BRAIN TEASER BALANCE CHALLENGE 🧠

Every touch in this video happens on the opposite side of the body and standing on one leg.

That’s why the kick is the hard part. Your standing foot has to land, grip the ground and settle within a split second, then hand over to the other side before the sack comes down. In levels 3 and 4, the standing foot has even less time to organise itself, because the kicking foot is closer to the ground and the sack is too.

Most of us train balance standing still. This trains it on the move, side to side, reacting to something you can’t fully predict. Plus, it’s fun, which is usually why people keep doing it.

Grab a hacky (rolled-up socks work). What level did you get to, and which foot gave out first? 👇

Comment ‘TOE’ to watch the full breakdown on our YouTube

Your big toe does more than you think 👣

Limited big toe extension affects how your feet hit the ground, how you walk, run, and squat and can cause subtle compensations all the way up your body, from ankles to hips.

A deep squat is a natural human position that a lot of adults used to do as kids but stopped and lost the ability to do it.

Hopefully this was helpful 💪🏾👣

Around 80% of runners get injured every year. That’s a pretty confronting number for something that’s one of the most natural movements a human body can express.

We asked running coach Mitch from @runwildblue to show us what natural running technique actually looks like!

Natural foot function and running go hand in hand, and when you understand that connection, it changes how you approach training entirely.

If you want to add more of a challenge to your balance training I highly recommend this, maybe use a lighter rope if your new to rope flow 😅

Balance work doesn’t have to live separately from strength work.

And the goal isn’t to create as much wobbling as possible—it’s to maintain control while producing force.

For this circuit, I’m using an 80/20 split stance to keep the front leg loaded while the SoleMate asks my foot, ankle, hip and the rest of my system to continually organize beneath me.

Two kettlebells. Three movements:

1. Split squat
2. Split-stance deadlift
3. Kickback pulses

Complete all three movements on one side before switching.

5 rounds:
6 reps each side
5 reps each side
4 reps each side
3 reps each side
2 reps each side

Simple. Loaded. Sneakily spicy. And balance is being trained the entire time. 🔥

Sometimes I forget that what feels like me simply playing, learning, sharing and following my own curiosity might look completely different from the other side.

Every so often, someone reminds me that something I shared, taught, encouraged, or even just showed up doing helped them try something new, believe they could do something, or pay a little more attention to how they move.

And it always catches me off guard. 🥹

Because meanwhile, I’m over here in my little corner of the world sometimes wondering what I’m doing, whether I’m reaching anyone, or where any of this is even going.

Then I get one of those reminders.

You really don’t know who you’re inspiring by simply being yourself, doing what you love, and sharing it along the way.

And if that ripple leads someone toward healthier feet, more capable movement, and a better relationship with their body?

That feels pretty meaningful. 💚
