    I'm sure I'm not your usual demographic (I'm 30, male, meathead weight lifter, not a dancer or gymnast at all), but this routine has helped me a lot. I've had a chronic ache on the top of my right foot and ankle, and after doing this workout just a handful of times, the pain is almost completely gone. Thank you so much!

    This tutorial is an absolute miracle! I have been doing it consistently for around a year and a half, and the results are incredible!! I have struggled rather a lot with pointe work as my feet were abnormally un-flexible (my pointed foot was no different to a relaxed foot!), but now I can finally get my feet to a straight line!! Would 100 percent recommend this video to every dancer out there!

    Your feet are like hands 💀 as a fat factory worker I now see why my feet hurt so bad after a shift, aside from the "fat" issue, my feet really can't do much besides stinking and I expect them to nonchalantly carry my 90kg body. Thank you for making this video, I'll focus on your exercises until my feet are a bit more like yours before jumping back into dancing.

They mentioned early in the book how important it is to have good plantar flexibiity showing picture of some of the best swimmers in the worlds. One of these guys could stand up from sitting position up to his toes💪. I realise that i was very week and that is probably one of the reason my kick under water is very slow☹️. The book dont really reveal so many good excersizes in the book flexibily so I am glad I found your channel. I just did those drills and It feels grate. You are the best and your voice is so calm and relaxed, i like the music it is easy to understand and I like you showing the time so it become easier to complete all drills. All the best to you ❤

      @AvaGodislove1287 7 місяців тому +1

      It depends! If your toes are curling instead of pointing, you should do some exercises to change the way your feet point! One that’s really effect is, sitting down, put ur legs straight on the floor and sit up straight, then reach to your toes, put your foot in releve (pull ur foot forward but don’t point your toes), and then put your hand under your toes, then push your toes into your hand, and keep repeatedly do it! It make take a few days maybe even weeks, but after you do that you won’t curl your toes anymore. Hope this helped!

Now I can do lunges it’s just on one side I can’t get my knee to touch the floor. I did a few lunges after this video and was able to get lower. Also quick disclaimer when I say lunges I’m referring to front and reverse lunges where you bend both knees and not the lunges where your back leg is straight.

      ​​@@HannahMartinRG No way you have flat feet!! 😮😮😮 But if you do, that's a testament to this work and your discipline!!
      My feet are genuinely flat and pronated, but in the year and a half or so that I was doing beginner ballet videos, I was able to build them up into something that almost resembled an arch. 😅
      I've been inspired for the longest time by somebody I went to high school with (this dates me), who danced with Baryshnikov at the ABT (no joke). He told me that he had flat feet, too, when he started ballet, but every day, he used to do an hour or two (!!!) of single- and double-foot demi-pointes at the kitchen sink, and he gradually built up his arches. When I met him, he had the most deliciously curvy feet... 😋 So I know it's possible. 😊
