Her saying use a tennis ball: me using my dogs tennis ball and my dog literally thinking I’m gonna play with him lol
He just sees you pick it up and is like “LEZZZ GOOOOO 🤪”
😂
The fact I am using all my dogs toys
Right?!!
Same! But with my cat 😂
64 year old here. Never too late to be stronger. May be a regular person but appreciate how this helps my pain and flexibility. Feet are our base. Getting older isn't for the faint of heart. Best wishes.
Absolutely right you go girl
I'm sure I'm not your usual demographic (I'm 30, male, meathead weight lifter, not a dancer or gymnast at all), but this routine has helped me a lot. I've had a chronic ache on the top of my right foot and ankle, and after doing this workout just a handful of times, the pain is almost completely gone. Thank you so much!
I am a cheerleader and I am using this video to help strengthen my feet and ankles, and it is working miracles! Thank you Hannah!
Your feet are like hands 💀 as a fat factory worker I now see why my feet hurt so bad after a shift, aside from the "fat" issue, my feet really can't do much besides stinking and I expect them to nonchalantly carry my 90kg body. Thank you for making this video, I'll focus on your exercises until my feet are a bit more like yours before jumping back into dancing.
Edit: I feared this would turn into a cramp fest but it strangely didn't. Again thanks for the video ❤
@chubbydinosaur9148 I also thought my feet muscles would cramp, but they didn't. How goes your progress?
“My feet really can’t do much besides stinking” 🤣 Omg I didn’t expect to read this, you are so funny!!! I hope your pain has lessened. I did just a few months of factory work and it’s tough. Those concrete floors weren’t nice to stand/walk on all day even though I was very mobile and healthy at the time!
I want to thank you. I really needed to find a feet strengthing AND stretching video because I feel like need better Pointe for exam day and this really helped
This tutorial is an absolute miracle! I have been doing it consistently for around a year and a half, and the results are incredible!! I have struggled rather a lot with pointe work as my feet were abnormally un-flexible (my pointed foot was no different to a relaxed foot!), but now I can finally get my feet to a straight line!! Would 100 percent recommend this video to every dancer out there!
Oh my god ! I am exactly at your starting point now my feet pointed don’t even look like they are so I am going to work as hard as you and I hope I will get the same results ! ☺️☺️ congratulations on your hard work and your results !
@@jade_b Thankyou so much! Its all about the consistency and however long it takes, you will 100 percent get there!! Best of luck xx
That is an amazing comment. I 'vê being doing some exercises, but I will try these ones too, because I'm really not able to reach full Pointed feet, to be able to wear my Pointe shoes. I will work hard like you.
Did you do this everyday? I have flat feet and I want to work on getting better feet and a higher arch!
So excited , feet are definitely my weakest point so I'm really looking forward to this routine to help me get better feet 🙂❤️ love you Hannah ☺️💗
I hope that you found it helpful :)
No pun intended? Haha 😉
Same!!
I get the worst cramps in my feet. I'm excited to try this. ☺️❤
I took ballet as a young kid and had to leave bc my sister hated it but i wanted to continue. It’s been 11 years and i miss it so thank you for helping me gain back some old skills and teach me
U left because your sister hated it?
I started pointe a couple weeks ago, and I realized my left foot had trouble going over, but my right foot had no problem. I'm trying this every day to see if there is a difference for when my next pointe class is.
So day one :✅
how did it go??
@@eidielondon2902 well, it definitely helped! Like i was able to stand up and balance much easier. And i could get over the shoes too.
I was like: "This is not going to be too hard I can do this one..." After I already done like an hour of strength and stretch. Wow what was I thinking hahah. But I'm glad I did it. It is a really good tutorial!
By the way Hannah, your penche tutorial is really helping me get my penche. I've been struggling for ages so to see progress has really been great. Thank you!
Yay! So happy to hear that my tutorials are helping you progress, keep up all of your hard work :)
I made my own playlist of your strength and flexibility and so far my feet are crying but they look better and my arch is a lot nicer
Yay! SO happy to hear that this is helpful for you!
