Execution: Lift your heels off the ground and rise onto the balls of your feet. Your weight should be on your toes. Engage your core to maintain balance and prevent swaying. Begin walking forward while staying on your toes, ensuring that your heels do not touch the ground. Keep your steps small and controlled. Keep your arms by your side or move them as you would naturally while walking to help maintain balance. Take slow and deliberate steps, focusing on maintaining the elevation of your heels throughout.
Duration: Continue the toe walk for a specific distance or time. For beginners, it may be beneficial to start with a short distance, such as 10-20 feet, and gradually increase as your balance and strength improve.
Conclusion: When finished, carefully lower your heels back to the ground.
Caution: Ensure to maintain proper posture throughout this exercise, and take care not to overstrain your calf muscles, especially if you are new to this exercise.
