Here's an updated foot workout and stretch video :) This one is a bit more ballet styled and includes a few more of my favorite exercises. They are gentle exercises and stretches you can do everyday to improve your foot flexibility and strength as well as prevent injury and improve your posture, balance, and health overall. Maintaining healthy feet is crucial to your mobility! Take care of your feet, they do a lot for you :)
If you're here just to improve the look of your feet for dance, that's fine too! Nicely pointed feet will lengthen your lines! Having good arches for dance comes easier when you have the right genes for it, but that doesn't mean you can't improve the look of your own feet. My feet would not be nearly as good if I didn't work them out and stretch them every single day. I have worked hard to improve my feet and have always been keen on having higher arches for ballet. But please be careful, don't overwork them.

The anatomy of your feet is pretty amazing. They look almost more like hands than feet at times because of the way you're moving them. Pretty fascinating.

I was thinking exactly the same thing-- her feet DO look like hands! Beautiful, I wish mine had more of an arch.

@freddybeer 7 лет назад

I think there are exercises that can improve arches, hon. Can't remember where I saw them.

@judithwatson6859 7 лет назад

freddybeer I know there are excercises, and they do work at improving flexibility, etc (I used to be a dancer), but although they did help a great deal, I just don't have the genetics to get them where I wanted-- short of breaking my feet intentionally, lol! Thank you, though, for the tip!

So sad because I have flat feet I almost cried when u pointed ur feet😩

@BrainToMush 8 лет назад

+Videoprosuperstars You shouldn't feel bad. Feet are full of muscle, ligaments, and tendons that can pull the bones when you exercise them in certain ways. When I was a kid I had really flat feet. They hurt all the time. I exercised them a lot and they're a lot better now.

@mulchuepfer 8 лет назад

+BrainToMush Are you honest to yourself? Maybe you improved a bit, but in general it's a question of the bones in your foot - how they are shaped.

@BrainToMush 8 лет назад

+mulchuepfer I definitely have arches now when I didn't before. They aren't high arches like some people have, but I don't have constant foot problems anymore like I did years ago.

My feet are my primary way of interacting with the world and as a new mother these exercises have given my the strength to take on the additional workload.

Lots of comments about how beautiful her feet are - and they weren't kidding! Perfect toes, slender high arches and those legs look like they could kick a guy through a wall! I thought ballet made girl's feet look awful? These look toned to perfection!

@maddytaylor2552 9 лет назад

I used to dance and have several friends who do dance, and it depends on how well you take care of your feet. If you dance a lot en pointe or are just beginning your feet will blister but if you wear a specific jelly like half sock it cover your main bones in your pinky toe and big toe preventing blisters or bruises. Hope this helped and also if you wear regular ballet shoes you should not have any blisters.

@freddybeer 9 лет назад

I don't do ballet. I'm a guy who doesn't do ballet, lol! But that's interesting. Can you wear something now that will prevent the more serious damage? I guess so many years on your toes will result in some sort of consequence......I take it you really look after YOUR feet, Madison? Lol! If you didn't tell a person, could they tell by looking at your bare feet, that you danced?

@SmittenKitten. 9 лет назад

freddybeer She's right, it depends on how well you care for your feet, and if you dance a whole lot, you care less about how pretty your feet look out of pointe shoes than in them. Her feet are absolutely lovely though, agreed!

@freddybeer 9 лет назад

Do you do pointe, Kitten? It seems a shame so many things girls LOVE like ballet and high heels absolutely DESTROY their feet! I mean, there's only so much you can look after them, right?

@SmittenKitten. 9 лет назад

freddybeer Not anymore, I'm afraid (although I wish I had kept up my dance training!). You're so right about the destruction of feet! I love keeping my feet pretty, it's actually quite important for me, but yes, there is only so much one can do, but really, a little care goes a long way. Haha. :)

@Mariann907 8 лет назад

So glad to find a second foot stretch video of yours! It seems like no matter how much I work on stretching them out, they still get super cramped when I scrunch my toes in (kind of like you're trying to make a fist with the foot)...I just counter-stretch them to combat it, and keep repeating, but it's frustrating how much rehab they seem to need.

@LumpySpaceJenny 9 лет назад

Will this make my feet stronger for walking/running? Because my feet tend to hurt so I was wondering if this would help lessen the pain as well while making my feet stronger.

@BalletLisa 9 лет назад

FunnyFaceJenny I wouldn't be able to tell you for sure as I don't know what kind of pain you are experiencing and I am not an expert haha but yes it believe it will help with that. Will strengthen various parts in your foot like your arch and toes used for walking and running... I hope that will help lessen your pain. I would suggest rolling out your feet a lot as well before and after you go walking/running. :)

@somefuckstolemynick 9 лет назад

I would say yes, lots of people have stiff and weak feet from using only modern shoes (look up the barefoot running movement if you haven't already) which immobilized and supports the foot way too much. These exercises might actually be a really good way of training your feet to cope with the strain transitioning from a modern heal strike to (what in my opinion is better) a forefoot strike. I would be a bit careful with the stretching though, people dancing ballet have quite impressive and extreme flexibility in their feet, and that much really is not necessary for running, it might actually be detrimental. But you won't get that flexibility over night of course, it probably requires months or even years of intensive stretching, but it might be a good idea to just keep it in mind. And also, try just walking around barefoot as much as you can, it's really good for your feet! :)

@trumpetmama82 8 лет назад

I agree with the barefoot running movement BUT, unless the runner has very good Achilles flexibility, it can lead to forefoot stress fractures.

@somefuckstolemynick 8 лет назад

Louise Furukawa Yes, a person starting with barefoot running really needs to start carefully to let the body adapt and build up sufficient strength in all the relevant muscles and tendons. It's really really easy to get hurt if one switches to a minimalistic running style without drastically reducing their normal running distance, and increasing it gradually.

@somefuckstolemynick 8 лет назад

Faizan Ali Dude, what are you on about? First of all you don't know even know if that person is overweight. A lot of people have problems with their feet hurting when walking/running just because they live a non-active lifestyle. And sure, while these people may have weight problems as well, it's definitely no certainty. Take me for instance, I'm 173, and used to weigh around 67 kg (about 2-3 years ago). I used to have massive problems with my feet, couldn't take a walk in town for more than an hour before my feet hurt like crazy. Now I weigh about 10 kgs more (a bit more muscle, but unfortunately mostly fat, due to a major shift in life style) and still my problems have pretty much disappeared in only the last six months, thanks to systematically training my feet and switching to a forefoot strike when running.

I'm a guy, but I'm totally jealous of your amazing feet! So soft, like baby feet and no tensions at all. I suffer from overpronation and since I haven't exercised them (thinking it was futile) since I was a teen, they are totally stiff, in the muscles. I think you could easily suggest this training program to _anyone_ who cares about their feet, since it's a vital part of your body, like people couldn't think of. So, not just exercises for those who are into ballet dancing. :) I fell in love with this video. Of course, it was partly because of your feet and legs, but the exercises are so natural and great.

I definitely agree with most of the comments about how your feet are beautiful and how very jealous we all are, but I never thought I would find so many comments about feet, and I’m even a ballerina! Although , I have a long way to go compared to you. If you’re feet are that controlled and graceful I can only imagine how beautiful your dancing is!(not putting myself down, only complimenting you)
