Your legs are strong, but are your feet?
Your feet are not just passive things that connect you to the ground. They contain 29 muscles that help you interact with the environment, be it running, standing still, or dancing.
Improving conscious control of these muscles can provide tremendous benefits, including better balance, less pain in your feet, knees, and ankles, and overall improved athletic performance. Exercises such as toe yoga, short foot, and a number of others can help strengthen and improve control of the muscles of the foot.
