High Heel Workout
Categories: Fitness
Let's face it. There's nothing sexier on a woman than a great pair of heels. They make your calves look amazing, and (assuming you don't wobble and shake) walking in heels makes you look confident and sexy. I can imagine wearing heels when out with the girls, at work (though I work from home and have the luxury of working in bare feet) or while out on a date ... but wearing heels at the gym? Really?Rosalind Neilen, a Florida-based trainer, has come up with the High Heel Workout. It's not just a workout designed to help you look great in heels ... you actually pull out your Jimmy Choos for part of the class.
"I live in Florida and October (when she first introduced the workout) is our month for getting out of flip flops and looking like a person for a change," Neilen says. The six-week High Heel Workout (two 30-minute sessions each week) will get you walking like a diva in no time. Neilen says the results you'll see won't just apply to showing off at the beach. "You want to walk over to your man without spilling that martini."
But why exactly would you want to work out in heels? The promo video for the High Heel Workout says it well. "How about wearing a nice cocktail dress and you have a fabulous butt, fabulous legs, and you stick your fabulous feet in a pair of fabulous high heels ... now you're ready to party."
There aren't too many women who don't want to feel sexy and look fabulous.
The first 10 minutes of the class are spent in heels. Participants practice walking to different tempos. Neilen says you'll "walk like a diva," "walk like a model" and "walk like you're walking with your man." She even provides water-filled martini glasses for some added fun. Then, you'll put your sneakers on for the last 20 minutes of class where you'll sweat and do some serious leg work.
So ... the High Heel Workout is a bit atypical. "People are intimidated by it until they actually do it," Neilen says. To encourage people to try it out, Neilen has arranged events with other activities such as silent auctions and massages for participants. It all sounds like great fun to me. What do you think? If you could sign up for the class, would you work out in heels?
Does the whole concept of the high heel workout have you scratching your head (or maybe preemptively rubbing your aching feet)? Check out more wacky workouts on Never Say Diet.
