I'm reading the cool impossible by eric orton (the guy who coached the author of born to run) and while the way it's written is utter utter bollocks (he talks to you like you've gone to his town for a weeks training and he spends more time describing the surroundings than anything else) it includes both lower body and upper body strength workouts including a progressive plan for improving foot strength using a slant board then moving up to a wobble board and swiss ball that seems to be well received.

as I am now of the same mind as Ed re: not going back to corrective shoes I have ordered a cheap slant board to start doing his exercises to help my transition to minimal shoes, so will let you know how I get on with it and if it helps improve stability in my gait.
