Re: Changes in my feet. I've been wearing high heels (4-6 inches) for about a year now and have developed a training program that I highly recommend to anyone (male or female) who plans on wearing heels regularly. I spend about 45 minutes a day on a treadmill walking and running in various heel heights. I first run for a mile in 4 inch heels at about 8 miles per hour. Then I slow down to a brisk walk at 3 miles per hour for a half mile in 5 inch heels. Finally, I finish off at a slow walk (about 1 mile per hour) for 1/4 mile in 6 inch heels. This exercise, which I do first thing in the morning, gets all my leg muscles loosened up, strengthened and stretched, which helps me to avoid any leg cramps of muscle aches the rest of the day. It also helps me to avoid turning ankles when in 6 inch heels and makes walking in high heels the rest of the day seem like a dream. |
