Single Leg Movements and Feet

Being able to feel movement through your feet is a super power.

Your feet provide sensory input and stability up through the whole body.

When doing any movement in the gym you can benefit from paying close attention to what they’re doing.

Are they wobbling around? Collapsing inward? Is all your weight shifting to your heel? Or too far forward towards the toes? Are they turning out?

The mid foot is the sweet spot. It’ll allow you to find balance and stability.

If you have a hard time finding that sweet spot, especially on things like split squats, SLDLs, lunges and similar movements, you may want to ditch the shoes. You’ll feel better connected, have better awareness, and a better opportunity to let all those little feet muscles shine.
