The Barefoot Shoes Transition Plan
A detailed plan to help you safely transition from traditional shoes to barefoot shoes for both running and everyday use.
Includes:
24-Week Barefoot Running plan with automatic calculations
14 Video Tutorials
OUR TRANSITION PLAN INCLUDES:
Problematic Walking Patterns and Methods to Fix Them
Walking 10 000 steps a day is only beneficial when each step is taken with adequate movement proficiency and won't lead to injuries down the road.
How to Fix Mobility Restrictions in the Ankles and Hips
In order to move efficiently with the lower body, there must be sufficient range of motion at the ankle and hip joints.
Activating and Strengthening the Gluteal Muscles
Improving movement about the hips, through proper use of the glutes - the "powerhouse" muscles of the body - will optimise exercise performance and reduce injury risk.
Foot Strengthening Exercises
The feet form the foundation of most human movements. It then follows that, just as we should focus on developing the hip and glute musculature, we should also spend time focusing on building the structures in the feet.
Techniques and Drills on How to Run with Good Posture and a Forefoot Strike
Learning how to correctly forefoot strike helps to strengthen both the Achilles tendons and the foot arch muscles, thereby improving running efficiency.
24 Week Barefoot Shoes Running Plan
Provides a structure for those not already following a running program, but can also be easily integrated into existing running programs, for those who are.
