“Ew, why are you working out barefoot?”⁣
__⁣
Because shoes can sometimes be more harmful than beneficial.⁣
⁣
We believe shoes are a necessity in protecting our feet from harm, but also believe that we have completely desensitized our feet by relying on them far too much and wearing them way too often.⁣
⁣
This can lead to problems at the source and upstream.⁣
⁣
Want to join the #barefootgang but don’t know where to start?⁣
⁣
Start with these low hanging fruits:⁣
⁣
💪 Training: Start kicking off your shoes and socks during your lower intense, lower volume stationary work. Bodyweight gymnastics, light loaded movement, even runs or sprints on soft grass are starting points.

👌 Save all the dynamic/explosive work and pounding for when you build up A LOT more tolerance. Think about this the same way you would in building strength in your deadlift. It takes time and reps.⁣
⁣
🚶🏻‍♂️ Everyday life: Go barefoot around the house more and on simple tasks around and outside the house. Anytime there is a relatively safe opportunity to go barefoot, do it! Walks on paved concrete are great places to start.⁣
⁣
You’ll often catch a lot of us around the gym with no shoes on, building strong feet and representing #barefootnation 😁💪⁣
⁣
You too!? Toss us an emoji below and let us know!⁣
