Do you burn any calories just from walking in heels?

    Probably not as much as a guy walking in heels, since we're not used to it. Of course, a guy wearing heels would probably burn more calories just trying to stay upright, turn, take a few steps, stumbling, etc. :smile:

    In any activity, familiarity breeds efficiency. So if you're accustomed to wearing heels, you're not going to be burning any significantly higher cals than wearing sneakers. :wink:

    I'm sure you do..when i wear heels(4 inchers), i def feel my calf muscles working(sometimes a little cramping from flexing the muscle on such a weird angle)... and your body's on more of an incline so I would think it would.:flowerforyou:

    I agree with meganwojo. I don't like wearing anything smaller than a 3.75" heel and that's what I wear everyday. The first time I did my Turbo Kick class, I threw my heels on and OH my GOD, my legs were killing me 'cause my muscles were stretched in my heels after all that kicking and my legs were sore for at least 3 days. So bad but so good.
