Celebrities Love Running Barefoot As Well
Running barefoot is all the rage these days because it can improve your gait and overall health. It’s a fad that is quickly catching on with celebrities as well. Check out why running barefoot is great for you and a few celebrities that are into the trend!
Have you tried running barefoot?
Barefoot running can help strengthen the muscles and ligaments of the foot and improve your gait.
It also encourages you to land on your forefoot rather than your heel. By landing on the forefoot more, you allow your arches to act as natural shock absorbers and reduce the impact to your feet, lower limbs, and knees. Running barefoot is not easy, however. It is important to start slow and work to longer durations gradually. Getting the best barefoot running shoes also help. Here are 12 celebrities who are also into barefoot running in case you need some inspiration:
Scarlett Johansson:
Scarlett Johansson:Scarlett Johansson is one of the most popular barefoot running celebrities. Many adoring fans were ecstatic to see her going barefoot running when a picture of her and Sean Penn began circulating. The picture clearly shows her love for the activity as she runs with her pink Vibram FiveFingers Bikila shoes.

Kate Hudson rocks a body that many women envy. Her passion to stay fit and live a healthy lifestyle contributes to her amazing physiques. She has been doing Pilates for a long time now and her new addition to her workout is barefoot running.
