Fitness & Your Feet

As you exercise, pay attention to what your feet are telling you. Your feet are one of the most overlooked body parts when it comes to exercise, yet they can tell you so much about your overall health.

Make sure to consult your physician before beginning any fitness program. This includes a complete physical and foot exam and especially important for those who are overweight, smoke, or haven't pursued any physical activity in a long time.

The American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) stresses the importance of foot care in exercising. People don't realize the tremendous pressure that is put on their feet while exercising. For example, a 150-pound jogger puts more than 150 tons of impact on his or her feet when running three miles. The APMA also reports that improper foot care during exercise is a contributing factor to some of the more than 300 foot ailments.

You can make an appointment at Southeast Podiatry to have your foot examination with one of our top podiatrists Dr. Brent Harwood or Dr. Bradford Egly.
