Seated Toe Lift Exercise

The seated toe lift will strengthen the muscles in the fronts of your shins so your lower legs feel less sore.

How to perform the Seated Toe Lift:

• Sit on a chair and extend your legs so your feet are off the floor.
• Place the heel of your left foot on top of your right foot.
• While applying light resistence with your left heel, try to bring your right foot back up toward you; hold for four to five seconds.
• Do six to eight repetitions, then switch legs and repeat.

Best done after any leg-strengthening exercise.
