3. Now create a “foot journal” on your blog. In your journal answer the following questions:
a) Walk barefoot at a fast pace for 1 minute. What do you notice that’s different from walking with your shoes on? Think about your heel, outer foot, arch, and toes.
b) Stay barefoot. Now try taking shorter steps as you walk at a fast pace for 1 minute. Does this change the feeling in your heel, outer foot, arch, or toes?
c) Put your shoes back on. Now walk at a fast pace for 1 minute. How do your feet feel now?
d) Can you think of any benefits to your body if you walked barefoot more often?
