87% lol what a weird number wtf

[@joed7331]

Not weird, just not talked about🤷🏽‍♀️

[@doudledown1212]

Thank you so much, this is perfect for my foot recovery. I actually just broke my left big toe metatarsal and this is perfect for physical therapy.

[@kaltask1]

foot pain is weirder? how about 6 years of pain in the foot. MRI and every neurophysical test done, no issues. Flying colors on everything. Even after re-learning how to walk for 2 years and pain still persists. That is weirder.

[@sameersaqib4119]

Never skip foot day

[@pschulze]

Funny I never questioned the strength of my feet until this video

[@Kaze_theNamek]

​@@pschulzeI can't wait until foot wrestling is a thing

[@martinezjames83]

😂😂😂😂

[@donotcomply1628]

NSFD, baby!!!

[@i_want_my_shuggah]

​@@Kaze_theNamek😂😂😂😂😂

[@ECVanPuz]

Relate totally to this and thanks for practical advice. Neither my physio nor the surgeon who wants to reduce the length of my 2nd toe ( illustration perfect) have ever mentioned such specific exercices. I'm starting tomorrow.

[@paige3691]

How do you reduce the length of your toe 😳

[@ECVanPuz]

@@paige3691 exactly! By shaving it, I imagine !! That's why I want to avoid surgery 🫣

[@eloquentsloth6080]

You should also look into barefoot walking, barefoot shoes, minimalist shoes, or foot-shaped shoes. Much foot deformity comes from the cramped space they are shoved into on a daily basis

[@ShanteRoxxane]

Toe length reduction sounds extreme and likely not necessary.

[@fredrikandersson1846]

Don't do sirgery until uou try and strengthening your toes amd feet by tryi g these exercises for example and buy toespacers and shoes with wide toeboxes amd try walk around barefopt or at least in socks as much as possible

[@ld2048]

i notcied after sticking with these 11 double wide boots, my feet slowly started filling them in, now they're a comfortable fit, and i have much less foot pain!

[@free_icecream76]

So you're a double wide surprise

[@eloquentsloth6080]

Just wait until you find out about zero drop soles

[@matthewlydon5772]

​@@eloquentsloth6080and vibram toe shoes

[@jaminwaite3867]

Never heard of a double wide shoe!

[@DivinoSommelierDivino]

Eu não sabia que tinha dedos nos pés 😮 após este vídeo vou cuidar deles 😊😅😅😅😅

[@guesswho2390]

Here for this foot revolution. My feet are irreparably screwed up because of narrow shoes and unsupportive sandals and heels. I want the whole society to head towards very wide shoes because we’re so conditioned to think that pointy and narrow is beautiful while it’s ruining our natural ability and design of our feet. We can condition ourselves back to how it was before this pointy toed mess. I literally can’t find one decent office shoe for women in corporate jobs. None of the outfits go with any shoe with a wide toe box

[@eloquentsloth6080]

You actually don't want your shoes to be supportive if you want to mimic barefoot walking. Something like a pair of earthrunners is great for your feet but has no support at all. It just lets you spread your toes, which activates your arches.

[@TheCycloneTrooper]

Wear chappal or sandal then with adjustable side straps

[@marcinovski]

Belenka or vivobarefoot

[@MiauMichigan]

Unsupportive sandals and walking barefoot are the best. Don't blame the poor sandals 😢

[@VudrokWolf]

I will definitely watch this my shoes too narrow too small tucked my feet and I have injured my sciatica because of it and multiple back injuries

[@kberanoyd]

Backward and forward sleds is the easiest way to incorporate foot strengthening into a workout without having to do separate exercises. It’ll hit everything in the lower body. Go heavy 1.5x body weight , go slow 30-45 seconds each way, go barefoot OR barefoot shoes.

[@Some_guy09]

This will easily be the most viewed video on your channel. Give it another few months. Wonderful cover.