Thank you. I am a runner trying to strengthen my feet. This is very useful.
I'm an artistic swimmer. I need to get better pointes I started yesterday and I've already seen progress
My tennis ball keeps rolling away 🤣
haha, I used to have the same problem. It will get easier with practice
@@HannahMartinRG Do you have a tip on how to do it right? My body wants to place the big toe on top of the ball to keep it from rolling away, but I don't know if that with help strengthen my toes and feet 😂
Thank you Hannah i have been waiting for this!
Hope you found it helpful :)
I am currently in Grade 4 and my exams are in the following month. This video has helped me improve my arch especially for my left foot. i am really inspired by you. :)
how many times a week/day do you do this video??
I’m so grateful for you and your videos
Can’t wait for This video Hannah! 💖
Thanks Bella! Hope you enjoyed :)
Thank you, Hannah! It felt great
Yay! Happy to hear this!
1. Toes against ball. 2. Ball straight horizontal line under foot wide toes then stretched toes. 3. Ball round the outerside of the foot wide toes then stretched toes. 4. Fles toes and foot forward. 5. Sit on heel stretch foot. 6. Tummy straight knees toes pushing away 7. Ankle rolls
Wow, what a generous chunk of content! Looks pretty good, too. Plus, great idea to use the hand shape to train the "dome". Haven't seen that before. Thank you for sharing these!
This is another thing I really want to work on! Thank you for this tutorial!
No problem! I hope it has been helpful for you :)
Thank you, thank u! ❤
Awesome extra vids
No problem! Hope they were helpful :)
These exercises are superb. Good job!
Yay! So glad to hear that!
I definately need this! Thanks Hannah!!
No problem! so glad to hear it was helpful for you!
I always loved your ballet class!can you do a more advance class?Thank you so much!by the way you are my inspiration!:)
Thank you! I will definitely see what I can do! Maybe some more live-streamed ballet classes are on the cards for this summer? :)
This video was super helpful. I'm a rock climber, weight lifter, and soccer player. In my early 20s, I rolled my ankles in soccer games and lost the strength to be able to wear heels. I want to be able to at least wear wedges so, I originally did this video for that but, I'm sure this routine will be great to create a better mind-body connection to my feet for rock climbing. Thank you again!
I enjoyed watching your ballet work outs
Thank you! So helpful! Can’t wait to start!
I needed this! Thank you so much. Saved
Excellent tutorial. Thankyou.
Love you soooo much
You inspiring me and my hole life change after I watched you
Thank you for every video you made it for us
Love you the most ❤️❤️ magnificent kind person 😌
So so so helpful thanks so much❤❤😊
I love the music ♡
Thank you for this video, I am a rhythmic gymnast, and these exercises helped me. Some exercises were hard, but it is very helpful.💜
Yay! So happy you found them helpful :)
4th 😂 so excited for the video Hannah it’s gonna be amazing I’m sure❤️ ilysm❤️🥺💜💙💞😭💕🦋🥰
Thank you Jess :)
I love this video. It improves my foot strengthness. Since I'm a ballerina. (a young one. 10 yrs old
REMINDER TURNED ON❤️
:)
I’m 15 almost 16 and my DREAM is to go onto pointe
Problem is I’m graduating in like 3 years and I just started ballet so I’m hoping these will improve my foot strength and get me into pre pointe and pointe faster
Thank you 🙂
We also practice with similar exercises before our tai chi chuan sessions ;
My toes are not as flexible as a ballerina 😬 but we do not deplore any major issue !
Our masters say :
Practice 10 min every day ; no need for hours but EVERY day ! 😊
My friend and i wanna start doing ballet so this video helps us so much! I can see the diffrence! Even tho one leg is broken i try doing it with one leg till it heals!❤
Thank you for the video!! How long should it take to see results? Also, I struggle to actually just do the doming exercise- my feet won’t go into the position unless I literally place them there with my hands. Any advice? 💞
It depends! If your toes are curling instead of pointing, you should do some exercises to change the way your feet point! One that’s really effect is, sitting down, put ur legs straight on the floor and sit up straight, then reach to your toes, put your foot in releve (pull ur foot forward but don’t point your toes), and then put your hand under your toes, then push your toes into your hand, and keep repeatedly do it! It make take a few days maybe even weeks, but after you do that you won’t curl your toes anymore. Hope this helped!
