Working out in High Heels!

I'm going to start wearing my stilletos when I work out. I got the thought to do this so I started researching if it would be helpful! It stated not only does it help to tone every thing more, but it also strengthens the pelvic muscles! And that's a win win for every one! LOL Here are some of the exercises it suggested doing in heels.

"Do squats: Have you ever noticed how great Julissa Bermudez's butt looks? The Dominican TV Host has a rear that can easily compete with J.Lo's and she has her high heels to thank for that. She does squats regularly with her high heels on. Try wearing your highest stilettos the next time you attempt to do some squatting exercises, but start off doing less reps than usual. You might not be able to handle the intensity!
Lunges: If you're going to do lunges in heels, try a pair that features a lower, and thicker heel. You don't want to lose your balance and wind up falling. Try doing 2 to 3 sets of 15 to 20 reps. This is a great way to tone up your butt, quads, and inner thighs.
Dance: There's a reason why professional dancers tend to rehearse in their high heels. Not only do they need to get used to dancing in their tacones for the day of the performance, but I'm convinced it helps work out their legs more than usual. Seriously, have you ever seen a professional dancer with so-so looking legs? I didn't think so! The next time you decide to go dancing, whether at a club or around your living room, make sure to throw on those heels.
Plié: Here's another move that will definitely give your butt some lift. Start off standing with your feet wide apart (in heels of course) with your toes turned out and your arms at your sides. Now lower your body into a plié squat and while you go down, raise your arms in front of you, shoulder height with palms facing down. Hold the position for 3 seconds and then continue with 10 reps.
Warning: Your booty will hurt afterwards. Work out those calves: Strengthen those calf muscles by repeatedly going up a flight stairs with high heels on. You'll feel it almost instantly and the best part is you'll be working your thighs and your butt simultaneously. It might sound silly but it really works! "

I love this! I'm already trying it in a pair of 5" heels (they are the easiest pair for me to stand and walk in for long periods) and you can definitely feel the pull more!

But of course be careful! If you're not comfortable in heels try a smaller heel, wedges, or those sneaker heels!

Seriously? Just, no. Add some weights to your squats and lunges if needed, but please, don't destroy your ankles ... just, wow

My mom always wore heels. Now she always has to wear them. Her tendons shortened and now it hurts her to walk flat.

wow, that sucks. i'm sorry to hear that. Are there any stretches or anything else that she can do to try to reverse the damage?

She hasn't found any yet.

I have this too and I'm only in my 40s. The doctor said the only permanent solution is surgery but he won't do it unless the person is in constant, extrememe or it's some kind of quality of life issue.

I'm supposed to wear 1/2 - 1 inch shoes but I figure that the damage is done so I'm sticking with my 4 inch ones.

I go to an excercise place called Bring It Up Sexy in DC, and we exercise in 6-8 in heels. Swats are much easier in heels and softer on the knees. So Missy keep doing yo thang in your heels.