[@jonathanbullman7058]

Got to add foot day to my workout regimine

[@Noneofyourbusiness-rq9jq]

how have billions of earthlings managed to survive and thrive without this for so long it's unbelievable 😂

[@lifeofatruckerswife]

So true!!! I had plantar fasciitis for TWO years....some nights i literally had to crawl to the restroom....never neglect your feet

[@callmeloro]

What worked the best for you? I've also been struggling for 2 years

[@lifeofatruckerswife]

@@callmeloro I went through several pairs of shoes before I found a pair that somewhat helped... sketchers helped...and I also got a pair of compression socks (specifically for plantar...the heel is cut out and the toes...)I wore them whenever i wasn't wearing the shoes.. and foot extension exercises whenever I would sit . It was a long process, but eventually it got better I know that pain very well... I'm sending you all the encouragement, and love 💙

[@magos_0083]

Great tips tbh, I got siatica and hip problems, sometimes warming up my feet with a ball helps the connective tissue in my legs.

[@xTnTWoLF]

Dawg I needed this

[@YeetLord666]

I learned junan taiso a decade or so back. The stretching and massaging of the feet is crucial in combat sports. Helps in daily life too

[@MessinaDance]

I have first mtp joint issues. I believe lingering effects from hyperextensions. Feels posaibly nerve related also. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[@gabrielprfn]

I’m so traumatized by squat university…

[@G7AllDay]

I needed this.

[@Squibbins18]

My feet are probably the strongest part of my body pound for pound. Walking and running around without shoes will cause your toes to splay out like that… makes picking things up off the floor way easier.

[@ItsBrrrrente]

Is there a video explaining exactly how to do these exercises?

[@cielostack2698]

Running around barefoot as kid works great…

[@kj7682]

Gotta keep it going as an adult

[@ShunyataShalendra]

As a crippled adult, I began at the age of 29. Simply walking in the wilderness barefeet. I am 33 now. My feet knee and hip functionalities have transformed my experience of life

[@myfirstrodeo208]

Subbed immediately 💪🔥💯

[@taktition_]

The thing I don’t understand is why surgeons and PTs would rather recommend risky surgeries to their clients than proper specific rehab.

[@brooklynmack4503]

This is straight up part of ballet training

[@timexcape7961]

And Doctors give me orthotics, "problem solved".

[@TheFreddy3344]

Also foot stretching is godlike

[@finn3131]

I tried the big toe up and down exercises and I don’t really get it… are you supposed to stretch them pull them idk really get the movement. I would really appreciate some explanation 💪

[@shawncarter5619]

I wear vibram 5 fingers constantly. I have zero foot or toe problems at all. Feet were not designed to be immobilized in overly padded tight shoes all day every day

[@icedriot]

Thank you! This can easily be done at home 🙌

[@rosej5029]

It's borderline medical malpractice for MDs & physical therapists NOT to include foot & ankle strength exercises for patients with chronic knee and hip pain. I have osteoarthritis in left hip. Everytime ive done foot and ankle exercises i immediately feel hip and knee muscles also getting activated and strengthened. But discovered this indirectly. my doctor nor my physical therapist NEVER prescribed foot and ankle exercises to treat my hip pain.

[@islandRT]

my favourite is running barefoot- my toes & feet are jacked

[@nathankulisch9208]

Like two weeks ago had a crazy pain in the bottom middle of my foot every time I took a step. Trying these today fs

[@Deimos_the_Autist]

What socks are these. Think I need some toe socks that are all black tho

[@Cheesychip1234]

Injinji

[@RiseHawkOfficial]

That's great advice for people with flat feet and problems, but do you think someone like my mom who's been crushing her feet basicallt for 30 years could still fix it after that much time?

[@caligula9764]

I've been doing this to help with balance and strength, foot, and ankles. The only thing is i broke my foot years ago and never went to the doctors. Now, my two smallest toes dont touch the ground. Hopefully, these exercises will help me out. I'll let you know bc i know you really care about my health.

