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.
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.
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.
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
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. 👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾
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
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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
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✌️
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
Role of peroneus longus should be investigated....i had the same problem...my achilles was stronger towards the thumb toe...my thumb was externally rotated...so weak tripod
"Short foot" is something I discovered nearly 20 years ago as a way to cure plantar fasciitis (which I've had six times since age 23). It shortened the recovery time from 2 years to 2 weeks. NOTE: You should have pointed out that there is a "bad" way to make the foot appear to do the same, and that is to use the lower leg muscle to supinate the foot. This does nothing to exercise the arch muscles!
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!
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’ve been doing big toe thumbs up since early childhood and family always teased me when I was sitting and the toe was up. But I was intuitively exercising them. lol Plus as a Pacific Islander we use our toes to pick things up 😅
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
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.
Never skip foot day.
Too late
I am a runner and I've had so many foot injuries! Thank you for this, I'm sure it will help!!
These foot strengthening exercises are great for runners. The stronger your feet the less chance of injury and the longer and faster you can run
I was looking for foot strength exercises when I arrived here. Like you, I am also convinced that these exercises are good for runners.
Heck yeah they are dudes. I’m with ya
0:12 Short Foot - don’t curl toes
2:50 Single-Leg RDL - do it barefoot
3:36 Plyometrics - e.g. single-leg jumps

Once we got the 6 pack we could rip off the shoes at the gym and flex. :)
How was this changed your pain?
That's the best demo/explanation of the "short foot" exercise I have seen. Thanks!
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.

What was your surgery for? I’m looking at a sesamoidectomy in the near future.

Love that you are uploading to youtube as well.
Lol the thumbnail for this video is great
what percentage body fat do I need to reveal my foot abs?
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!
Awesome content to help me strengthen my feet in preparation for barefoot running! Thanks 🙏🙏
Thank you, I have learned so much from you so I decided to buy your book. Rebuilding Milo is great!

The barefoot sprinter himself!
Barefoot sprinting is the way
Love adding variety to fitness. Feels good doing these exercises. tfs

that first foot exercise, my foot pain instantly went away after only 5 second hold thank you so much
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.
Best fitness channel on RUclips
Best thumbnail on the internet

Hi! I just had to tell you how your thumbnail tickled me and gave me the longest chuckle. It’s such a silly picture. 😂 Thank you so much. 🙂

Will have to try these at the start and end of the day. Seems a good idea.
Hey Aaron, please post this vídeo in portuguese! My mom Will Love to watch it
Great infor.
i can't remember the last time I saw a patient who could stand on 1 leg (and maintain an arch )...
foot gains!!
Two toes up!
you guys are awesome
Awesome video!
Thumbnail got my like LOL
I only clicked on this for that 6pack on the bottom of that foot on the thumbnail!

Great information. Have you ever heard of GOATA Movements?
Excellent thanks! So much to unlearn and relearn... back to the ways of our ancestors
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.
Amazing thank you! Ive been wearing vivos for almost a year now but my feet still need some work 😂 always getting better!
super interesting!

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.👍
OnlY two isolated exercises for the foot muscles in this video. The first one, the short foot is a good one though
This is great
amazing video thank you!
I'm on my way to get abs for my foot
Bro the thumbnail😂i can’t..
I expected more specific exercises focused on just the food structure like spreading toes, towel curls, big foot raises,…anyway, thanks for sharing 😊
What about the reps? Sets? How many times per day, per week part? Thank you for your videos though!
What about flat foot people? Will they benefit from it as much?
We’ll help correct your flat foot issue
Ty hv to take it to Italian garage 😋
this video is gonna blow up lol, remember me when it does
🔥
Don't sleep on Paul Chek's single arm single leg cable push. Craaaaaazy good for foot strengthening.

This is tough, want to get better at this
love this and wanna try! sometimes when i do SRDL's i get low back pain i don't get when i do a normal RDL, any thoughts on what it could be?
Anyone else following Hyperarch facial mechanism of Coach Chong Xie?
Good information
I'm in love with your work! Do you recommed using a massage gun for soft tissue?
Nice thanks
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
My secret is out. My confidence remains resilient.
At the first exercise Where from to pull the heel from side or bottom center?
I have to work on mine for wearing narrow sneakers for year.
I'm truly flat foot how would any of this help my feet
So now I know I've really strong feet. I can do all of them easily 🤷🏻♂️
I think MTP-1 should stay in contact with ground in short foot?

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

Would these exercises, especialy the last one, be oke for plant fasc? Thnx!
Foot up or shut up. Natural foot natty

One rep max toe curls

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.
My weak ass feet are cramping with these
useful and easy to do at home thank you no need buy one of those vibrating mats XD
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.
When and how many of these should I do??
