high heals offer way to stable of a platform to get a good core workout. What you need to use is a swiss ball
Now that's a quality fitness routine.
*chanting* POP! POP! POP!
Wait...let me go get a pin!0 -
I think I've reached a point in my life where I realize high heels are ridiculous inventions. I certainly can't imagine anyone working out in them.0
-
a lot of people are doing it to target diff. muscle groups... but compromising your ankles and knees to target other muscle groups, just isn't worth it!0

Anyone else have sharp stabbing pains in their heels now? Just....OUCH! Damn you mental picture creating people!0

Yup, high heel workouts are a thing now. Not just squats either. Lunges, lifting, and even cardio. The worst part is, there are some "trainers" pushing the trend and offering high heeled workout classes promising that the extra elevation from heels works out your core better. Though, if you happen to be a podiatrist, I suggest you go to one of those classes and hand out your business card at the door.0

Since no one else has posted it...

Also the whole meme of women weightlifting in stripper heals, whats up with that?0 -
What brought this on? Who would even consider doing weight training workouts in heeled shoes? That's some Darwin awards crap right there.

My Rogue shoes have a 3/4" heel0

Dear God...there are people who think it's good to squat (or any exercise) in heels?! WTF.0
-
do people look at a stylized photo shoot and actually think "ah, yes, lucite heels...that must be the proper footwear for the squat rack"?0
-
Yeah, I read a news article about it the other day. Another fad for people who are too stupid to know better.0

Please. As little as the women in those photos are squatting? I could totally do that in heels.
For the record, yes, squatting in heels is stupid.0 -
I've actually heard of High heel bootcamps in my area... some people dont do it just for show/posing...
I wanted to actually try it just cause I wanted to do something different!0 -

These make it okay since they LOOK like work out shoes, right?0 -
Why the hell would anyone squat in heels?? Granted I can run, jump, and dance for hours on end in my heels but I would never consider squatting in them.0
