The Pros and Cons of Wearing High Heels

Pros:

• you feel more attractive and sexy
• it increases your self-esteem
• it strengthens your calf muscles

Cons:

• tight, contracted and shortened calf muscles
• higher risk of leg injury

The best way to stretch your calf and leg muscles is by practicing these yoga asanas:

• Downward facing dog: press your heels toward the mat
• Seated forward fold (single leg or both together)
• Supine, single leg stretch (of course, switch your legs)
