Improve & Boost Your Workout With Foot Exercises

It takes a lot of effort to look this good. Working out and getting in shape takes planning, time and dedication. Once you get into the swing of it, it can also be a lot of fun. When the results start to show your rockin’ hot new body, you vow to step it up. And as you step up your game, your feet begin screaming, “What have you done for me lately?”

When you incorporate foot exercises into your healthy lifestyle, you reap the benefits immediately. Our feet are our foundation, and as we stand, lift weights, jump up and down and put various demands on our body, we need to ensure our foundation is strong. Foot exercises improve our flexibility and strengthen our feet, ankle and leg muscles. Stretching foot and leg muscles, wriggling toes, rolling a tennis ball under feet and using resistance bands are a few of the simple exercises that help keep our feet and foundation healthy.

The best news about exercising our feet is that it can be done before, during or after our gym workout. Even better news, our foot exercises don’t have to be done exclusively in the gym. Some of these exercises can be done on the fly, at work, watching television, or as you go about your daily routine. Exercising your feet is an easy way to get a nice energy boost or a soothing respite.

One of my favorite times to perform a couple of my energizing foot exercises is while I’m microwaving my lunch. Yep, I exercise right there in the kitchen. As I warm my lunch, I raise on my tiptoes, lifting my heels off the floor. Then I rock back on my heels, and raise my toes. For a bonus, I hold onto a counter for balance, rest on my heels, then lift my toes and hold them up for a couple of seconds. My calves and shins feel the difference immediately.

Working out can be addictive so include some of the foot exercises in the links below into your healthy lifestyle. Choose between relaxing foot exercises or invigorating foot exercises, two or three times a week. Vary your exercises, so you work as many foot muscles as possible. Now your rockin’ hot body will have a strong and flexible foundation to carry it around. The experts in the links below will have your feet in good shape in no time. Enjoy!

She is an award winning author, the founder of The Jenkins Donelson Foundation, JDF, the creator annual National I LOVE My Feet Day!,and the Health and Wellness site found here, on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest, entitled I LOVE My Feet DayS! Carolyn's interest in feet began in college when she met a young lady who was born without arms. The student used her feet as hands by writing and eating with them. Everyone on campus was very impressed with that students' ability to overcome adversity and the respect and awe she garnered was well deserved. Carolyn earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Education and never forgot the young lady. Carolyn learned about the importance of good foot care from her mother, who was a diabetic. After Carolyn experienced foot pain she visited a podiatrist and discovered she had fallen arches. Carolyn traced the cause back to wearing flip flops that didn't provide arch support. Years later, after two pinky toe breaks, Carolyn's appreciation and respect for feet deepened and she wrote an ode to feet. In the spring of 2015 a talented illustrator brought her poem to life and Carolyn published My Feet: An Ode, which celebrates the wonderful versatility our feet provide us throughout our lifetime. Publishing My Feet: An Ode led to annual recognition of good foot care and appreciation. It was also the impetus for the Good Foot Care movement. Carolyn believes our feet tell a story about our lives. She is passionate about promoting good foot care and she is quickly becoming the " Ambassador of Feet". She is a Foot & Shoe Consultant and refers countless people to podiatrists. Carolyn is also the author of the award winning laugh out loud children's series, The Family Adventures of Princess Ladybug and Princess Ladybird. The series focuses on young siblings who are raised in separate households. Carolyn wrote two ebooks to help consumers purchase footwear.
