| 1. |
Place one foot in front of you and put all your weight onto the front leg. The back leg is on the floor just for balance. |
| 2. |
With the front standing foot-come up and down onto your toes, raising your heal as high as possible then lower your foot to the floor. |
| 3. |
Repeat coming up onto your toes and back down about 5-8 times depending on the strength and flexibility of your legs. This may cause a tightening of the muscles. If it becomes painful or begins to produce a burning sensation then stop the exercise because you have successfully fatigued the muscle to its capacity. |
| 4. |
Come to a standing position on both legs and vigorously shake the leg you just exercised to eliminate any pain, burning or discomfort. |
| 5. |
Repeat this same exercise with the other foot. When finished, vigorously shake the leg to relax the muscles. |