Thank you
Thank you a lot ❤. I am learning free swimming and I recently even join a swimming club. I was not so happy with my progress so I bought me a book about swimming. They mentioned early in the book how important it is to have good plantar flexibiity showing picture of some of the best swimmers in the worlds. One of these guys could stand up from sitting position up to his toes💪. I realise that i was very week and that is probably one of the reason my kick under water is very slow☹️. The book dont really reveal so many good excersizes in the book flexibily so I am glad I found your channel. I just did those drills and It feels grate. You are the best and your voice is so calm and relaxed, i like the music it is easy to understand and I like you showing the time so it become easier to complete all drills. All the best to you ❤
Going to give this a go. I'm not any kind of dancer (or flexible in any way) but I think this will be useful for martial arts, as I find my feet cramp a lot. I have watched a couple of videos and there's no way I can do half of the beginner stretches, think I have a lot to work on
I hope that you found this video helpful! It's so cool to hear it helping people across all different disciplines :)
After one try and my feet are already so much more flexible!
Yay! So happy to hear that ;)
These were really hard but thanks. I’ll do these for a month and see if my swimming coach can see the difference. I do exercises 2/3 times a day but this is next level.
I really really love 💕 how Hannah martin teach and how she always say at start to be careful cause she's not with you.
So happy to hear that you like the tutorial! Being careful and listening to your body is so important!
I just started getting into poling and I wanna try this to help with keeping my toes pointed and pointing them beautifully.
Thank you so much luv 👣
Thank you for this. I got Morton’s neuroma from doing too much ballet at 36 years old. This is helping me get better foot control articulation and strength
Irish dancer here to improve my arches!! Thank you!
i felt the stretch in my feets!
This is so helpful!!! I used to be very active but I’ve lost a lot of strength and fitness from chronic fatigue. I feel like my entire body has just disintegrated and is falling apart so I need to build back strength but feet/ankle strength isn’t usually considered even though it’s so important for mobility!
Great video
Thank you!
I’m an ex ballet student and I noticed my point has been lost. My turns have been weaker, so I’m really excited to try to work at it again! Thank you for this 🙏💗
You are such a stillen trainer❤
I have high arches, that are sadly very inflexible so this'll help 😅. Oh my goodness! Just finished and boy did that hurt and help sooo much! Thankyou!
Man these exercises are hard. Just started with my day 1 of exercise for my fallen arch foot. The heel pain in my left foot won't go away for like a year now. Will try to do these exercises if it helps to reduce the pain and build back my arch.
😁Great!
🌈🙄thankyou so much
Omg😮
Just finished it and it was amazing Hannah and the bubbly energetic music was good (ı have to say one thing there is a song which sounds like futuristic and you use it on your videos quite a lot and ı think its a little bit distracting :/ )
That song is: 5.45
Okay! Thank you for your feedback, it is always helpful for me to know what works and what doesn't. I will keep it in mind when I created videos in the future!
Absolutely brilliant and helpful in every way. How do I get the pointe video? I followed the instructions and checked spam, but--no email!
I did just the first stretch (toes) and my feet feels so much better.
hey hannah!
Heya!
Hi Hannah I am a self taught dancer so how do I know that my feet are strong enough for pointe shoes ??????
Btw love you Hannah 😘
That is a tricky one as I would normally say to always ask your teacher. I would recommend asking the person in the pointe shoe store when they fit your shoes. Often they have quite good knowledge in regards to ballet and foot strength :)
Do you have any tips for how to heal from an ankle that has been twisted many times? 😊
Firstly I want to say I am not a physio therapist so I would definitely recommend taking their advice over mine. If I were in your situation I would wait till the ankle has healed from the sprain and then work on strengthening it. The above exercises should be helpful.
