Focus on the Feet
Most clients could benefit from foot-strengthening exercises, but they’ll usually tire of the same “scrunch the towel” routine after a few weeks. For new move suggestions, plus a treasure trove of toe-appropriate props, consider purchasing the
Centerworks Pilates Foot Fitness Kit. For $20, you’ll receive a foot-focused exercise manual, a heavy-resistance exercise band, a massage ball and marbles and sticks that you can grasp and pick up with your toes. These simple maneuvers are easy enough for most clients to do on their own at home or before a session.
For a larger collection of exercises, the book Fantastic Feet! Exercises to Strengthen Your Ankles Arches & Toes by Centerworks Pilates founder Aliesa George is also available. This 92-page guide details moves that will benefit the full lower leg, including standing and seated exercises. The book retails for $20, but you can buy the book and kit together for $30.
