Barefoot Training for a Stronger Core and Glutes – Dr. Emily Splichal, Episode 204

Did you know that there is a connection between your feet, your core and your glutes? If you want a strong core and strong glutes, you should consider strengthening your feet. That’s right, your feet!

In this episode of my Six Weeks To fitness podcast, I am joined by Dr Emily Splichal, a Functional Podiatrist and Human Movement Specialist. She is the Founder of EBFA Global, Creator of the Barefoot Training Specialist® Certification, Author of Barefoot Strong and CEO/Founder of Naboso Technology, a company that delivers innovative textured insoles and mats that help increase foot strength and health by increasing sensory stimulation in your feet. With over 20 years in the fitness industry, Dr Splichal has dedicated her medical career towards studying postural alignment and human movement as it relates to barefoot science, foot to core integration and sensory integration. During the interview, Dr. Emily will discuss the most common injuries she has to deal with as a podiatrist and how to prevent and treat them. She will also discuss the importance of foot awareness, the benefits of barefoot training and how strengthening your feet can tighten the core and gluteal muscles. This is a must-watch interview for anyone with foot, core or glute issues.

I learned so much in this interview about the importance of our feet, and thanks to Dr. Splichal, I am now walking around my home barefoot for at least 30 minutes per day, and it feels great! Visit www.naboso.com and receive 20% off of any of their products by typing in my promotion code “sixweeks”.
