I've heard of those trendy "stiletto workouts" and I want to know, does walking in high heels REALLY add muscle to your calves?
I ask because, I have recently started working out, I'm usually on a recumbent bike for cardio, and I do strength training exercises with free weights, etc. I don't do much that specifically works on the calves, in fact I have been much more focused on my arms and abs. This new era of working out coincides with the beginning of an internship, where I need to wear suits (and naturally, the heels that accompany them). They stick us interns in a parking structure 2 blocks away, so I have to walk back and forth twice, including lunch, and add in some stairs depending on what floor I parked on.
Now, I have always walked a lot, and I used to work retail 8 hours a day in heels. But I just noticed my calves are getting VERY firm, and bigger that I'd like.
Do the high heels really do that much?? If so, I want to switch to flats! Any trainers out there?
