This is one of my most utilized cues. In any given exercise, our feet may be the only structure in contact with the ground. If they are not stable, the entire kinetic chain will leak power. By Pushing the big toe down, your client will create a strong arch in their foot. This will instantly improve; valgus knee, glute engagement, hinging, core engagement, balance and increase tension throughout the body. Distal cueing improves proximal stability. If your client isn’t feeling an exercise where they should, start from the ground up, try this cue and utilize it in your own training too.
