Sore Feet & Ankles and Burning Calves Rebounder Warm Up Stretches

[@Anna-yh5kb]

I'm glad i just happpened to scroll on your channel. I know i don't stretch as much as i need to. Love your channel and workouts i have been rebounding for about 8 months now and love it. I'm into health fitness and wellness so this is a great addition to my workouts i do already. ❤ Thanks for sharing

[@EarthOwl]

Glad you happened by! Thanks so much and feel free to reach out any time if you have questions!! Lots of workouts to explore on my channel.

[@MargaretGiroux-f5x]

I just found you as you popped up on KZbin You are a delight to watch, with a warm and pleasant manner. You are such a good instructor and I look forward to following you ASAP! Mimi aka Margaret Arlington Heights IL.

Thank you so much! Definitely check out my playlists to zero in on the types of workouts you're looking for as I have many styles.

Unfortunately, I am not able to do a lot of these stretches' due to my spine issues but I did do a modified calf stretch, holding onto my kitchen bar. I REALLY appreciate you showing the myofascial release techniques! THANK YOU ! Ankle pain was a HUGE issue for me for many months. I can finally do 5 minutes on the rebounder now (with no achilles tendon or ankle pain).

[@EarthOwl]

Oh shoot. Is forward folding contraindicated for you? Yes, you could definitely stand for the back and forth ankle stretch. The myofascial release techniques would also be so helpful! Thanks for being a channel member and congrats on working your way up to 5 minutes. Woohoo!! I appreciate your feedback. Have a great day!

Holy crap that felt amazing

[@EarthOwl]

Great! Glad it was helpful!!

[@susanh824]

This was good! I really felt the zig-zag cross fibering. The foot rolling was really good, too. I had recommended this to someone with sore feet and thought I would give it a try. I'm glad I did. Thanks!

Thanks for sharing!

[@valeriehouseknecht6606]

This was wonderful, thank you!

[@EarthOwl]

Glad it was helpful!

[@leigh7802]

These are terrific stretches too warm up with! I put a small wood block or a tightly rolled up towel between my calves and hamstrings. Hold for a few minutes and move the wood or towel to another spot on your calf.

[@EarthOwl]

Great idea!! Thanks!

[@dessiecoder2116]

Great warm up.

[@EarthOwl]

Thank you!

Going to save this. Not inactive as I workout 45 min + 20 min walk M-Sat but started rebounding maybe a month ago and do 10 min only (started initially with a minute, then a few min then 5 minutes and added on 10 min. I usually do a 45 min workout before my 10 min rebounding. My calves have been so sore and a bit swollen lately so I've stopped rebounding for 3 days and calves look fine now but still sore. Appreciate this video and will give it a try.

[@EarthOwl]

Thanks! Hope it helps!

Can these be modified if we can't get on the floor?

[@EarthOwl]

There are many stretches that you can do without getting to the floor. :) I have a couple of chair yoga classes in the yoga playlist on my channel. You can also perform a KZbin search for seated stretches.

[@dessiecoder2116]

Carole Jordan has a video for ankle calf exercises that are in the air

[@MireillePrice]

I don’t have yoga block would my foam roller work?

[@EarthOwl]

Sure! You could use your foam roller!

[@kuliadebord3845]

Thank you for your helpful videos! I find my calves burn a lot through out my rebounding. I use a spring rebounder. Do you think if I got a jumpsport or other bungee rebounder it would be easier on the calves?

[@EarthOwl]

I couldn't say for sure, but many people do find relief when they switch from spring to bungee. Some bungee rebounders are better than others.

[@kuliadebord3845]

@@EarthOwlthank you!

[@Marleybeans30]

@earth & owl I am not in the US so unfortunately, I can't buy your item on Amazon. From Amazon UK I bought a myofacial release foot , back, trigger points treatment ball. Is this similar? Its pretty hard not sure why I thought it would be soft. Thanks

[@EarthOwl]

I couldn't say for sure if it's similar, but I would think so. Mine are a rubbery texture and have some give to them. I have used some that are too hard before.

[@Marleybeans30]

Thank you. I managed to read the description on your Amazon store and I have found the same ​@@EarthOwl

[@denisefasciani1268]

I love this stretch Myofascial’s release work. I am a massage therapist and I hate it when my ankles click and crack when I’m working on my clients. Love rebounding but found that it made the clicking worse and my ankles tighter so so glad you made this video. It’s perfect way for me to start my day.

[@EarthOwl]

Glad it helps! Thank you!!

[@cbear8150]

I love how the (fellow) preschool teacher in you says "... suffering from 'ouchie' feet and toes." LOL

[@EarthOwl]

Can't take the pre-school teacher outta the girl I guess!

[@LindyK]

Question: how do I know my core is engaged? Just by getting in that position? Or should I feel something in the abdomen? Second: I thought I read to land on balls. So you’re saying land on heels? I’m a senior, with tight weak back muscles and core, especially left QL area.

[@EarthOwl]

I do not advise landing on the balls of your feet. Equal weight distribution in feet when rebounding. Yes, you should feel something in your abdominal muscles when you engage your core. Take a big deep breath and then push all the air out of your lungs. Feel that tightening sensation in your abdomen? That's core engagement.

[@whisperingoaks4841]

I needed this, my calves burn after a minute.

[@EarthOwl]

Glad it helps!! Keep stretching. That feeling typically subsides for people once they get into a routine.

[@Rroll100]

I guess I am lucky, never suffered from any of this!!

[@EarthOwl]

I didn't either, but it is a fairly common issue. Typically stretching does wonders to improve the problem.

[@crystalhill8063]

Are you certified?

[@EarthOwl]

Yes, in yoga and rebounding.
