Toe Stretch Exercise

The Toe Stretch Exercise tones calf and toe muscles.

How to perform the toe stretch exercise:

• Raise your heel until only the ball of your foot is touching the floor. Hold for five seconds; release. Do the same with only your toes touching, then with your toes curled under so only the nails are touching. Repeat all positions ten times, alternating feet.
• Work up to three sets, three times a week.
