Solely Barefoot represents a barefoot fitness program that benefit runners who want to MAXIMIZE running performance and REDUCE injury by training barefoot.
The 5 KNOWN components of fitness are cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, and body composition. Solely Barefoot is an innovative fitness program that revolves around these components but in a new and modern twist but what makes the program very unique is that it focuses on training the whole body while barefoot.
The 5 components of Solely Barefoot that make it a complete barefoot fitness program are Barefoot Running, Barefoot Strength Training, Barefoot Flexibility, Lifestyle Specific Nutrition, and Accountability. The components of the Solely Barefoot training program will provide individuals with every component of fitness but in a more unique, realistic, and modern way even though it utilizes a concept that dates back to the creation of man.
All components of Solely Barefoot are incorporated in each workout making it “The Complete Barefoot Fitness Program”. Even though this program can benefit anyone, individuals that seek the most benefit from this program are veteran runners, beginner runners, or those who run for leisure or general exercise for the sole purpose that barefoot running teaches individuals how to run CORRECTLY and potentially reverse any existing impact related injuries.
The reason, purpose, and benefit of training barefoot is to MAXIMIZE results and MINIMIZE injury. When we wear shoes, it instantly alters our biomechanics whether we know it or not. Over time this repetitive habit of wearing shoes that alter our foot positioning can cause numerous injuries down the road including lower back pain, muscle compensations that cause tightness and weakness, and instability of the ankle, knee, and hip joint that lead to stress fractures or tearing of ligaments.
Exercising while barefoot reaps the most benefit out of it. It increases proprioception, balance, stability, and wakes up the thousands of sensory receptors on the bottom of our feet that are constantly “muted” by socks and shoes. Solely Barefoot’s purpose is not to tell people to walk around barefoot all day but spend more time being barefoot than shoed. What better way to spend time barefoot than working on the components of fitness.
