Short Class 76: Big Toe Dorsiflexion
Class Focus: ANKLE, KNEE, FOOT & TOES
•
14m
This will be a single joint focus class for Big Toe Dorsiflexion
Equipment Needed: Something to elevate your big toe - we’re using a book in the class.
This is a very important joint position that is often overlooked. Having good Big Toe Dorsiflexion is incredibly important for all things dynamic. Example: running, jumping, cutting, lunging, walking/hiking. It's also a very important joint position in a Sissy Squat. The big toe is asked to flex in these movements, and to do so with a high amount of force, so it will be important to improve the capacity in this area.
We will work 3 rounds of PAILs/RAILs in our base, but always listen to your body and go at your own pace. If 3 rounds feels like too much, stick to just 2 rounds and slowly build up - or do the 3rd round at much lower intensities.
Hope you enjoy!
