It wasn't until earlier this year that I realized that my balance and proprioception was nowhere near good as they should be. I've had ankle and foot issues for years. And I can see how that's affected my knees, back and general movement. So I appreciate the foot strengthening exercises. Btw, the six pack abs on the foot in the thumbnail is hilarious.
As someone who recently had double foot surgery, I could use these tips. The goal is to be able to get back into plyometric movements. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
@@Poopdeck1015 I had a bunionectomy on both my feet. They took a pie shaped piece of bone out of my big toe and reset the bone. 1st attempt failed so I had to do one foot twice with a bone graph from my heal. Then got the other foot done 12 weeks after. Good recovery with bone broth and vitamin D3 (to help absorb calcium better). Best of luck with your surgery.
Doctors should have their older patients do these exercises because senior citizens usually have very stiff feet and that has so much to do with why they walk wobbly and fall.
I agree. Strong and flexible feet create a stable foundation. This is why I don't understand why there are so many exercises available for the ankles and legs but not the feet.
Loved this thank you! I've had plantar fasciitis for 2 years now and I am a pretty active guy. Tried to stay one foot and boom realized I have plenty of work ahead haha
A foot Dr told me about feet exercises but I had heart issues and no energy. Years later I got more energy and gave feet exercises a chance and I'm seen positive results. My shoes feel even feel better and even regret getting rid of some. Feels great when your clothes fits better due to better health.
Wooooah that first floor grab exercise changed the game! All the other exercises were stronger after. That plyo jump would have had me falling over but was more stable after that
I envy people with normal feet. They look beautiful and strong. Mine are flat, ugly and weak, the cause of my hip and back problems. But because of videos like this, I've already made significant improvement, never going back to therapists.
I’m a US service member and former athlete. I’ve been dealing with bunions for years. It hasn’t lead to significant issues so far but if I make a career out of the military I feel it will eventually create an issue down the line. My question: do you think it’s possible to mitigate bunions (within reason) without surgery? If so, how? I think your approach to rehab and strength training is a modern and realistic approach. I understand you’re not a surgeon but if you have recommendations (other than wider toe box shoes) please lmk. I appreciate your hard work and diligence✌️
Hey guys, je découvre votre chaines grâce à @MajorMouvement et c'est une fabuleuse découverte. Déjà rien que sur la dynamique du pied, je suis emballé. 👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾
Do you think that socks can hinder your progress,a s well? I found some of my socks are tighter than others. But I enjoy having them on during my training at the gym. (I dont want to be barefoot in a public space).
I worked insanely long hours in the kitchen and got the heel pain and plantar fasciitis. I need to do these as I am a solid guy, could lose a few pounds but I have only got size 8 feet. Really small for my weight (180 pounds) so they take a beating. Thanks.
First metatarsal head should be in contact with the floor (not so in the demonstration) while the heel and metatarsal head slide on the ground towards each other, when performing the “short foot.”It’s a difficult movement. Then you can practice hopping while maintaining that short foot position.
great,finaly i know whats my problem:my leg foot can do this,but right foot is too weak.by squating..... is my balance only on the heel and i fall back.this video is really helpful.👍
Hi Aaron, thank you for another excellent video. I am going to do these. I am a middle aged man who has always had flat feet will these help with building an arch? I always have a torn MCL. Thanks love your informative videos, have a great day
if i flex my big toe upwards its fine, very comfortable. flexing downwards i feel my feet start to cramp like crazy. ive been working on improving my weak ankles for the past couple of weeks, but my balance is still off because i have really wobbly feet
Nice video:) I have a question 🤔 Do you think we should apply this biomechanics even when we are out from fitness/gym training? I was thinking there are lots of reflex mechanics in running and jumping in which every person has a personal scheme, that could include pronated/overarched foot or valgus knee to maximize performance. Would you try to change this automatisms or would you use these exercises only in correction/prevention/rehab? Thanks
Hello! I was wondering if you could do the first exercise sitting down or will you not get the same benefiits? I was thinking this would be a good one to do while working at my desk. Thanks!
while i very much appreciate the advice in this video, i can't go past the fact that the thumbnail is extremely cursed, possibly the most cursed thing on this channel as a whole.
hello, what do u think about remove insole from vivobarefoot? (is 3mm 3+3=6mm,, without is only 3mm i feel more flexible, but im not sure is good remove it for walking on asphalt)
Hi I have so neuropathic issues relates too weak muscles and after a broken 5th metatersal bone I had to keep my feet in cast for 3 weeks after 3 month it seemed ok but suddenly I got terrible stiffneas in my feet that i feel sort of resiatance when I open and close my toes, do you think these exercises can help and do you suggest more to do . thank you😊
When I try the short foot activation with my toes pressed to the floor, the 2nd knuckle of my toes keeps bending/curling but he is able to do it keeping his toes flat. How do you keep the toes flat while activating the arch?
So, do I want to go for an estimated three sets of 10 on these exercises? Is it more effective to go for long holds like 30 seconds on the short foot exercise?
Do you have tips or exercises for my wife who’s both angles collaps inward and is in that position most og the time. She gets sharps angle and knee pains if she squats or even simple one-leg standing for too long. So is there and even “simpler” lower intensisty exercises that can help a weak angle?
Awesome routine Aaron. Feeling way better weeks later but a aide affect my old sgoes aren't feeling so comfortable anymore. Is ir normal if my feet feel like they stretched or widened. More thixker? Is this the growing strengthening?
I have plantar fasciitis and find it painful to walk without shoes. Is it worth to try to work up to a barefoot RDL or squat or should I just stay away from those?
I dont know what that means but If your foot hurts on the ground without shoes then you need to work on changing the structure of your feet and exercise it and other stuff a lot
maybe do physical training and stretches barefoot, then once your stable there, go for padded zero-drop or natural toe box shoes. i spent all of quarantine either in flip flops or barefoot, so me going straight to padded ergo shoes was easier.
In order to graduate from Squat University, you need to give the instructor a big toe thumbs up. While in single leg balance.
😂😂😂
While jumping
really? i thought everyone had to win at toe wrestling.
@@Know-nx5yo That's the after-party.
Ha, ha, ha!!!❤❤
its so hard to get abs in the stomach, ill try this instead to achieve the results in the thumbnail.
😀😀😀
Truly horrific thumbnail
@@porqpine53 you jealous cuz your feet arent defined enough haha
Possible
Offensive fake thumbnail.
0:12 Short Foot - don’t curl toes
2:50 Single-Leg RDL - do it barefoot
3:36 Plyometrics - e.g. single-leg jumps
That's the best demo/explanation of the "short foot" exercise I have seen. Thanks!
over ten years of foot pain and shelling out thousands of dollars for arch supports... but this finally ACTUALLY is what makes sense. Thank you guys.

