The anatomy of your feet is pretty amazing. They look almost more like hands than feet at times because of the way you're moving them. Pretty fascinating.

Lots of comments about how beautiful her feet are - and they weren't kidding! Perfect toes, slender high arches and those legs look like they could kick a guy through a wall! I thought ballet made girl's feet look awful? These look toned to perfection!

I used to dance and have several friends who do dance, and it depends on how well you take care of your feet. If you dance a lot en pointe or are just beginning your feet will blister but if you wear a specific jelly like half sock it cover your main bones in your pinky toe and big toe preventing blisters or bruises. Hope this helped and also if you wear regular ballet shoes you should not have any blisters.

Your feet and legs are the result of out of this world effort ,genetics and the spark of divine light! These exercises when modified to my needs helped me through some of the worst times. I have been regularly doing over 20,000 steps a day. I started watching because of intense desire, I keep watching because you motivate and inspire! Please keep being fantastic!

I’ve recently had bilateral foot surgery and now have extremely hypermobile feet (except for the bilateral first metatarsal fusions). Your feet are more hypermobile than mine were before I was injured and your feet are so strong! You’ve given me confidence maybe I can build my strength back up, thank you 🙏🏻

I love this work! I've been learning and practicing ballet for the last five months, so I'm barely a beginner. I'm 25, not exactly young haha. Hope I'm gonna move my feet like that any time soon!

So glad to find a second foot stretch video of yours! It seems like no matter how much I work on stretching them out, they still get super cramped when I scrunch my toes in (kind of like you're trying to make a fist with the foot)...I just counter-stretch them to combat it, and keep repeating, but it's frustrating how much rehab they seem to need. Your foot flexibility is insane...a great inspiration! Thank you

I love the video. No music or sounds just actions, so peaceful. Absolutely lovely.

I stumbled upon this after having foot surgery where I had a nerve removed, trying to get flexibility back into my toes with scar tissue between the metatarsals so I can get back to exercising. I had some similar exercises from my physical therapist, but will add some of these! Thank you! Side note: Holy foot fetish creepers! Go away!

@somefuckstolemynick

I would say yes, lots of people have stiff and weak feet from using only modern shoes (look up the barefoot running movement if you haven't already) which immobilized and supports the foot way too much. These exercises might actually be a really good way of training your feet to cope with the strain transitioning from a modern heal strike to (what in my opinion is better) a forefoot strike. I would be a bit careful with the stretching though, people dancing ballet have quite impressive and extreme flexibility in their feet, and that much really is not necessary for running, it might actually be detrimental. But you won't get that flexibility over night of course, it probably requires months or even years of intensive stretching, but it might be a good idea to just keep it in mind. And also, try just walking around barefoot as much as you can, it's really good for your feet! :)

@trumpetmama82

I agree with the barefoot running movement BUT, unless the runner has very good Achilles flexibility, it can lead to forefoot stress fractures.

@somefuckstolemynick

8 жыл бұрын

Louise Furukawa Yes, a person starting with barefoot running really needs to start carefully to let the body adapt and build up sufficient strength in all the relevant muscles and tendons. It's really really easy to get hurt if one switches to a minimalistic running style without drastically reducing their normal running distance, and increasing it gradually.

@somefuckstolemynick

Faizan Ali Dude, what are you on about? First of all you don't know even know if that person is overweight. A lot of people have problems with their feet hurting when walking/running just because they live a non-active lifestyle. And sure, while these people may have weight problems as well, it's definitely no certainty. Take me for instance, I'm 173, and used to weigh around 67 kg (about 2-3 years ago). I used to have massive problems with my feet, couldn't take a walk in town for more than an hour before my feet hurt like crazy. Now I weigh about 10 kgs more (a bit more muscle, but unfortunately mostly fat, due to a major shift in life style) and still my problems have pretty much disappeared in only the last six months, thanks to systematically training my feet and switching to a forefoot strike when running.

This has helped with so much with improving my arch for Irish dance

Lisa, amazing arch!!! : )It really worked and my arch improved a lot!!

Lol Who else is doing this even though they don't danc e

So, not just exercises for those who are into ballet dancing. :) I fell in love with this video. Of course, it was partly because of your feet and legs, but the exercises are so natural and great.
