It is a good exercise for improving foot stability and strengthening one of its core muscles. Step 1 – Align your foot and leg. Exercise can be done while sitting or standing. Make sure that both feet are resting on the floor and you are relaxed. Step 2 – Keep your toes relaxed, don’t scrunch them up, and initiate a bit of a sliding motion, pulling your foot and heel ball toward each other. Imagine a dome inflating under the center of your foot or a compelling force pulling your foot and heel ball towards each other. The toes and heel remain on the floor the entire time, but the arches may hollow up off the floor. Hold for 3 seconds. Step 3 – Relax the arch. And now, lift and relax the foot back to its initial position. Repeat 6-8 times 3 sets in a row It can be done multiple times a day 5 days a week
