Stilettoscot Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 There was a thread, somewhere here, that mentioned the release of endorphins in your body (caused, in his case, by wearing heels) resulted in weight loss for him. I was just insanely curious about this, as since I "re-started" heeling again 2+ months back, I've lost 27lbs, and hopefully will be dropping another 15. I know I LIKE the thrill and excitement of wearing heels (especially outside), but I had no idea it helped lose weight... This true? Walking in ultra-highs because it's exciting...and it is!!

fastfreddy2 Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 I've lost 27lbs, Sounds like a leg fell off? Well done. That's very impressive given such a short time..... I suspect though, like me, it's lost because you may be doing more walking now? ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stilettoscot Posted June 12, 2008 Author Share Posted June 12, 2008 Could be! I am sure the cobbler who changed the tips on a couple my heels didn't mind the extra business.. Walking in ultra-highs because it's exciting...and it is!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roniheels Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 I used to go for long walks in high heels at night when I was younger and it kept the weight off of me. I do need to start doing that again. I heard the extra effort it takes to walk in higher heels does burn more calories. It seems to make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastfreddy2 Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 I heard the extra effort it takes to walk in higher heels does burn more calories. It seems to make sense. I'd tend to agree with that notion. Certainly, my calf and tummy muscles feel like they've had a work out with walking just a mile in heels. When wearing trainers or 'proper' walking boots, I have to walk over 3 miles to even feel like I've made any effort at all. While out again last night (again local, in daylight), my walking friend kindly informed me I needed to walk faster. Seems she wants me to get my heart rate up .... and I can only do that by moving more quickly than I do at the moment. This coming from someone wearing flats.... ...

Stilettoscot Posted June 17, 2008 Author Share Posted June 17, 2008 I guess this is accurate. Last night I practiced for 2+ hours in my new 5.5" stilettos, and could only walk about 200' each time before getting out of grace and needing to rest. Good workout.

JNR Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 That's a start. Soon, you will be able to walk a lot further until walking in heels that high will be natureal. Just keep it up and enjoy the practice sessions. LOL:prize: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastfreddy2 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Thursday last, did 3 miles in 4" heels in just about an hour. Was a brisk walk, mostly in daylight but was very late in the evening, so almost no-one around. Believe me, was serious 'get fit' exercise.

roniheels Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Yes, dancing in 5" stiletto high heels for four hours will burn calories and give you a fun workout. I have done it twice and it was fun both times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stilettoscot Posted June 30, 2008 Author Share Posted June 30, 2008 Sorry abou the blister. Let us know how the next dance outing goes. What did the women think of your high heels? The girls with me though they looked good, with the peep toe and my pedicured toes. Plus, the Swedish women there loved them. Blister's gone now, and feel better. Still losing weight...
