Video 376 | Foot and Foundations (30 minutes) with Lauren Eirk
Lower Leg and Foot • 09-Nov-2022
This workout starts with several intrinsic foot exercises to strengthen the bottom of the feet. Next, transition into some of the major muscles of the lower leg, working on plantar flexors and dorsiflexors using a chair.
As we take an integrated approach to strengthening the feet, we will be practicing several multi-joint lower body exercises, with variations on the squat, lunge, deadlift, and bridge with dumbbells. Finish with some standing one-leg balance exercises to train the hips and calves using a sponge ball and a chair.
