Why Karl couldn’t take his eyes off Ally’s feet

Karl Stefanovic has poked fun at a quirky reflex his Today co-host has when he works out.

During a segment of yesterday’s show, fitness trainers Felicia Oreb and Diana Johnson showed ways you can stay fit using equipment at home.

But when Ally tried to deadlift barefoot, it was her toes that caught Karl’s eye.

“Look at their little frog legs gripping the floor,” she said as Ally walked over to the bar to do the exercise.

But then, when she started doing the exercise, Ally’s right big toe started to flex toward the ceiling.

“My big toe goes up in the air when I do this,” Ally said.

“Why is he doing that? He’s very excited, an excited toe,” Karl laughed.

“That’s so weird, you have feet like a gecko.”

But the trainers were quick to defend Ally and played a little prank on Karl when he tried the elliptical trainer.

“Leave her alone, she has beautiful little fingers,” the trainer defended Ally, assuring her that her barefoot deadlift is common practice.

“That’s a beautiful technique Karl, you look like a duckling,” Diana said.