[@worldsyours5441]

How it’s feeling bro? 11 days later🤗

[@shahid8545]

Barefooted skipping ususally does the trick for me.

[@chancestonshafer5759]

Need more foot mobility like this!!!!!! Where did you learn this

[@chex4214]

It's genetics like double joints. Most humans will not be able to articulate and have this much control over their toes no matter what training. The fibers and tendons aren't there for most humans.

[@cire06.]

I don't care what anyone says them socks are the comfiest sock I've ever owned 😊❤

[@itami4190]

What socks are they

[@cherylannebarillartist7453]

This will also help avoid knee problems!!

[@September0930]

This guy’s got the longest toes ive ever seen holy crap

[@MP-kc8sl]

I actually never lost my natural foot shape. Thanks, mom for always buying me wide toe box shoes!

[@samuels9489]

Stretching the calf muscles has solved plantar fasciitis pain for me.

[@michaela4869]

It’s so true. We have been constricted in our shoes for so long 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@ryangoliath8378]

In South Africa, we just walk barefoot

[@robertbenedict3911]

I also walk Barefoot all the time outside as well!

[@Ec2Folo]

With the exception of the calf raises - your mobilizing and stretching them.

[@ItsBrrrrente]

Can you explain step 4 and 5 on exactly how to do it??? 0:24

[@bw6078]

When foot pain is present it sure takes a long time and lotsa work to alleviate it.

[@nikitaw1982]

Fast guy at parkrun got told to do calf raises with this toes hanging off the step

[@ew-zd1th]

I wonder does training your hip flexor can make your leg measurements go up? Because i think the hip flexor is under the quad?

[@wearethehaunted3831]

Usually don’t think about this , until you have an issue. Lessons learned.

[@whoisLou295]

I don't exactly have a lacrosse ball lying around. Anything else I can use?

[@danielowen5889]

The only socks to wear.. yes they are 15 a pair,but they last for 2 years, and prevent blisters..

[@エリツクさん]

You know you're doing it right once you can lace your toes together like fingers.

[@Blaze-hq4ox]

Damn i would randomly do stuff like this subconsciously like i didn't know it had any benefits i just did it, glad to know it does

[@cerium58]

Great quads bro!

[@davledav]

Just run different terrain, less complicated and functional. Hike even. To get more robust and more flexible feet, you have to use them for their intended purpose.

[@cortniethompson1972]

Wearing barefoot shoes and strengthening my feet changed my life!

[@kj7682]

I started working out in barefoot shoes while wearing toe spreaders. Changed my whole perspective on working out. I couldn’t do lunges before because of plantar fasciitis and turf toe. It stung for a bit, then the pain subsided. I’m never going back and I own over 60 pairs of sneakers.

[@danielowen5889]

Altra running shoes are amazing

[@DLOReacts]

Strengthen tibs aswell

[@frankcarrillo190]

My toe spacers help the foot pain.

[@polymathpursuits1175]

I use to do stuff like this as a kid all the time. Guess I was working out all along

[@DragovsSly]

That’s the last thing I want is shredded feet and neglecting my abs 😂

[@bharatmatakayoda]

Protect the abs under a layer of fat 😂

[@frankroquemore4946]

Honestly swimming can help with foot strength as weird as that sounds. You have to kick and push off the walls with intensity though.

[@tanikobas6991]

Would you say it is possible to recover weak feet in the mid 30s? I had flatfoots ever since.

[@jedediahsabri6427]

Rainbolt I didnt know u made foot content 😂

[@RichielaurensIII]

I used to do this thing called velociraptor toes (named it myself as a kid who loved dinos) I’d raise my big toe apart from the others

[@Hag591]

I only do that when i'm normally reaching with something high shelf

[@derusmares9508]

You NEED to wear wide toe shoes. If not, these exercises only provide temporary relief. It's better than nothing, but they are pointless if you'll be wearing tight shoes for 8+ hrs

[@the_zenaku9613]

We turning dogs into wolves 🔥🔥🔥

[@matthewbrown9029]

The true first step: gwt new shoes! Purchase minimalist shoes! I am wearing mine now and its been a year. This is the beat passive rehabilitation for your cooped up feet!!

