Toes with the Foot Corrector
The Pilates Foot Corrector doesn’t look very appealing. It doesn’t take up a lot of space. It only has a few exercises that Joseph Pilates gave us. And yet, it is one of the most powerful accessories that Joseph Pilates gave us. Use the Foot Corrector to strengthen and train the feet, connect your feet to your entire body and more importantly, connect your mind and body.
It’s ok if the paddle doesn’t move! Work what you can.
Place the Foot Corrector on a pad so that it doesn’t slide around. Stand facing the Foot Corrector and place the ball of one foot on the paddle. Heel on the base of the Foot Corrector. The other leg is one of your gait distances away or closer. Standing leg can be slightly turned out for balance. Arms long by side, on hips or holding a pole for balance.
Standing tall, without leaning forward, work the ball of your foot into the paddle to press it down. Then lift the paddle up with your foot. Notice if the paddle is working evenly or if you’re pressing with one side more than the other. Repeat 5x then continue with Heels or Pumping before switching sides.
