Mark's Experience (Age 60)
before 7 exercises to do everyday for foot and ankle
I remember when I could spring out of bed, and it didn’t feel stiff or uncomfortable getting into my day. Now it’s gotten to the point where I believe if I don’t find my way back to that I’m going to regret it.
That’s why I made a commitment to do these 7 exercises every day for x weeks
After 7 exercises to do everyday for foot and ankle
In one week, I have rediscovered a feeling that I had forgotten simply because it slipped away so gradually. As I’ve begun to restore the pliability of my feet, and the mobility of my toes, I am suddenly aware of all 5 toes, and especially the power of the big toe.
I quickly realize that I’ve been missing the power of my big toe for years. I’m now feeling the power and the load distributed across all 5 of my toes and the ball of my foot instead of just on the outside edge.
It’s really exciting to feel this, and to experience positive proof that the only thing wrong with my feet and legs was that I had stopped using them. And more importantly, that using them, again almost immediately began restoring my lost practical function.
This win for my feet, is the beginning of a rebirth for every part of my body and the party I’m having reintroducing all the parts to one another!
Thank you Katrina for these amazing 7 exercises to do every day for foot and ankle health and giving me the power to ensure the quality of my life as I get older.
Julie's Experience (Age 43)
before 7 exercises to do everyday for foot and ankle
I had been waking me up in the middle of the night multiple times a week with heel pain. And I was beginning to get cranky and impatient from lack of sleep. I was desperate for solution to help with the heel pain so I could get the sleep I desperately needed as a single parent.
Thankfully, a friend told me about 7 exercises to do everyday for foot and ankle health. I was so excited to have a possible solution and committed to doing these 7 exercises every day for at least 2 weeks.

During the first week, I only woke up one time with heel pain, and during the second week, I didn’t wake up at all!
I love these 7 exercises for foot and ankle health! I do them every day, I sleep through the night with no more heel pain. I don't know who's more grateful to Katrina, me or my son!
Thank you Katrina and Fitstreams.club
