Your feet, knees, and hips will be healthier and happier when your feet are aligned well. I’ve done numerous posts on this, each with a slightly different twist since it’s helpful to routinely change up your workouts. This time, I have you engage the muscles of your feet from your toes back to your heels in three steps to better foot alignment.
After warming up through the forefoot and toes, you’ll work to achieve:
- Even weight bearing under the ball of the foot.
- A midline position for your foot – not rolled in or out through the arch.
- Weight bearing through the center of the heel. (Some prefer to think of this as equal weight on the inside and outside of the heel. Either concept works.)
Follow along with this four-minute video:
These three steps to better foot alignment work best for a flexible foot. If you have a rigid or fixed arch – whether it’s a high arch or a flattened arch – it can be more challenging to correct your alignment.

Stay fit!