[@bargimh]

To those Who never knows this pain, hope you never feel it, no more motivation for doing sports, no good sleep, always feeling the blood explosion of your feet, & to heal from that is looooooong way of treatment , the only thing that makes you feel better for few hours/day is ice/cold water! 😣

[@spacecandygames7575]

Basketball shoes ruined my feet. I have a bunion on one foot and the other is almost as bad.

[@MultiMarathon]

Whilst surgery is the only way to remove them , you can improve them vastly via other methods

[@TheAustinTalbert]

I do shit like this on the days where I can’t do my normal split, never felt better.

[@lazyymaster0390]

Fucked up thing my gym doesn't allow not wearing a shoe, says it's cause of risk of injury 😂😂

[@elanatassone4346]

Does this help with arthritis or aggravate?

[@Cyber_HXHHub]

Thanks brother

[@tysonlewis3565]

How good does it feel tho when all the little muscle are activated

[@jengreene6275]

Man has hands for feet😮

[@philipbayliss879]

This could actually help my smaller toe are folding under the bigger ones

[@newsnetworkz]

Also ankle mobility is important and try to do ankle mobility exercises

[@Borzakowsky]

Я бы сказал, никогда не пропускайте день большого пальца ноги

[@bejo.gatotkacanew]

Pemula hadir terima kasih videonya sangat bermanfaat

[@Eaon69]

So what can we do to strengthen the ankle and calf? I almost felt a tear on the bottom of my foot and my doc said there are a lot muscles lacking in my ankle area and calf.

[@erikarnold5220]

Never considered thinking about ever doing this for my feet. Lesrn something new all the time

[@aronlavings4993]

No, do not roll under the foot for plantar fasciitis..

[@NoNo-gt2bo]

Thank god I don’t have foot pain and can avoid this weird foot exercising

[@dj000909]

Step 1 already got my foot in knots and cramps 🧍🏻‍♂️

[@C3Ismail]

Does making your feet stronger and wider make it harder to wear shoes after?

[@elderpebler9482]

it depends on the shoe

[@MultiMarathon]

You should be switching to minimalist/barefoot shoes regardless

[@gnatdagnat]

cringe normal shoes yes

[@RaSungodFGC]

Not at all. But most shoes are bad for your feet anyways. Look into getting wider toe box shoes or barefoot shoes. If people call you weird for wearing them, make them take their shoes off and show them mangled dogs they got cramped up in their luxury shoe lol

[@gorgegarcia6609]

Plantar fasciitis sleeves alone fixed my plantar fasciitis. Couldn't pinpoint how I got it in the first place though

[@Im.k.m.aka.kalaashnikov]

Strengthen feet is smart! And legs! We can't get around well if not

[@gissie391]

Pointing whole toe down not foot up is key.

[@MufaroMusara]

What’s the stuff holding his toes together

[@jordanlewis4308]

This seems less like strengthening and more like flexibity? Except maybe the toe flexion

[@denielleadibi7721]

Excellent. Thanking you now.

[@darealist1781]

I broke my big toe about a year ago and now it only bends about 30% what it should

[@ruzgar1372]

I just know I would get feet cramps while doing these

[@sainlxrd5585]

Ok now what type of shoes you wear ? 😂

[@juniorxxnho]

Could these be used for people with flat feet?

[@idrayzie7178]

My feet are pretty strong they've been carrying me my whole life that s*** wasn't easy

[@artosbear]

Ive run barefoot for years (christ not on concrete except for maybe briefly crossing a path) and this all kind of happened naturally. I mean my toes move all over the place grabbing terrain. And can confirm because people look at me weird.

[@Simba88242]

Thank you man
