12. Walk barefoot. Each foot has 26 bones, 33 joints, and 34 muscles. Thick soled shoes are making your feet weak.

Deep Squat. Use a slant board and/or pole if you can’t squat to the floor on flat ground. Deep squats help heal your hips, feet, and lower back.

9. Star balance. Reach the opposite foot as far as you can in each direction. Increase the speed to increase the challenge. Foot stability starts with better balance.

8. Full speed sprint. Our bodies were designed to run on uneven ground. For technique have high knees, chest and eyes forward. I believe everyone should make running a part of their fitness routine.

6. Calf stretch with toes extended. With any stretch, the body moves through the most unstable structure. Standard calf stretching cause a weak foot to become even more flimsy. Extend your toes against a wall to lock the foot and target the calf muscle.

5. Tib raises. Strengthening the muscles on front of your shin reduces calf stress. Increase the challenge by moving your feet further away from the wall.

4. Gas peddle with rotation. Try this to help get your foot in the right position while walking. Press the inside of your foot to the floor so you can start taking pain-free steps.

3. Ankle mobility. Ankle range of motion reduces foot stress. Try this stretch in 3 slightly different directions. Don’t let the arch of your foot collapse as you push your knee forward.

2. Full range of motion calf raise. If one foot is too hard, start with two. If constant stretching isn’t working, try building length + strength.

1. Arch lifts. Tighten the muscles in your foot. Then relax. Do this as a warm-up before you run or walk. Lift your arch by pressing down (and avoid curling your toes).