Once we got the 6 pack we could rip off the shoes at the gym and flex. :)
How was this changed your pain?
I am a runner and I've had so many foot injuries! Thank you for this, I'm sure it will help!!
How's the running been?
There's research showing the longer you do foot strengthening exercises, the less risk of injury you have.
As someone who recently had double foot surgery, I could use these tips. The goal is to be able to get back into plyometric movements. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
What was your surgery for? I’m looking at a sesamoidectomy in the near future.

Love that you are uploading to youtube as well.
what percentage body fat do I need to reveal my foot abs?
Doctors should have their older patients do these exercises because senior citizens usually have very stiff feet and that has so much to do with why they walk wobbly and fall.
Doctors dont teach exercise
From years and years of modern footwear and "arch support"
I agree. Strong and flexible feet create a stable foundation. This is why I don't understand why there are so many exercises available for the ankles and legs but not the feet.
this channel is a gold mine
Never skip foot day.
Too late
Awesome tips! I've found yoga really challenges my foot strength. Will definitely be adding some of these exercises into my routine!
Glad you liked the video! Thanks for checking it out!
Thank you, I have learned so much from you so I decided to buy your book. Rebuilding Milo is great!
Awesome content to help me strengthen my feet in preparation for barefoot running! Thanks 🙏🙏

Awesome video!

