Foot Exercises!


Simple exercises for your feet:
achilles 1)The "gravity drop". This exercise will stretch the Achilles tendon and your calf muscles. Position your feet on a step so that the balls of the feet are on the edge and your heels are dropped off the edge. Let gravity push your heels down. Hold for 30 seconds repeat 10 times.
2)Towel Scrunch. This exercise will strengthen the toes and the small muscles that support the arch of the foot.   Place a small towel on the floor. Put your toes over the end of the towel that is closest to you. Keeping your heels on the floor, use your toes "scrunch" the towel until you reach the other end. Repeat 10 times. For best results do these exercises in the morning, at lunch and at the end of the day.
