Hi Gabrielle!

I continue to love doing your workouts, and now my 17 year old daughter is joining (and loving them) as well!

Question about exercises like scooter where the back foot is on the heel rest. I have hallux limitus (osteoarthritis) in both my big toes and I do not have enough range of motion to bend my toes on the carriage and push my heel into the headrest. If you could let me know the best way to modify, or even make a short Instagram clip demonstrating different options, I would be so grateful-- and guessing there are others with the same issue.

Thank you so much!!

Alex

Hi Alex,

I love that you and your daughter are both enjoying my workouts!! I'm hoping mine will too, when she's older 😄

That's a great question! I suggest sliding your foot up off the carriage and see if you can just have it up against the shoulder block, thinking of pushing through your heel vs the ball of the foot. You could also try placing a small rolled up pad/towel under the arch of your foot to limit the amount of bending from the big toes. If that all does not work, try the version where you're a bit externally rotated through the leg, so the knee will be pointing towards the side rather than straight down. This will work slightly different glut muscles but it's a great alternative if none of the other hacks work for you.

I hope that helps—please keep me posted!

Have a great week!

You could also put a shoe on so when you point your foot straight down, the toe box of the shoe is touching the carriage and the toes themselves can stay straight and are more protected.

Thank you, Gabrielle and Susan-- excellent suggestions!
