Other Exercises to Revitalize Your Feet
There are scores of great exercises for your feet including the most basic one, walking. Walking is the number one exercise for your feet as well as your body. It is cheap, you can be anywhere to do it, and will have positive repercussions for your health. Try to include into your busy schedule a half hour walk 4 to 5 times a week. As always, make sure to wear the proper sneakers or walking shoes for the occasion.Included below are some additional exercises for you to perform in your foot workout routine.
Towel Pickup You will use both feet concurrently for this exercise. To do this sit in a comfortable chair and place a soft towel in front of you where your feet are. Leave it bunched up so your toes will have something to grab. Grip the towel with your toes with both feet. Grip the towel, positioning your feet 1 and a half feet to two feet apart. Lift your feet off the ground, holding the towel, and straighten out your feet in front of you. Next hold this position for 10 seconds before dropping the towel. Repeat this exercise 10-15 times or slowly work your way up to this many repetitions.
Arch Relief Exercise The Inner longitudinal arch is the most at risk for pain and soreness because it bears the most shock of the weight of our body where our foot hits the ground. With various levels of overuse, our arches will feel stiff from time to time. To ease any arch pain that arises, relax, then roll your feet outward so that you are standing on the outside edges of your feet. Remain on the outside of your feet for 15 seconds. Repeat this exercise 5 times.
Pencil Pick Up This exercise will provide some relief for those suffering from pain in the foot, hammer toes, toe cramps, and stiff ankles. This exercise will also increase the flexibility of the tendons on the top of your foot. For this exercise, place in front of you a heavy mug resistant to turning over. Next, put 10 pencils down in the vicinity of the mug. Next, pick up one pencil at a time with your toes and drop it into the mug. Repeat this process until you have put all the pencils in the mug. Repeat this sequence with the other foot.
Other exercises for foot pain relief include putting both ends of a rubber band around your big toes and pulling them apart. This exercise is for bunions and foot cramps. Another exercise involves putting toe spreaders between your toes (this exercise treats hammer toes and toe cramps.)
