Your Questions About High Heels

Exercising in high heels?

I've heard that exercising in high heels is extremely good for balance and strength training. I do it all the time in pole dancing class. It looks like some women are more extreme and climb mountains in high heels... Is doing sporting activities and exercising in high heels the new thing? http://www.flickr.com/photos/edwinkwan/6041184321/lightbox/

Our pick of the answers:

Walking in high heels is not a great calf exercise because the range of the calf is severely limited by the heels. It is roughly the equivalent of walking on the balls of your feet with your ankles propped up, not pulled up by the calf muscles. People participating in sports should always wear the appropriate clothing and foot gear. High heels do nothing favorable to any sport with the possible exception of pole dancing. Pole dancing is a fad spin-off of stripping and strippers wear high heels. So, pole dancing classes may require high heels too so the trainee can learn the moves in the foot great required for stripping. That would improve your skill level, a neurological adaptation, for that particular activity but will do nothing for you otherwise. Rock climbing in high heels is not a fad any more than rock climbing in a tube top and mini skirt. The picture you posted a link to is just a picture. You would be wise to give up pole dancing unless you want to be a stripper. You should spend your time developing the musculature and skills to suit your specific goals rather than just picking a methodology and settling for whatever comes of it...like Yoga, boot camping, and pole dancing. Good luck and good health!! ♠
