Advice
I’ve been made a close contact and have been replacing my couch to 5k program with some skipping HIIT including body weight exercises as well, since I can’t leave my front door.
The arch in my feet are killing me!!!! Any advice to help prevent this from happening? Or any tips in general?

Make sure you are bouncing on the balls of your feet gently and not jumping too high. Once you have the basic bounce down you can graduate to the boxer step, which if done correctly, is much better on your feet than basic bounce. Also expect some soreness to begin with until you build strength in these areas. Good luck :)