I am cursed with the flat feet, so I’m hoping this will help 😩
I hope that it has been helping, I have flat feet too and these exercises certainly helped me :)
@@HannahMartinRG No way you have flat feet!! 😮😮😮 But if you do, that's a testament to this work and your discipline!!
My feet are genuinely flat and pronated, but in the year and a half or so that I was doing beginner ballet videos, I was able to build them up into something that almost resembled an arch. 😅
I've been inspired for the longest time by somebody I went to high school with (this dates me), who danced with Baryshnikov at the ABT (no joke). He told me that he had flat feet, too, when he started ballet, but every day, he used to do an hour or two (!!!) of single- and double-foot demi-pointes at the kitchen sink, and he gradually built up his arches. When I met him, he had the most deliciously curvy feet... 😋 So I know it's possible. 😊
how long did it take you to achieve a nice arch and demi point?
Just started out point Gonna do this every day. See if it works
The final exercise with the demi to maximum relive is with or without support?
doing this for 30 days or more!
Day 1: MY GOODNESS, This was hard but pushed through!
Day 2: same as yesterday 😂
Day 3: Its a bit easier to get up to pointe now! I repeated this video twice! Remind me
Girl how do u have the time to do it twice in one day?
👍❤️
❤
Is the map material as same as classroom’s dancing floor? Thank you
Yes, I purchased mine from Harlequin Flooring :)
I’m not a dancer, gymnastic, figure skater, cheerleader, etc. Now my calves were burning I might be the oddball here who is doing this for other things ie lunges some people can’t do a full lunge cause of a bad knee I can’t do a full lunge cause of my bad feet. Now I can do lunges it’s just on one side I can’t get my knee to touch the floor. I did a few lunges after this video and was able to get lower. Also quick disclaimer when I say lunges I’m referring to front and reverse lunges where you bend both knees and not the lunges where your back leg is straight.
Imma try to do this once a day for the rest of this month.
I struggled with putting up the arch on my feet. I barely have one as is, because I’m flat footed :/ I also scrunched my toes a lot, I’m still new to all of this 😅 With practice do you think an arch will be easier to form ? Thanks!
Hi hannah im a self taught ballerina and dancer can you tell me what thing you wear for dance to reccomend?
I usually wear a leotard and tights with a skirt but honestly you can wear anything you feel comfortable in as long as it is safe :)
@@HannahMartinRG ok thank you so much!
❤👍
👍👍❤❤
My foot hurts when i try to point and i want to strengthen it while stretching the muscles and i also have a previous injury
Me as a newbie, not a dancer or gymnast or anything, just wanting to strenghten my feet, after doing this: legs sore and quivering, technique is horrible but im still doing this again tomorrow 😂 it was fun
For the 20 demi workouts (in the beginning) I cannot do it. I have no idea what to do and I need help please! :) I tried the hand thing but I’m still so confused. Please. Help. Me.
Your calfs look very tiny but somehow they are very strong, amazing :0
When I should do this exercise ?
Hyperextension at 0:17... My knees are naturally hyper extensive like that, currently I'm doing PT, trying to build my leg strength, what brought me here is I had a bad knee injury few years ago, I tore ALL of my ligaments and due to being naturally hyper extensive I couldn't get a surgery to fix it, because probability of the repeated trauma is up to 80%...Have you ever been warner against being hyper extensive and what dangers it may have?
👍❤😍
👍
I really want to do ballet. My mom signing me up and I’m doing tryouts after Christmas.
Luv the video have to work on discipline i would luv to have my feet look as pretty as your having problems with my falt feet in general I'll watch everything u show peace and good will
Thank you! My feet are actually something I am very self conscious of because they do not pointe as well as I would like them to. But I keep working on improving them and that is all we can do :)
❤️👣❤️👣❤️👣❤️
How many times a week should i do?
😂👍❤
I am not yet on point but I really want to be on point,how can I get on point faster?
It is something that takes time and not a process you can rush. Keep working on your foot strength and it will help you get there :)
How often should a beginner do these?
