Why is everyone overcomplicating this? For walking: walk as much ass possible barefoot and minimal shoes. Do this a lot to retrain your brain. When you doesn't feel the minimal shoes anymore and everything feels normal start jogging from time to time. Best to do this on a hard surface or pebbles. Your brain will do the rest. When you heelstrike on a pebble, you'll avoid it in the future. And squat. If you can't sit in a squat for couple of minutes, there is something wrong with your mechanics. I've done 100k walking/running in one go in vivobarefoots so I know not to overcomplicate things. The brain knows how to walk, you just need to create the condition to let it function wel.

Many adult ballet classes begin with these exercises. The teacher talks about rolling through the feet and begins with that. You might be able to find some ballet classes on youtube and do the beginning exercises. Of course if you do the full class with a teacher you will really work out your feet, but watch out for practicing without a teacher and getting wrong technique into your muscle memory. Pilates also has exercises for the feet incorporated into the class.

When walking in mountains, it's the downhill that's the hardest hitting, but in fact we should focus on shock absorption ALL THE TIME, the fast runners are almost silent too, and when sprinting it's like the feet are touching the ground very short time. Even walking it is needed to THINK about shock absorbing in order to last longer. in france we say "walk on eggs"

Even though it's a super minor point that he goes over quick, your abdominals, glutes, and hip flexors will take a beating the first couple months and maybe a lot longer for people who are used to only cushioned footwear. Yes, the calves will get incredibly sore sometimes, but the whole chain above it also will too, and you'll see how connected most of these body issues are to walking and running.

@kathrynemason1673 Год назад

I reverted to wearing no shoes - unless I'm hiking over rough ground and I can't see what I'm walking on - as I did until the age of about 40. I used to keep my work shoes under the desk at work and only slipped them on when moving around the office. At 60, my back ache has disappeared and my posture is improved. We weren't born wearing shoes and I don't believe we are designed to wear them.

I think Its a good idea to mix: barefoot shoes perhaps 40-50% and then shoes with some kind of cushioning 60% of the time. Cushioning is also important to protect joints and back, especially when walking a lot. We no longer walk on grass and earth like our ancestors did, but on hard concrete. Therefor we need protection. However, switching up with barefoot shoes from time to time is also a good idea so your foot doesnt get used to cushioning all the time. Personally i walk bare foot at home, which is already the 40%. So i dont need any barefoot shoes. (Also, another problem is that most sneakers have too much cushioning. Choose a pair with cushioning but not too much where it feels like youre walking on sand). P.S. you can also get regular shoes with proper cushioning, which have a wider toe box. (For example, Birkenstock sneakers, Clarks, Mephisto...make shoes with a wider toe box but also more depth, which is height for your toes).

Takes a while but ultimately it makes running on kind ground up to about 12 miles more pleasant . There are admittedly times when cushioning and protection make more sense than piety . Also it is fair to say some people are ultimately better suited to regular shoes because of their use , their gait etc . I have always been forefoot runner almost tip toe so barefoot took no great adjustment but I run with people of all sorts of foot strike . I can’t say that labouring the retraining required to run barefoot at our age is prudent .

Most standard home stairs are not deep enough to allow both the heel and toes of an average foot to be on them at the same time. It is practically impossible to start with heel down going up stairs. There is not enough room for the front of the foot. When I go up stairs, I usually never have my heel touching the stairs. I need to land on my forefoot with the heel "hanging" off the edge of the stairs.

