Following over 17 years in the fitness industry, training thousands of clients in person and working with both everyday people and high-level athlete’s; one thing for certain is many aspects of physical pain come from a misaligned walking gait. Meaning: most people DO NOT know how to use their big toe to create less tension when we walk, run or perform harder exercises. Here I am using plantar flexion (heel raised) and holding it for a few seconds before I stand up in knee flexion. Try 4 to 6 reps on each foot for 2-3 sets. If you need a wall, squat rack, PVS stick for assistance, use it!
