Get to the Point! Fast Fixes for Fabulous Feet

First, Dear Danglers, I cannot tell you how many foot fetish websites came up while I was researching more exercises for this blog post. Also hilarious? That “how to get my boyfriend to suck my toes” repeatedly came up as a google search option. Apparently, we collectively think a lot about feet and the many, many naughty things we can do with them. But what do I want you to do with yours? POINT THEM, Dear Dangler! Here is my humble contribution to foot fetish communities around the globe. You are welcome. 😉

Point #1 – Send that Sickle Packing

“Sickling” refers to allowing the big toe to curve inward when you point your foot. True confession? I have a tendency to work with a slight sickle, and oh my – it is not pretty. Let’s fix that – pronto!

Point #2 – Yoga Point? Also No.

A few years ago, I noticed that my yogi students had a tendency to forget that they had digits when they pointed their feet, resulting in a demi-point with splayed toes. A full point extends the toes, but does not curl them. Do you do this?

Point #3 – Banish “Banana Feet”

OK – I’m about to bring the tough love here. I do not care *why* you might have banana point (gymnastics, no ballet, the fact that you are in fact a banana, etc). Regardless of why you are not achieving a flat point, it breaks the line of the leg – let’s fix it!

Stay Tuned…

As you can see, after several severely sprained ankles, my point isn’t what it was in my dance days, so I’ll be working on a better point too! Stay tuned for more info on how to make a pretty good point into a glorious one! Now, here’e one just for the fetishists. Love and pull-ups, Laura

Yeah, baby.

As always, if you like this post, share it on your blog, the F-books, Twitter, and wherever else you crazy kids are sharing things these days.

    Awesome! i’ve been doing these stretches but did not think to use a theraband. Thanks for this!

    PS: I cleaned my first kickass pull up on Tuesday and 3 pull ups on the iron bar with palms facing each other! My shoulder’s a bit pinchy now but it’s recovering and the pain was well worth it.

    Thank you for your guidance, Laura!
