Exercise Program to Reduce Duck Feet/Toes Out Gait
A client at Energy Fitness inspired this post as her son is an award winning swimmer. His duck footed stance is great for one stroke but terrible for freestyle/front crawl stroke. Do you know someone that walks with turned out feet or do you? Do you squat or do other exercises or climb stairs with turned out feet? Sleep this way?
This post is during Covid lockdown so he’s not able to get in the pool for actual swim workouts. His mom purchased a concept 2 ski erg since she likes the one we have at Energy Fitness. I made this video after writing the program based on what muscles need fascial release, strengthening and stretching. I use to have this problem when I didn’t specifically focus on keeping certain muscles balanced and stretched so it was easy to create this program.
If you are going to implement this program into your routine try twice a week. Also be mindful of how you are standing, sitting and sleeping as you could easily undo the work by having habits that keep those feet turned out.
Usually this is where we tell you what we offer and see if you want to come in for FREE consult, schedule a massage or Nutrition Coaching Services onsite. But, times are different and we’re on lock down with the COVID19 and doing all our training online video and kicking some butts in peoples own spaces. They have been surprised how much we can get their heart rates up, muscles burning and are so appreciative for our help in designing a custom workout program during quarantines.
