Start Fixin Yo’ Self - #MoveU #FixYoShit #ComeBackStronger
Get naked! Calm down, I’m only talking about your feet. Ditch those shoes and socks so you can actually FEEL with your feet. Tag someone who needs to get commando (with their feet)!
We created a pretty sweet visual for you so that you can better understand what we are talking about! Pay attention to where the weight is at in your foot. Do you rock forward onto the toes, where you heels want to lift up? Do you rock back on your heels where your toes want to lift up?
Another great way to analyze this is to set your phone up down on foot level. Record your feet from the side while you do some squats or while you stand for a while (washing dishes, cooking, etc). You can then click edit on the video and slide through it quickly which will allow you to see where you are shifting your weight. Use this as a tool to let you know what to focus on. Ideally, you want the weight spread evenly.
When you are drawing the ball of the foot back to work on the arch be sure that you are keeping weight in the ball of the foot and that you aren’t gripping with the toes like talons. The toes are not what is creating this pullback. You are isolating the muscles in the arch of your foot to shorten it, not digging in or scrunching with the toes. Get to work! There’s a lot of mind-body connection to this so it may take some time to click. Don’t expect yourself to master it immediately. This stuff takes weeks of practice!
