Strengthening your feet

Strengthening  your feet is key for any dancer or anyone who likes their feet. Benefits of working out your foot muscles include pain-free heel wearing, support in the arches and strength in the toes.

Next time you are at your local Target, pick up a stretch band. Wrap it around your toes and point and flex your foot, with the resistance.


Then you can do simple releves or calf raises by standing with your feet turned out and lifting up to your tippy toes and back down. Do it 25x's.
 These simple exercises will drastically improve your foot health. You'd be surprised how necessary foot stamina is; for those long days in a dance studio or hours on end wearing high heels, your feet will thank you.
