Strength training
When you're doing weight work, it's important to find a pair of sneakers that provides stability and cushioning, as fitness instructor Katie noted.
"These sneakers are truly PUMA's most progressive and design-driven training product yet. They're super lightweight and completely fierce! Just one pair that can work for you in the gym and let you work it after."

Core work
Take notes from wellness blogger Lynsee, who showed that the laceless design of the sneakers makes it ideal to throw on and get a quick cardio workout in while on the go. Be sure to check that your form is correct before planking!
"I love how the upper portion sits higher on the ankle, the design is sleek, and they feel as though I’m walking on air. They’re also perfect for traveling or
when you’re on the go because you don’t have to lace them up!"

Rowing
The sneakers also work well for all sorts of high-intensity workouts, as personal trainer Nicole demonstrated, from rowing sprints to burpee exercises.
"The shoes are easy to put on and remove and so comfortable. I’ve tested them out in a couple boxing classes and HIIT workouts and my feet feel totally secure in them."