Amazing thank you! Ive been wearing vivos for almost a year now but my feet still need some work 😂 always getting better!
super interesting!
At the first exercise Where from to pull the heel from side or bottom center?

One of the things that you could do is sleep with toe seperators. 'Wide' shoes are also recommended.
instant like for the thumbnail LOL

I think MTP-1 should stay in contact with ground in short foot?
amazing video thank you!
This is great

Two toes up!
I'm in love with your work! Do you recommed using a massage gun for soft tissue?
great,finaly i know whats my problem:my leg foot can do this,but right foot is too weak.by squating..... is my balance only on the heel and i fall back.this video is really helpful.👍
i can't remember the last time I saw a patient who could stand on 1 leg (and maintain an arch )...

What kind of feet problems cause plantar, bakers cyst and pain in lower part of calf right above Achilles? I've never injured my knees.
Hello! I was wondering if you could do the first exercise sitting down or will you not get the same benefiits? I was thinking this would be a good one to do while working at my desk. Thanks!
Interesting. I am having issues and weakness in my left foot. I cannot independently move my big toe up like I can with my right foot.
excellent
Thumbnail got my like LOL
Good information
What about if you have plantar fasciitis and a bone spur - do you have a vid on that or?
OnlY two isolated exercises for the foot muscles in this video. The first one, the short foot is a good one though
Is there benefit in doing some of these exercises while wearing my toe spacers?
I expected more specific exercises focused on just the food structure like spreading toes, towel curls, big foot raises,…anyway, thanks for sharing 😊
my traps hurt after power cleans and snatches. Can you go over shoulder blade positioning during the pull?
while i very much appreciate the advice in this video, i can't go past the fact that the thumbnail is extremely cursed, possibly the most cursed thing on this channel as a whole.
hello, what do u think about remove insole from vivobarefoot? (is 3mm 3+3=6mm,, without is only 3mm i feel more flexible, but im not sure is good remove it for walking on asphalt)
Is it best to stand on one foot for 60 secinds with bare feet??? 🦶🦶
thanks a lot for the video!
what sets and reps would you recommend for these exercises?
Nice thanks
Hi I have so neuropathic issues relates too weak muscles and after a broken 5th metatersal bone I had to keep my feet in cast for 3 weeks after 3 month it seemed ok but suddenly I got terrible stiffneas in my feet that i feel sort of resiatance when I open and close my toes, do you think these exercises can help and do you suggest more to do . thank you😊
Came here to give a like for the thumbnail
Are you pulling to the center or side of the heel?
My knees feel sore & left is week 1 leg jump off 2 steps. Where do i need to review for knee comfort & strength?
I do not know if I'm doing short foot correctly. I see no movement. Can you help? What should I feel?
When I try the short foot activation with my toes pressed to the floor, the 2nd knuckle of my toes keeps bending/curling but he is able to do it keeping his toes flat. How do you keep the toes flat while activating the arch?
Don't sleep on Paul Chek's single arm single leg cable push. Craaaaaazy good for foot strengthening.
So, do I want to go for an estimated three sets of 10 on these exercises?
Is it more effective to go for long holds like 30 seconds on the short foot exercise?
This is tough, want to get better at this
When and how many of these should I do??
Will these exercises help with metatarsalgia?
this video is gonna blow up lol, remember me when it does
Had to watch it since i fractured the ankle while playing football
Do you have tips or exercises for my wife who’s both angles collaps inward and is in that position most og the time.
She gets sharps angle and knee pains if she squats or even simple one-leg standing for too long.

Do these exercises help with plantar fasciitis?
Awesome routine Aaron. Feeling way better weeks later but a aide affect my old sgoes aren't feeling so comfortable anymore. Is ir normal if my feet feel like they stretched or widened. More thixker? Is this the growing strengthening?
This sounds like a good thing. I will get bigger shoes
I have plantar fasciitis and find it painful to walk without shoes. Is it worth to try to work up to a barefoot RDL or squat or should I just stay away from those?

Your feet are likely cramped up. Try toe spreaders such as correct toes for better blood circulation
I have to work on mine for wearing narrow sneakers for year.
