1. Starting Position:
- Sit on the floor with your legs extended straight out in front of you.
- Keep your back straight and your core engaged for stability.
2. Positioning Your Feet:
- Bend your knees slightly, bringing your feet closer to your body.
- Place your hands on the floor beside your hips for support or hug your knees with your arms.
3. Movement:
- Keeping your knees bent, lift your toes towards your shins.
- Focus on engaging your tibialis anterior (the muscle along the front of your lower leg).
- Hold this position for a moment to feel the stretch.
4. Returning:
- Slowly lower your toes back to their original position without touching the ground.
- Repeat the lift and lower motion for 10-15 repetitions.
5. Breathing:
- Inhale as you lift your toes and exhale as you lower them.
6. Tips:
- Keep your movements controlled to maximize the effectiveness of the exercise.
- If you feel any discomfort, stop the exercise and adjust your position.
7. Finish:
- After completing your repetitions, relax your legs and take a moment to stretch your feet and ankles.
