Gear Up for National Nutrition Month in SKECHERS!

March 6, 2012 by Leave a comment

According to The Healthy Eating Guide, there are currently more than 25,000 fast food chains in the United States (an increase of more than 1,000% since 1970). Not only have the number of these establishments gone up in recent years, but the average serving size for burgers, fries and sodas have tripled since the 1970s, too.

With fast food chains (and adult obesity rates) on the rise, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics would like to offer some tips and educational resources to help “Get Your Plate in Shape” this month during its annual National Nutrition Month campaign.

Some of the organization’s nutritional tips include:

  • Eating a variety of fruits and vegetables
  • Eating more whole grains
  • Cutting your sodium intake
  • Controlling your portions

Aside from nutritional advice, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics also recommends that adults stay physically active by performing at least two hours and 30 minutes of activities that require moderate effort (e.g., brisk walking) each week.

Whether you’re already an avid runner or are just starting to conquer your health goals, SKECHERS has plenty of fitness styles to suit your needs and help get you moving during National Nutrition Month:

SKECHERS® GOrun for men and women

This ultra-lightweight, flexible shoe is perfect for all the runners out there looking to stay physically active.  SKECHERS® GOrun works to elevate the natural running experience, allowing runners to interact with and respond to practically any surface. SKECHERS® GOrun features an efficient mid-foot strike design and GOimpulse sensors for enhanced sensory feedback.

SKECHERS® GOwalk for men and women

SKECHERS® GOwalk elevates the natural walking experience, making it the perfect shoe for those who like to go on daily walks or do errands around town. Like SKECHERS® GOrun, SKECHERS® GOwalk is radically lightweight and flexible while promoting a natural stride for a more efficient and responsive walk.

SKECHERS Foundation Donates More Than $480,000 to Children with Special Needs and Education

March 2, 2012 by Leave a comment

The SKECHERS Foundation, an organization that was founded to provide families around the world with the necessities and skills to succeed in life, celebrated its most impactful SKECHERS Pier to Pier Friendship Walk by donating $209,000 to the Friendship Circle for children with special needs and more than $280,000 to six Southern California education foundations. The donations were the largest made by the Foundation and were the result of dozens of corporate sponsors, including presenting sponsor Kids Foot Locker, and thousands of walkers who united for the SKECHERS Friendship Walk in October 2011.

SKECHERS president Michael Greenberg presents a $209,000 donation to the Friendship Circle, a non-profit organization dedicated to making a dramatic difference in the lives of children and young adults with special needs.

SKECHERS President Michael Greenberg expressed his gratitude during a formal check presentation ceremony on February 16 at SKECHERS’ corporate headquarters in Manhattan Beach: “Our sponsors have done something incredible – gathering our friends, families and neighbors so we can change the lives of our children. Because of them, our kids now have more opportunities than what would have been possible without this walk. And we’ve shown that we’re not dependent on our economy or our state’s budget to make a real impact. I’m extremely proud of what we’ve created here, and to be part of a community with such great love for our kids.”

The SKECHERS Pier to Pier Friendship Walk is now the Southern California’s largest annual donor event for children with special needs and local schools. Along with the Friendship Circle, the funds will directly benefit Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Redondo Beach, El Segundo, Palos Verdes Peninsula and Torrance schools.