A lot of this information is very good. But there is a major difference between are left and right side. Learning Postural restoration (PRI) is so crucial. When he talks about stabilizing the feet and ankles so your neck and head are aligned, he’s exactly right. Most people are stuck in the left AIC pattern, meaning they push harder into the ground with their right side and pelvis then the left. PRI teaches you how to transfer weight and move the left and right side in an asymmetrical movement. PRI POSTURAL RESTORATION INSTITUTE PRI IS SO IMPORTANT TO LEARN

I love that you bring excitement and knowledge to people wanting to go barefoot. I’m disappointed because you’re referring people to get medical advice from an unlicensed person- I’ve seen this a lot on RU-vid. If this guy is so passionate about what he is doing, I’d be really excited to see him pursue formal education and get a license to practice medicine in some capacity so he can 1. Do this legally and 2. Sleep at night knowing he isn’t leading people down the wrong path causing further disability. There are thousands of PTs who have the same background and passion in the barefoot movement but also have the education and experience to help you! If you are healthy than you can watch some videos and get started, but if you have any kind of diagnosis: plantar fasciitis, Sciatica, hip labral issues, IT band friction syndrome, knee ligament or meniscus injury etc etc etc see a professional 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽! And bonus: instead of paying out of pocket, you can usually use insurance.

@christopherbloor3901 2 года назад

This is a great video. Cheers. I've found that to help condition your feet and legs for barefoot shoes, take your shoes and socks off, splay your toes out as much as possible and grip the floor with your toes and then balance on the leg with your foot out front for two minutes. It burns like hellfire but that's just the new stimulation that your legs have probably never or barely experienced. One quibble though. Nose breathing is only good for short runs in nice weather. It's no good for long runs and/or in cold weather because of mucus build up. Concentrating on breathing also takes your mind away from the running, so you might not get as much out of run as you could. Just deep, steady breaths (steady relative to intensity) is fine.

@wellnessdaddy 2 года назад

Thanks! that is good to know

@Freshanatha 2 года назад

No you are designed to breath through your nose. Mouth breathing is generally only for extreme paces (end of race, sprints, etc.) You just have to build up to it because most everyone over breathes. I used to not be able to breathe through just my nose while running at an easy pace. Now I run half marathons all while breathing through my nose even in sub 20 F weather. Whenever you first start trying there will be a ton of mucus but after a month or so it will go away. For more info look up Patrick McKeown on youtube

@wellnesspathforme6236 2 года назад

So what is your argument (logically assembled data) that pose running (lean forward, mid-foot strike, hamstring snap) is not as safe as this? The idea is that you don't heel strike, which is where much of the shock rises up above the ankle/calf, running is much easier on your upper body. Having said that, the calves and ankles take most of the beating, but so those need to be trained well over some time to avoid injury trying to run beyond one's training level.

I have been minimalist running for a few months and have been getting consistent Achilles tendinitis. After watching this video I realized I have been running with sprinting mechanics. Everything makes sense now.

@Sharetheroad3333 2 года назад

You get Achilles tendinitis because you didn’t transition slow enough.

@HANDJOBBY 2 года назад

Hi, Cesar! Actually, running with sprinting mechanics is fine. Sprinting down to running down to jogging all the way down to walking pretty much use the same mechanics. The things that are changing from walking to sprinting, as far as foot/leg mechanics are concerned, are your cadence (how fast you're churning those legs), the tightness of the spring that is your muscles/tendons/ligaments, and the ground contact time. But those are just sight variations of the same thing. Regardless of whether you're walking, sprinting, or anything in between, you're still 1) landing on your forefoot/midfoot first, 2) keeping your feet directly under your center of mass, and, in the case of sprinting, 3) extending your hip/femur/leg and using your glutes to put force into the ground to propel you forward. There's a lot more to it, but for the sake of staying on topic and brevity, I'll stop there.

Loved this! I'm still recovering my musclesfrom broken tibia fibula,being my feet compromised from some crazy surgeries. Nowadays I'm looking to get back into barefoot, but I'm not sure if it's the best for me, besides that it feels great to walk barefoot. I'm not sure in what kind of shoe I should be walking! Any sugestion?

Another well-known RU-vid channel that recommends no heel striking at all when walking. Use forefoot / mid foot for everything.

Hello! Amazing video, I really enjoyed it! I have a question, what do you think of starting my barefoot journey of barefoot shoes 5 days befora an ACL surgery? Or better to start once healed?? Thanks!

I would start after because it will be inconsistent otherwise because of the recovery from the surgery.

