Credit:While walking is good for us, we forget to protect a long-neglected body part – our feet. They spend all day inside trainers. That's bad news.
Key to loving your trainers is getting the right fit. Banwell says we buy shoes which don't fit well – and shoe widths are based on what the standard foot looked like in 1926. She believes our feet are much wider now but shoe sizes don’t always reflect that. As a professional athlete, Sinclair’s job has been to get the best out of his body. His other job is working in marketing for property developer and manager Dexus – and since lockdown, he’s been running Zoom fitness classes for Dexus and for a handful of other Swans partners. Each day, he targets a different body part including lots of sore lower backs but when it comes to feet, Sinclair’s exercises are surprisingly simple. Pick up a towel with your toes. Stand on one foot with your eyes closed.
