WHY DO DST ?
Working along with Hallam University's Centre
for Sport and Exercise Science and Dr Rav Naik,
Joshua Isaac Smith pioneered
DST as a stability training system that accelerates
postural and abdominal muscle activation in walking,
running and exercise. This means you get the maximum
body toning when doing DST methods.
Using MBT footwear,
these effects are enhanced even further. Below
is the the latest data on MBT Walking(Max Body
Toning), the DST walking system using the Dynamic
Walking Method of counter rotatoins of thoracic
spine, neutral hips, shorter steps, and using
the buttocks and hamstrings to power the body
forward. The data is in reference to wearing MBTfootwear
versus walking in normal trainers.

Recent studies show that during a 30-minute DST
Walking workout you will achieve:
- 26% more cardiovascular output and
increased heart rate than normal walking
- 17% more cardiovascular output and
increased heart rate than jogging
- 78% more activation in the buttocks
- 45% more activation in the hamstrings
- 70 % more activation in the gastrocnemius
at heel strike
- 3 % more activation in the multifidus
All Hallam University figures are maximum values
taken at various stages of the gait cycle. All
MBT Academy figures are taken as an average of
various time intervals using heart rate measurements.
