I almost let it pass by with out noticing. Sorry about that.
April is Foot Health Awareness Month!
But seriously, the feet are like your wrists. You really need them to do pretty much anything, but you rarely pay specific attention to them.
So, if you are training, check to see:
- Are you using a pair of shoes that isn’t warn out. If they are warn out, just replace them
- If you are doing indoor exercises or resistance training, are you using “cross-training” shoes (vs running shoes). Really, it makes a difference. Especially if you workout and your feet feel poor or if your calves ache, it’s time to buy the right shoes.
- Do you keep your workout shoes clean? Don’t let dirt cause an injure (or cause someone else to have an injury). Save your workout shoes for just the gym
Feet do matter. Take care of them. One final note, do you have plantar fasciitis? Seek treatment. There are good therapies for this that only take weeks — it’s not a big deal or a medical mystery. Don’t let it be your excuse for being out of shape. Just fix it.
