to the Surf City race expo!
See ya later!

I have been so curious about these shoes. The price is pretty great, compared to what I’m used to spending, I also like that they’re darker colored…I run on a lot of trails, dirt roads, etc and can trash out white shoes pretty fast.
Rose says
Those shoes are preeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetty.
I’m excited to hear how they feel during a run.
Amber K says
I love Chobani, but I just can’t imagine a good tasting lemon anything!
Kathie @ Frugal Fit and Fabulous says
LOVE Jillian and her no BS approach!! I seriously have a girl crush on her. HA!!!! I just bought her 3pack kettlebells set at Walmart (Im getting into KBs and this set is great for the beginner..tho i wish it would have went up to 20 or 25lbs). She came out with SO much this year. The only thing im not a fan of is all her diet pills and supplements. Blah! But hey, i see why she did it.
You’ll have to let us know how these shoes shape up for cross training purposes as well. I am a loyal fan to my Asics GT running shoes bc of my bad knees so i wont stray away there but ive been on the hunt for a good CT shoe and since I LOVE Jillian (and my casual sneaks have always been Kswiss anyway)..well, i may just buy them. HA

I like the way those shoes look. I’ve been dying to try the lemon Chobani but I can’t find it anywhere.

Melissa (MelissaLikesToEat) says
I love watching Jillian do her thing. 🙂 I like the shoes! I also like your “Run Eat Repeat” shirt! Where did you have those made?

Melissa (MelissaLikesToEat) says
Thanks!!! Great shirts!!
Marisa @ Loser for Life says
Love those kicks!
I haven’t seen the lemon Chobani yet. I’m on the lookout!!
Have fun at the expo, Monica!
Jennie @ Designed to be Fit says
I like all things Jillian EXCEPT the weight loss pills. When she came out with those I was so confused because her motto has always been that diet, exercise and hard work were the only way to lose weight…but I still love her.
Stefanie @TheNewHealthy says
I’m a Jillian lover too–I love her training style! 🙂
CathyK says
love the shoes! both the colour and the techonology of the sole (i work at a running store so i get excited about these things!)
have fun at the expo! can’t wait to hear about it!
whoa, had a flashback to childhood with the “man or mouse” comment – my mom used to say that!
Amanda says
I want to be just like Jillian one day. Seriously! I am a big time fan of hers. Jealous of the new shoes!
Can’t wait to hear about the race tomorrow!
Kara says
I like Jillian’s approach (tough love) but I don’t really like her. Especially now that she’s constantly selling stuff like diet plans and pills. But when I taught kickboxing, I taught in a similar style to her, so you’d would have liked my class 🙂
runeatrepeat says
I wish I could have taken your class!
Liz @ Tip Top Shape says
I love Jillian Michaels! I don’t know if I could handle her tough love during workouts, though. Pretty sure I would start crying. lol
