Woo hoo!

As we mentioned last week, Nick Carter put a pair of Jordan's on eBay signed by all the members of New Kids On The Block and Backstreet Boys to auction off for charity.

We're happy to report that the final bid closed on Monday morning at $16,100, which will directly benefit environmental organization Global Green USA.

It's awesome to see celebs using their popularity for good. We're glad these shoes made somebody happy and that somebody in return made the environment a little happier too! LOLz!

Be mindful about what footwear you decide to exercise in – don’t go cheap on your shoes.

Wearing the wrong shoes to workout in can lead to terrible consequences. Bishop, et al. (2006) found that individuals who wore shoes that did not fit their feet properly, had tread that was wearing down, or were designed for a different activity than the one the person was performing (i.e. wearing hiking boots while playing tennis) contributed to injuries that ranged from sprained ankles to ruptured Achilles tendons. To make it plain and simple—-DON’T GO CHEAP ON YOUR SHOES.

Did you know most running related injuries occur because thick padding on the sole of "running" shoes encourages us to land with our heel first on the ground, instead of the ball of the foot.

Landing on the heel is often the reason for many knee, ankle, and even back inuries!

Check out video above to learn the proper running technique and get the most out of your workout, while avoiding any injuries!

Bring your workout clothes and sneakers with you to work. This way, after you get off work, you can head straight to the gym. If you have to go home to change, you are more likely to find excuses to stay at home, and less likely to make it to the gym.
