It is the final day!!! You made it! I hope you learned a whole lot, opened up your body and are feeling great!
As we made our way down the body, we end with the ankles, feet and toes. Often times, what is restricting low squats or decreasing power in the lower body is the ability bend adequately at the ankles and big toe. The big toe is often noted to drive power through the body in running and jumping (besides the booty).
Full ankle range of motion is measured when the knee is able to surpass the toes by 4-5 inches while maintaining neutral hips. This is harder than it seems! Overtime, as we sit more throughout the day, we lose the ability to fully bend through all of our joints. Bending, squatting, and having control of those end-ranges are imperative to maintaining a healthy body and preventing pain.
Stick around for one last time to appreciate our bodies through a quick and connected meditation. I am beyond proud of you for sticking it out until the end and opening the possibilities to what your body can experience!
