It wasn't until earlier this year that I realized that my balance and proprioception was nowhere near good as they should be. I've had ankle and foot issues for years. And I can see how that's affected my knees, back and general movement. So I appreciate the foot strengthening exercises. Btw, the six pack abs on the foot in the thumbnail is hilarious.
Doctors should have their older patients do these exercises because senior citizens usually have very stiff feet and that has so much to do with why they walk wobbly and fall.
I agree. Strong and flexible feet create a stable foundation. This is why I don't understand why there are so many exercises available for the ankles and legs but not the feet.
As someone who recently had double foot surgery, I could use these tips. The goal is to be able to get back into plyometric movements. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
@@Poopdeck1015 I had a bunionectomy on both my feet. They took a pie shaped piece of bone out of my big toe and reset the bone. 1st attempt failed so I had to do one foot twice with a bone graph from my heal. Then got the other foot done 12 weeks after. Good recovery with bone broth and vitamin D3 (to help absorb calcium better). Best of luck with your surgery.
Wooooah that first floor grab exercise changed the game! All the other exercises were stronger after. That plyo jump would have had me falling over but was more stable after that
Hey guys, je découvre votre chaines grâce à @MajorMouvement et c'est une fabuleuse découverte. Déjà rien que sur la dynamique du pied, je suis emballé. 👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾
Loved this thank you! I've had plantar fasciitis for 2 years now and I am a pretty active guy. Tried to stay one foot and boom realized I have plenty of work ahead haha
First metatarsal head should be in contact with the floor (not so in the demonstration) while the heel and metatarsal head slide on the ground towards each other, when performing the “short foot.”It’s a difficult movement. Then you can practice hopping while maintaining that short foot position.
I envy people with normal feet. They look beautiful and strong. Mine are flat, ugly and weak, the cause of my hip and back problems. But because of videos like this, I've already made significant improvement, never going back to therapists.
I’m a US service member and former athlete. I’ve been dealing with bunions for years. It hasn’t lead to significant issues so far but if I make a career out of the military I feel it will eventually create an issue down the line. My question: do you think it’s possible to mitigate bunions (within reason) without surgery? If so, how? I think your approach to rehab and strength training is a modern and realistic approach. I understand you’re not a surgeon but if you have recommendations (other than wider toe box shoes) please lmk. I appreciate your hard work and diligence✌️
great,finaly i know whats my problem:my leg foot can do this,but right foot is too weak.by squating..... is my balance only on the heel and i fall back.this video is really helpful.👍
I worked insanely long hours in the kitchen and got the heel pain and plantar fasciitis. I need to do these as I am a solid guy, could lose a few pounds but I have only got size 8 feet. Really small for my weight (180 pounds) so they take a beating. Thanks.
while i very much appreciate the advice in this video, i can't go past the fact that the thumbnail is extremely cursed, possibly the most cursed thing on this channel as a whole.
Hi Aaron, thank you for another excellent video. I am going to do these. I am a middle aged man who has always had flat feet will these help with building an arch? I always have a torn MCL. Thanks love your informative videos, have a great day
Nice video:) I have a question 🤔 Do you think we should apply this biomechanics even when we are out from fitness/gym training? I was thinking there are lots of reflex mechanics in running and jumping in which every person has a personal scheme, that could include pronated/overarched foot or valgus knee to maximize performance. Would you try to change this automatisms or would you use these exercises only in correction/prevention/rehab? Thanks
I’ve been doing big toe thumbs up since early childhood and family always teased me when I was sitting and the toe was up. But I was intuitively exercising them. lol Plus as a Pacific Islander we use our toes to pick things up 😅
Do you think that socks can hinder your progress,a s well? I found some of my socks are tighter than others. But I enjoy having them on during my training at the gym. (I dont want to be barefoot in a public space).
Hello! I was wondering if you could do the first exercise sitting down or will you not get the same benefiits? I was thinking this would be a good one to do while working at my desk. Thanks!
Role of peroneus longus should be investigated....i had the same problem...my achilles was stronger towards the thumb toe...my thumb was externally rotated...so weak tripod
