Take a course in how to walk in high heels
We all know how much The Diva loves her killer high heels and she was astonished when she heard about a course at a college in south London offering courses in how to walk in high heels.
Five women between the ages of 16 and 50 enrolled on the six week course at South Thames College where they were taught how to get the perfect high heel walk. Run by Chyna Whyne, the course also looked at the Alexander Technique to help women move more naturally and improve posture, which helps to reduce the risk of developing back pain from wearing high heels.
The Diva loves the sound of this! Not only do you get to learn how to walk better in high heels but it’s also really good for your health too. If you don’t have time for the course, here are some of Whyne’s tips:
- Foot exercises – do ankle rotations, pointing and flexing, and rising on the balls of the feet
- Make sure you buy the right size of shoe
- Lead with the ball of your foot when walking and keep your feet slightly turned out
- Relax the knees or your lower back can lock
- Understand the Alexander Technique
