Pamela P 5 mins today - my feet love me again :)

This is to help stretch and build strength in your toes. If you have never done this it will hurt. The goal is to try and build up to 5 minutes of sitting like this. After you can do 2 minutes you can add some arm work. If it hurts come out of the pose and then go back after a few breaths. This is great for runners and those of us who wear heels.
toe stretching Challenge rules
- arm work might be - eagle arms, wrist circles, finger stretches
- Not all types of physical activity are suitable for everyone. Users take Challenges and training advice at their own personal risk.

“It is true, this was a little painful. But I am a lover of 6 inch heels, so this is a good stretch for my little toes. I will be adding this to my daily routine. ”
