You are absolutely correct. We were not born with shoes. We need strong feet and ankles to support our bodies.

Incredible commitment, consistency and perseverance

I have been exercising barefooted since the first time I started my fitness journey, and I have to say I cannot imagine if I wear any sneakers to workout, I never feel comfortable working out with shoes on. Barefoot training gives me the freedom I needed to move with more functionality and stability!

The importance of foot health and strength is so often overlooked. Thank you very much for this video!

I have severely flat feet and began the barefoot lifestyle a few years ago to address that. My woman has perfect arches but had an ankle injury and walks nine miles a day at work. These excercises will help us a lot, my thanks!

I started working out exactly 6 months ago. After 6 weeks, I felt better, and it became a routine. I did only one, 20 mins workout, but now I do workout 3 times a day. There are many benefits of working out daily. I'm 42. 🙂

A while ago I got one of those small indoor trampolines for the kids. I started bouncing on it barefoot while watching tv. My ankles and feet recover so much quicker from playing soccer several days a week.

I'm an athlete, and I have to be honest. I've completely disregarded foot exercises unintentionally. Thank you, Zuska, for opening my eyes and making me realize how much better I could be achieving my fitness goals. You just gained another follower. Muito obrigado! 1️⃣❤️

I learned all of these in physical therapy... I've had chronic Plantar fasciitis since I was a teen. The pain, the incorrect movements messed up my knees and lower back.

Me too

I'm really glad you put some attention to this important parts of our bodies (and almost all Fitness youtubers seem to ignore it). I hope you make many more Videos with exercises for the feet, as you said they are literary the foundation of our Bodies and our fitness.

I did indeed enjoy this video. And I learned a lot. Ive been saying for years that our feet hold up our entire body weight for our entire life. And all the weight we carry. But I've never seen/heard anyone talk about in such detail, and offer such good instruction, as you did in this video. Many thanks for all your videos. And blessings upon you.

Awesome info, Zuska! Your dedication to wellness is evident. Great info here. As a posture therapist I’m constantly talking about this with clients.

I like to skateboard barefooted, so I find these tips on having stronger feet useful. I love that you call toes fingers.

I really think I needed a close-up to see the details in the exercises.

Best I've seen for foot mobility improvement!

back !!!!! It's always a pleasure to meet you zuzka. in truth, we miss you

Awesome topic and video. I started wearing Vibram 5 fingers toe shoes 4 years ago. I My calves hurt for the first 6 months but I have noticed a huge difference in my lower leg strength and my stability over that period. I’ve never done specific exercises but I’ll have to give these a try. I’m 60 and I think my feet are stronger and better conditioned than they have been in my entire life.

Zuzka you are amazing lady ! Thanks so much 💜😊

Always glad to see a new video. Looking Amazing as always. 😊

Have just joined. This is awesome. Thank You for this incredible content

I love you, Zuzka ❤

Děkuji za skvělé rady a cvičení, Zuzi! ❤🙂 Hezké dny a těším se na další videa!

I'm a Brooklyn NY guy. First time I'm here watching your channel. Oh my gosh, Zuzka, It never occurred to me about working out barefoot. I ran the test you illustrated on my feet . As we say in Brooklyn, fudd-gedda-bout-it! Damn do I need to strengthened my feet under your guidance. Thank you so much sweetheart for your sage advice.

Congrats on 1.01m subs ❤

Minus use of common but incorrect double suffix, the mouth-breather term "functionality" is an idiot's version of *function,* which already covers the exact purpose of infusing "ality" to the word "function."

Great video for dancers!

Thank you so much for great information.

The first time I tried slack-lining I couldn’t keep my feet from shaking because I had never really used those foot muscles much. Great video on an important topic.

Thank you for your wonderful and inspiring efforts, much appreciated 🙏✨❤️

Been on KZread since day one ,you are among the best if not the best exercise trainer on KZread

Very interesting. I never thought about this!

Thank you SOOO MUUCHH!! I have needed this exact video for years. I love yoga and jumping and lunges,, but haven't been able to because the pain in my toes/footbed. Thank you!

such an inspiration , watching from South Africa...thank you

Zuzka , you’re the best, I love you loads❤

I've just been focusing on feet! Good timing! I've got some extra exercise to share...

Thank you, you know your stuff❤

Thank you for this topic, it is very helpful for me. As a child I cut one of my feet badly and severed a tendon, so I can't move one of my big toes side to side, which has affected my balance and ability to do plyometric exercises. I've always felt like strengthening my feet would help overall, although I doubt I'll ever be able to do full unassisted balancing on the one side. I'll definitely be doing these exercises to see how much I can improve.

Essential video !

Thank you for this content! I let my strength go during the pandemic and working from home. This has led to strange pains. I really appreciate your sharing this!

