It can be. Let us know how you go

Totally agree. It’s a shame more shoe brands don’t have wider toe boxes.

Yes - start with a light weight first. It’s a great exercise for full body balance & stability

I was afraid for your toes!

Thanks for feedback

All the way from “New Zealand”

@@davidsykes1980 Yeah but for us its the same 😂

We love our Australian neighbours

Every 2nd day to begin with to gain activation. Then after a couple of weeks complete the first 3 to 4 exercises twice a week to prime the big toe. - the kettlebell circle is an extra that can added to an existing strength routine ( start light with this one)

Thank for this. Great info. Great video.

Let us know how they go. Good luck for the half marathon

A toe spreader and/or using some active assistance

Getting an assessment with a good therapist can be a good start

Keep trying- - you can assist with your fingers to start with

Are they webbed too 😂?

My daughters are the musical ones. Stella (aged 11) plays the guitar, Eva (aged 13) is a singer and uke player.

Yes and yes. I use for 15min 3 X week on my back - it’s also great for feet

I wanted to outline the ‘why’ before the ‘do’ - but appreciate the feedback.

I definitely needed to use my hand/fingers to keep the other toes down the first few times and even to lift the big one. Eventually the brain seemed to connect to the right wiring and i could remove that support 😉

My advice would be getting some shoes with a wide toe box to start with and keep at the exercises

@@EverFITcoach I have the same situation, I can not spread them or move separately, just roll them as a unit of five. I tried to learn to maneuver my toes for a while and never made any progress, but since I have no problems with my feet I always thought it must be a permanent issue, like some people can roll their tongue and some can't. I've never had any pain. Would you say it is necessary to be able to move them separately? I know from what I have previously tried that it would take ages to learn for me and I don't want to invest so much time if the other exercises would suffice. Thank you!

The body can adapt to make up for dysfunction

Old pair of Altra’s

Start gradually with low reps every other day and build from there. If pain persists see your trusted therapist

Absolutely

Ha! Appreciate the feedback- I do speak on holistic health

He said at the very beginning he’s from New Zealand, so not very Australian…

0/10 - I’m a kiwi

Sorry you feel that way. I’m proud of my country Aotearoa and want to acknowledge the Maori people. Kia ora also literally means ‘be well’.

@@TheRunExperience it's New Zealand. Just like Australia is Australia , just like Canada is Canada. Do moari's thank the Anzac's for fending off the japanese? Yes a lot fought in the war but they didn't use spears and boomerangs and were a minority. I know aboriginals don't recognise ANZACs at welcome to country after ww2 (we aren't all speaking japanese), they don't thank for bringing running water and indoor plumbing. It's all our lands after living sacrificing through ww2. I don't see why supporting those trying to erase white culture should be supported constantly. Eventually leads to thinking like the Israelis displacing a million people and committing war crimes in the name of land rights is justified. Anyway this a running channel, and that woman during covid who was your PM was really ick and turned me onto the connection with the constant fake smile and saying the native greeting, while saying I should do a bunch of anti human spirit stuff for Pfizer. Makes me want to go for a cleansing run just thinking about it. I know you disagree and i hope you don't I belong in a camp for having these view, like Jacinta Arden did, said unvaxed belong in camps and said with a ick smile on her face. How to gaslight a people. That baby being taken away when parents didn't want vaccine laced blood transfusion in there baby when countless unvaccinated donors available. All feels connected.
