Short Class 39: Toes and Intrinsic Foot Strength
3 classes per week
•
30m
This class is for the toes and the intrinsic foot muscles
Equipment Needed: Something to sit on and yoga blocks.
High-quality shoes, low-quality feet. This is a big problem in modern society. We wear overly supportive shoes, we don’t spend a lot of time barefoot, and over time all of our intrinsic foot muscles become very weak, which typically leads to problems and dysfunction in this area. Also having good toe mobility is very important when it comes to running, jumping, and other dynamic movements.
Because this area is typically weak and undertrained, you can limit your intensity on your PAILs/RAILs. Over time, as the tissues become stronger, you can gradually start increasing the tension to apply a little more stress/force. It's always best to start off light and slowly build up, especially in areas that are a little weaker.
Don't neglect those tootsies! I hope you enjoy this class.
