Half-Step Foot Balance

Added: 2026-05-17

[00:00:00]I don't really know what to call these.

[00:00:01]I'm going to call it like a half half step foot balance because we're going to stand on the edge of a step and I'm going to put my second toe and you like center point of my heel on the edge of this elevated surface.

[00:00:19]And then I'm just going to stand here.

[00:00:22]This stick is helping me a little bit with balance. I'm not clutching onto it for dear life, but I'm just holding it so that this foot that's on the step can do a lot of work. Then I'm just going to try to hold this position for about like 30 to 40 seconds and you should feel your foot working pretty hard. Shouldn't be cramping, but it should definitely be working.

[00:00:42]And then we would do the other side.

[00:00:44]Rather than face away from you, I'm going to use the other foot. So again, second toe on the edge of the step, center point of the heel, and then I'm just going to stand here and hold this position for like 30 to 40 seconds.

[00:00:57]In this half step foot balance, you will feel your foot working. You'll have to put in a lot of effort to keep you stable and it will help make the foot stronger in a way that can be really helpful.
