When to Train barefoot

If you want strong and resilient feet, one of the best ways to strengthen them is to spend time barefoot.

Without shoes on, your balance will be different, you’ll feel more connected to the ground. The muscles and tendons and ligaments in your feet will get a chance to strengthen.

When should you ditch the shoes? Whenever you can! Warm ups and while cooling down are a good place to start. Any exercise that your feet are planted on the floor is fair game.

Barefoot jump rope, bad idea.

Barefoot deadlifts, good idea.

Squats and single leg work are a good opportunity too.

If you want strong and health feet this summer you better get to work now!
