Towel scrunch

Postureeasyrepstowel and chair

Sitting with a foot flat on a towel spread on a smooth floor, the toes curl to gather the towel toward the heel, then release; it strengthens the toe flexors and the small muscles of the arch.

How to do it

1. Sit on a chair with a towel spread flat on a smooth floor; put one foot on the near end, heel down, hands on the thighs.
2. Keeping the heel down, curl the toes to grip the towel and pull it toward you.
3. Relax and spread the toes, then grip again, gathering the towel under the foot a little at a time.
4. Gather the whole towel, flatten it out and repeat 3-5 times per foot. Add a small weight on the far end when it is easy.
