Toe Injury

[bamajja]

Hello. I have been diagnosed with arthritis in my toes. It develops from toe injuries similar to turf toe. The exercises that have become impossible to do are any form of lunges due to the way it bends my back foot. I was wondering what type of leg exercise you would recommend that would be a substitute for lunges. I have been doing leg presses alot and am just looking for some other options.
Thank you for all of you wonderful videos. I am a true fan and in the best shape I have been in since high school!!

You can try lunges with the back foot on the high step. Leave the top of your foot flat on the step and there's no pressure on the toes. Step height varies depending on your comfort and size.

Thank you. That is the best I have come up with so far.
