You Asked: Any Ideas for Music and Running?
You're asking and I'm answering...
Dear Fit,

Surgery to Get Your Feet Stiletto-Slim?
According to Christian Louboutin, Barbie has cankles — but she's not the only one who needs a makeover to fit her stilettos.

High Heels Can Be a Pain in the Neck
My pal Fab has been seriously weighing the pros and cons of shoes replacing handbags as the ultimate fashion accessory. Makes sense to me because so many of the heels out this season are intricate and high. I mean really high.
Fit Tip: Keep Sneakers at Work
If you are desk bound all day, taking a break from work is absolutely essential. Even if you can only get up and walk around for ten minutes, it's better than nothing. You'll be more likely to take a walking break if you keep a pair of sneakers with you at work.

Tips for Wearing High Heels
In a perfect world women wouldn't be subject to wearing high heels. The world is not perfect and I, for one, love putting on a sexy pair of heels when I can. The problem is that I always have a lingering guilt in my mind about the strain I may be causing to my body.
