In this article MONICA MWANGUPILI gives us several exercises that will help us continue wearing those high heels we love. If we do not take proper care of our legs it can eventually result in leg problems in our old age.

Why you need them

—Constant high heel wearing can result in over use of certain leg muscles and cause problems like long-term joint pains, inflamed nerves, pain when you abruptly switch from high heels to flat shoes, just to name a few

—Here are a few exercises to help you prevent such problems; these exercises can also help you reverse these problems.

—Plus you get to walk and balance better in heels; you can even promote yourself to a higher heel.
