For many exercises and running you need to have good big toe mobility because stiffness will limit the amount of extension the toe can achieve. If mobility is limited it can really affect the range of motion you can reach in certain exercises as well as influence your stride during running/walking.
We go through many big toe and ankle mobility exercises as they work in conjunction with each other. First step you want to take is to prep the foot by loosening up some of the tightness at the base of the foot using your hand or a lacrosse ball. Once the foot is prepped we show you a series of mobility exercises that you should be incorporating if you have limited mobility in the toe.
So when you get the chance, get those bare feet out and work on these exercises because you would be surprised how much the toe and ankle influence everyday movements.
