Stretch Your Muscles

Are your muscles feeling tight? Are you experiencing pain in your feet or calves? A good way to relieve the pain you may be experiencing, or to just keep your body healthy, is to stretch your feet and calves.
Here's an easy exercise that you can do when you wake up in the morning, before getting out of bed:

Towel Exercise: With no shoes on, place a towel or resistance band around the bottom of your feet at the ball area. Pull on both ends of the towel or resistance band while flexing your foot. Push your foot up and back 10 times, turn your foot to the right, flex your foot up and back 10 times in this position. Repeat for the other foot.
