On the tread strength test.
Experience the toe effect!

If and when HIRONOBA gymnastics and YOSHIRO SOCKS are used,
Compare the foot stomping force otherwise.

By using HIRONOBA EXERCISE and YOSHIRO SOCKS, the function of the toes is maximized,
It brings out the body's natural performance.

How to properly perform a tread strength test

The reason people are able to stand safely without falling or injuring themselves is because they are able to step on their feet instantly. This "ability to step instantly with the feet" is important to spread and stretch the toes. Let's try it out with the stepping strength test.

First, let's face it in pairs.

One person sits (the pusher) and one person stands (the pushed). The person standing then folds his or her hands.

The person standing should spread his or her legs "a fistful" apart.

degree of freedom

This test tests how well you step when you walkIt is. You should try walking once and then stop to see how far you can open your legs. Ideally, both feet should be open about as much as when you walk naturally.

Lightly grasp both wrists of the person standing.

If your wrist is sore, you can do it slightly above the wrist.

Once the wrist is held, the seated person should extend his or her hand and keep his or her distance.

The seated person pulls his or her body toward the other person's body as it is.

When you pull your body in, your feet remain in the same position. It is easier to put your weight on the opponent if there is a little distance between you and him.

Once the bodies are close together, the arms of the seated person should be in line with the arms of the standing person. This is to make it easier to place your weight directly on the other person's body.

The seated person will put their weight directly under you. The standing person's weight is placed toward the toes.

If the standing person's body bends or either leg moves forward, he or she is not stepping forward.

walking strength

Essentially, a person does not need much strength to step on a load as long as it is about his/her body weight. In the above cases, people who need to put tremendous force into their arms to step on the ground, or whose feet move forward quickly or bend at the waist, are not using their toes.

Let's try the tread strength test by wearing HIRONOBA EXERCISE and YOSHIRO SOCKS!

Now test after performing the HIRONOBA exercise with both feet for 5 minutes or after wearing the YOSHIRO SOCKS.

Lightly grasp the wrists of the person standing with both legs open.

You will put your weight directly down. At this point, you probably no longer bend at the waist or move your feet forward. You will also notice that it no longer takes so much strength to step on the ground.

Even if you put all your weight on it, it does not move at all. This is the "power to stand firm," which is inherent in human beings.

Now test it with slippers or sandals. It is best to do this after performing the HIRONOBA exercise and after wearing YOSHIRO SOCKS.

Cross your hands together and lightly grip both wrists.

The weight is placed directly under the body.

What do you think? You were able to step on the ground so well earlier, but now you can no longer step on the ground, and your feet have moved forward or your hips have bent.

If you usually wear slippers or sandals, they will reduce the effectiveness of HIRONOBA EXERCISE and YOSHIRO SOCKS by half. It is a good idea to test whether you can stand firm in the shoes you wear at work, for example.

Indoor footwear

Many Japanese wear them indoors.Slippers" and "sandals" gradually reduce toe function.. Because the foot easily slips in the shoes, these footwear are prone to floating or flexed toes. Change the footwear you wear to work to something more securely fastened,Ideal to wear bare feet or YOSHIRO SOCKS in the houseIt is.

Let's do a backward-facing, tread strength test!

Some people say, "I can manage to step forward, but I can't step backward at all." This is due to posture. Let's try the stepping strength test in both forward-facing and backward-facing positions.

Differences in stepping force due to posture

Hunchback: Strong for forward-facing test, weak for backward-facing test
Warped back: weak on forward test, strong on backward test.

*It is also a good idea to use different testing methods depending on the posture.

As with forward facing, standing people should fold their hands behind their backs. If you are seated, lightly grasp both of your crossed wrists.

If you are seated, pull your body closer together. Do not change the position of your feet.

Continue to put your weight directly down. It is OK if you can stand firm.

Standing tread strength test

This is also done in pairs, both of you standing.

The person on the left is the weight-bearing side and the person on the right is the weight-bearing side.

The person on the weight-bearing side raises both hands to shoulder height.

The raised hand should be held in a gooey grip.

Put your hand on the hand that is gripped in a gooey grip. Then, let the weight go straight down.

The person on the left weight-bearing side resists so that the raised hand does not fall.

If the hand does not go down, it is holding firm.
If either foot goes out, you are not stepping on it.
If your hips are bent and you are twitching forward, you are not stepping forward.

Ability to stand on your feet = improved back strength

Human back muscles have a great influence on "standing, walking, running, jumping," etc. Back muscles (back muscle strength) are necessary to support one's heavy head against gravity and to maintain a straight posture.Back strength" is actually "the ability to stand firm."However, recently, not only the elderly but also children's back strength has been weakening. Poor posture can be said to be a result of poor back strength.

This data is for women. These are the changes after 2 months of performing HIRONOVA exercise for 5 minutes and wearing YOSHIRO SOCKS daily.Average 71.6 kgAfter two months, the back muscle strength that wasAverage 82.9 kgUp toI am doing it. I don't do muscle training, though.

Female back strength, average by age

27-37 years old: 85 kg
38-45 years old: 80 kg
46-50 years old: 70 kg

The average value for all ages is 75 kg, so an increase of more than 10 kg meansIt is the same as being 10 years younger in age!If you continue for six months or a year, it is likely to increase even more, which could bring you back to the physical age of your late 20s to mid 30s, when your back strength is strongest.

This data should draw attention to the fact that while it is important to improve muscle strength through muscle training, just being able to stand firm on one's feet improves muscle strength. Conversely,Even when exercising, if you can't stand firm on your feet, your muscles lose strength.This is because this is the case.

Scrollable

When I am able to step firmly, even a woman in her 90s can step so hard that I can ride behind her. Strengthening back muscles is thought to improve walking ability and strengthen muscles throughout the body, which may help prevent falls and caregiving.

summary

How was it? I think most people could not stand on their own feet. Ideally, we would like to restore the function of the toes with HIRONOBA EXERCISE and YOSHIRO SOCKS, and be able to step firmly even when barefoot.

Wearing functional socks, insoles, and shoes will allow you to stand on them temporarily, but it is meaningless if they are good when you wear them but become bad when you take them off. This is because you have to wear or continue to use those functional goods semi-permanently.

The important thing is to learn how to stand on your feet while barefoot. Many women want to wear their favorite shoes and go anywhere they want. In order to do so, they need to be able to stand firmly on their feet while barefoot. If we take proper care of our feet after going out in our favorite shoes, we will be able to live a lifetime of health and contentment without physical pain.
