My Favorite Foot Warm-Up for Better Runs, Walks and Workouts

Besides ensuring you have proper shoes and support, warming up the 33 joints and 29 muscles in each of your feet is a must. This is especially true before a run or if you are starting to hear the whispers of plantar fasciitis, shin splints or tendonitis (or if you just want to avoid those issues!). Lots of issues up the body’s chain (knees, hips, back) can be traced back to the feet. So spend just a few minutes (literally less than two) doing some basic and effective foot warm ups. In this quick clip from a longer video with Guy Delia, PT, DPT, COMT of Renew Physical Therapy. Guy walks me through what have become my daily quick and easu go-to drills for keeping my feet, joints and all my tissues happy while training for the SF 10k this July. BTW, a few of my clients and friends will be running with me and if you’d like a crew to be part of, give me a shout!
