Or stand with feet com-
fortable apart. Grasp sandal
lightly with toes and swing
your whole leg forward and
backward with knee straight.
Never let the sandal come
away from your foot. Repeat
several times with each leg.
You might want to hold on
to a railing or chair for
support.

Another exercise while
sitting is to push down on the
bottom of your sandals with
a toe-curling action until you
feel your arches rise. Repeat
as often as possible.

In a more
program, try these:

Assume a long sitting
position on the
floor.Keeping legs straight.
grasp the toes of feet with
both hands and pull feet
toward you until you feel the
stretch in the back of the
lower legs. Release, repeat
10 or 1S times. —

With shoes off. step on
toes of one foot with the
other foot: try to raise the
bottom foot while pushing
down with foot on top. Do as
many times and as often as
possible throughout the day.

The benefits of a fitness
program are numerous.

Knowing how to use a body
efficiently can result in
better posture. fluidity and
flexibility of movement, with
a springier, more buoyant
step.

“Go slowly at first, until
feet find the pace.”

Sustained sports activity
builds endurance to help
ward off that draggy. worn-
out feeling that can make a
person look less than_their
best in late afternoons and
evenings.

Finally. after strenuous
exercise, relax your feet in a
soothing foot bath for 10
minutes. Remove the ac-
cumulated sweat and dirt
with a foot scrubber or pedi-
brush to make them feel
tingly and ready to step out
again. Towel dry carefully
and sprinkle liberally with
refreshing foot powder.

Follow up with this
quickie foot massage. either
doing it yourself, or even
better, having it done' Hold
foot in one hand and twist
ankle around a few times.
Then take your thumb and
press it firmly. inch by inch,
over the entire sole of the
foot. Start with the toes and
work back to the heels.
Finish by pulling each toe
gently away from the one
next to it. Your unwinding
muscles will thank you.

An advantage we have
over more primitive
societies is that execise
doesn’t need to rouglien our
feet. Rough skin removing
creams and stones, hard skin
reducers and files. and
softening foot lotions are
available to help keep skin in
good shape.

A little “tender
care” can make feet
stronger, healthier and
better looking too!
