I was watching a fashion show on-line and half the girls were wearing extremely high heels! So naturally, being a shoe lover, I needed to know the secret to wearing crazy high heels. According to a Canadian-born celebrity trainer (Ramona Braganza) it's all about strong muscles in your feet, legs and lower back.
So if you would love to wear high heels and confidently strut like the Sec n the City ladies, here's some at home exercises to help you out!
For your feet
Braganza recommends doing this 3 times a week – perhaps while watching TV or reading.
- Warm up with ankle circles in one direction five times, then the other direction five times. Repeat this three times and then switch legs.
- Next, do flex and points: flex your foot (your toes should be reaching toward your knee) and hold for three seconds. Then point your toes for three seconds. Repeat this fives times per leg.
- Lastly, do calf raises. Stand with your feet hip-width apart and rise up onto your toes then slowly lower back down. Do this 20 times.
To strengthen your legs and lower back
- Add exercises to your routine that focus on the quads, hamstrings, and glutes. Which include squats, lunges, step ups, hamstring curls, crunches, and back extensions to help with posture while you’re standing in heels
