My name is Terral Fox. I am the Founder of Unshoes Minimal Footwear and I am passionate about movement and health. I’ve always been active and as I grew older I adjusted some of my more extreme physical hobbies (like snowboarding) and picked up some other things like trail running. I made sure to slowly increase my mileage but I still found myself plagued with injuries. Eventually, I realized that it wasn’t good to be out running so many miles while I sat in one position at work for the rest of the week. As my wife and I learned more about natural movement, we discovered that we could make more progress on our physical goals by changing our lifestyle than by taking extra time out of the day to "exercise". We still go out just to move (or play) but our concept of exercise has changed dramatically. We now look at movement like food. You need to eat regularly throughout the day and you can't just eat anything, you need good nutritious food. Movement is the same way. For optimal health, we need to be moving more throughout the day rather than binge exercising a few times a week.  My wife and I have three children and we have decided to homeschool our kids. We are part of a local commonwealth and are active in our church and community. We live on a small homestead in Utah and are trying to grow as much of our own food as we can.

I firmly believe that our bodies were designed by God and that He designed us to function. There are so many subtle messages in our world that suggest that we are not good enough or that we are born broken. My message to the world is that your body is an incredible machine that was designed by God himself and that if you use it as it was intended, rather than abuse it by outsourcing, then we can find the strength that we were meant to have.
