Lift Arches

 

Watch the above video and/or follow these instructions:

Start by standing with your feet hip-width apart.

Get your toes in a good position by spreading them out as much as you can.

Evenly distribute your weight across the ball of your feet, the outside of your feet and into the heel.

Now try to lift your arches as much as you can while keeping your heels and the balls of your toes firmly against the floor so you are turning your foot out a bit. Be sure to keep the big toe knuckles down.

Next shift your weight forward into your toes without lifting your heels and then back into your heels without lifting your toes. Then across into one foot and back across into the other foot.

It’s important to get in touch with your feet and to find your balance.

Do 2 x 15 repetitions of the exercise.