Yes, Yamuna Zake says feet are the most important part of your body. 👌🙏👏👏

Excellent summary!

Thank you beautiful lady, very informative and beneficial video. I hope you have a good Easter.

Thanks. Have a good day! ! !

So amazing video Thank you

I love your video, Zuzka. ❤❤❤

Your exercises are beautiful; you have tone, balance, strength, control, flexibilty. I have flat feet and as I age and due to knee injuries I have had PT. Your routines are extensions and complements of what I learned there. I realize I have been taking my feet for granted for decades.

Thank you for the advice!

I do all your workouts bare foot... I've always had weak feet and poor stability, and doing intense workouts at home on the exercise mat really helped me train my feet. I used to chronically twist and sprain my ankles, I can't remember the last time that happened.

Love your exercises. Squatting and testing in the squat had helped ease back pain. Now I want to work and strengthen from toes up!❤❤❤❤❤

Thanks!

Nice to meet you again 🎉

Very helpful for me, thanks.

Thank you, very good 🤩

Wow, this is a great video

I have started walking barefoot as much as I can the last few weeks. It is helping to in general give me better body awareness and balance, and I am hoping over time it will sort out my lower back and hip problems and imbalances. Big heel drop shoes make your brain think you are falling all the time and the cushioning desensitises you to the ground. So your emphasis on the feet here is very important and useful. I cannot splay my toes yet or move big toe independent of others so I will start by working on that.

Magical, terrific, strong feet mobility Zuzka Hi fives Sasu and Zuzka excellence

Thank you

Yes, but I really appreciate the info she is putting down👍🏿because my feet and ankles are tore up from thirty+ years of soccer

dakujem, Thank you for sharing your thoughts. The importance of feet is a significant topic that many people do not understand. I have personally experienced collapsed arches from wearing hard boots and wrong shoes during heavy weight training, which threw out my hip and L & C spine alignments. This generally leads to back, neck, hip, and knee pains, and can even lead to knee or hip replacements. However, I have learned that foot strengthening is crucial for my well-being. I now wear minimalist shoes or go barefoot whenever possible. I have come to realize that any shoe with an inflexible narrow front, hard ankle support, hard lacing, high heels or high arches or cushy stupidly thick soles is the wrong type of shoe, and some manufacturers even go claim that their "fancy" soles will help you. Think of it like having a broken arm or leg in a cast. After the cast is removed, the limb is left with degraded and unused muscles that must be strengthened to regain use. Similarly, your foot is in a "cast" when you wear the wrong shoes, which will weaken or underuse your foot muscles. Therefore, I have started using shoes like FiveFingers or a barefoot shoes to help strengthen my feet. Zuzka, are doing an excellent job with your channel, and show people how to be healthy and look fantastic when one look after themselves and eat healthy. thank you my country neighbor :)

I love your videos! 😍🥰

Very interesting 👣 Thanks, I’ll try it next days 😊

Thank you Didi (Sister)

Love it! 🥰♥️

Wow, I never thought of this before, but I will have to start, as I'm older but love pushing myself on my bike, and this could help with my power and comfort, especially on those short high output, and long rides. But I never wear shoes when working out at home, so at least I was doing that right.. : )

Absolutely correct 👏👏👏

Awesome

Me ha encantado. Ha sido muy completo y hay poca gente que le da importancia a la salud de los pies, a su musculación y movilidad. Gracias por el vídeo, un saludo.

Thank you thank you thank you. Very helpful exercises. I wish converse’ chuck Taylor shoes had a wider toebox

Geiles Video, danke Dir!!! 💜💜💜

Yup. I’ve tried to explain the difference between flat feet vs high arch as far as athletes go. A person with a high arch can generally have more flexibility and can maneuver better. Like a cat. Think MJ. Where as a person with flat feet can stand their ground and be planted into the ground. Think an offensive lineman in football.

Keep going ❤

Hi Zuzka, In my 50+ years of yoga and my designed "Proteios Process: BodyMusic classes I suggest Simhasana, the Vajrasana variations and the seated mediation asanas which will work the bottom of feet, toes, ankles, Achilles, calves, knees, hips, sacrum, low back and the "guy wires" of ligaments, tendons, muscles within and extending from the pelvis up to the mid-back and down to the knees, in Proteios extensive ROM. Let's talk and collaborate on master classes.

Fantastic workout! Really useful stuff! Loved it! Keep up the great work! ❤️😀

How can we strengthen the big toe enough to lift it solo without other toes?

Not really sure what she said…but I like it!!

Can you recommend a particular brand of toe spacers please?

I've spent 2/3th of me life on minimal shoes only to get told by my doctor that I had to buy shoes with soles and more support for the feet. After I got shoes with soles I actually never had problems with me feet again while I did before that. This is a topic that is different for everyone