@mroz8952 2 года назад

Hi, thank you for informative video. I want to ask, Do you think it is healthy for a person with flat feet to use barefoot shoes? Especially to avoid the overpronation and knee problems. Do we use something like Hoka One One, Asics Gel Kayano or barefoot shoes ??

@Mythichealth Год назад

I have had Softstar Switchback boots fall apart in 3 months of light use. Heal just pealed off from upper. They wouldn't warranty it. Their "elf lewis" wrote me back in support and said it was "loved a lot" or something. So every 3 months I have to pay 250 dollars for part time wear of the Switchback boot. And their support says it's normal. I also have had another "Sawyer" style by Softstar and the heal wore a hole right through bottom of shoe in same time about 3 months. Honestly very light use. Couple hours per day. I thought these would be good. I was excited for their products but unfortunately they died very fast and poor service followed.

Hey guys great vid here. I have been walking and hiking in Alta shoes with a wider toe box for the last year or so and I can really notice the relief and difference, especially whenever i return to wearing a casual shoe with a pinched toe box. I’d been curious about taking it a step further with minimalist footwear and I like the way those shoes make the feet look/feel. This vid really helped to break down that decision. I admit I am a foot enthusiast and was drawn in by that (great healthy looking bare feet by the way, guys. The killer camerawork! 😆), but I stayed for the great set of information and expertise that was being shared. Very well done vid! Easy to watch. Liked 👍🏾!

@corail53 Год назад

Those cushioned shoes generally have low drop as well . There is a very good reason why you see pro marathon runners using them - they are designed for lots of time on concrete. Pro runners mid foot strike just the same as barefoot should be doing. No one doing competitive running does so in minimalist shoes or barefoot.

This title is so misleading a trash. Barefoot shoes compared to regular shoes are so much better. Yes you should build up slowly. Why not title this barefoot shoes are awesome but slow build into them. This title is trash and just click bait.

Look at CARS (Controlled Articular Rotations) for the toes! They are fabulous if you try the first step of exercises (raising up to feel stretch in the shin) but you don't feel strong and/or engagement. Wearing sofa shoes (as I call them) all the time takes away the mind/body connection and sometimes we have to consistently bring awareness to that area for better mobility!

I’ve been wearing barefoot shoes for about 8 years. I’ve gotten achilles tendonitis which is getting worse. I mashed my foot in a motorcycle crash and my mobility is less in that ankle. Could this be why my Achilles is being a prick? I still run in normal trainers as I’ve struggled running in barefoot shoes.

@QuantumKayos Год назад

im hoping my transition wont be too bad. I dont wear runners and most of my shoes my life have been converses and vans. So well theyre not close to the ground but does usually feel like my heel and forefoot is placed at the same height, and I walk around a tiled house barefoot everyday as well. Very hard to find a range of barefoot socks here in australia, i think the toe socks are the only thing im not sure on with me beign autistic and my feet are sensitive, I cant even wear thongs (flip flops) because i hate feeling something between my toes. Also when I sit at my desk i I really enjoy stretching and splaying my toes out quite frequently everyday. Im not even an athletic person, but Im huge into pokemon go, which means there are days where im out on my feet for like 3 hours straight walking around. Sometimes more, and usually my feet are so sore, my hips and I always get such bad back pain. Hope this means I might have an easier time transitioning than most people!

I guess I'm a bit confused. Every video I've watched prior to this, implies that our "modern" way of walking (hitting heel first) is horrible for us, from the bottom up, literally. Even just re-learning how to walk, not even looking at jogging or sprinting, and modern shoes, have only compounded the problem.

@nowster 2 года назад

Don't run in them to start with. Make them your everyday walking shoes first. Then, after a few weeks, only do very short runs before gradually extending distance over several weeks. You will be relearning how to walk and run. This video is a very good introduction to it. Your feet and your calf muscles will get sore to start with as they aren't accustomed to being used. Don't overdo it. Your ankles will take longest to adjust and strengthen. (Ten years wearer of Vibram FiveFingers here.)
