There are several muscle sets that, when acting together, cause the arch to properly lift.
The set of muscles in this movement, particularly, are the muscles located on the underside of the foot.
Here are some simple steps to follow:
1. Lift and spread your toes and stretch your foot out.
2. Now, push the base of your big toe (the pad under the big toe) down into the ground, and draw the base closer to the heel as you simultaneously draw the heel closer to the base.
Why do this? Besides increasing foot strength and overall foot health, it can also help prevent implications from flat weak a$$ feet (like plantar fasciitis and all that other painful foot sh*t)‼️
You may have no movement in this exercise at first. Like, at all. And that’s OK! Your toes may want to curl. That’s ok too, but try to avoid that as you progress. When that ‘AH-HA’ moment happens, and you DO connect with this movement, you’re going to visually and physically feel your arch getting some gainz 🙌
This is an everyday kind of exercise to help you develop enough endurance in the foot so it can support your weight throughout the movements of your life. FOR LIFE! 👊
