Feet Exercise

The way our hand works day and night, the same way our feet walks and runs whenever required. So, it is our duty to take care of the toes as they are the two strong pillars of our body. They should always be relaxed and happy. Hands and feet have easiest of all the exercises and can be done anywhere. You don’t even need to take out extra time for them.


However, if you have time for yourself, go for a massage and some acupressure. These help in better blood circulation and relaxes the other parts of the body too.

In the previous post, I had posted some images to help you get the exact idea of how to do those exercises for hands (check it here: http://experiencingseconds.blogspot.in/2016/01/hand-exercises-for-healthy-wrist-and.htm). Here are some easy yet very effective exercises for your healthy and wealthy feet so that you can be on your toes all the time.
Curl all your fingers in your toes, first stretch the thumb and the first finger, and then stretch all the fingers.
Move your fingers up and down.
Rotate your feet from the ankle.
This heel rocking helps in strengthening the lower leg. First stand on your toes and then rock back and stand on your heel. This should be repeated for few minutes.
These 6 exercises are very useful in shin splitstendonitis, Achilles', plantar fasciitis and also decreases the possibility of  sprain in the ankle.
This is a very good exercise for your toes where you spread a towel on the floor, put your foot and curl your toes to scrunch the towel.
Rolling a ball with your foot relaxes the nerves as it acts as a massage.


Hand Exercises for Healthy Wrist and Fingers

Hands are that part of the body that works a lot, day and night. It should be noted that the more it works, the easier it is, to take care of them. Nowadays, most of us are working on computers most of the time. Result? Hand pain, finger pain and problem in moving the fingers. We all suffer from it every day, but try to ignore it or take pain relievers to get rid of the pain. But, as I always say, when a disease can be cured with exercises then it is better to avoid the pain relievers. It will attract more disease in the long run. Here are few hand exercises that are very easy and can be done in the office, on the bus, in the car, while walking, talking, and anywhere and everywhere. Practice it every day as many times you can and the pain relievers will not have any place in your life.
