the other leg and repeat.

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. according to Robarge. 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!
