Re: [AlternativeAnswers] Exercises For Your Feet

 

Hello Andrew,
I have been featuring your articles in my subscribers newsletter and I have
upgraded my Newsletter starting in September. I am including a new section about
"Help for the Body for the Evolving Being". I channel the Guides for the body
areas they see we need to consider and then I research sources. Your last post
of "Exercise for the Feet", is one of the guides body areas. I would like to
include your article on this (with links to you, as always), but it looks like
the article cuts off and when I went to your site I could not find the article
in total. Please lead me there?

Also, now that you know what I am working on in the new format, if you have any
other articles that would fit the "Body" section, please email them to me or
direct me to your articles on your site.

And, I see that you have an affiliates program... I am interested in that as
well. I will read about it on your site, and would you please send me whatever
you need on my site to make the Affiliate Program activated... Yes?

P.S. I see by the stats on my Newsletter account, than you have many hits to
your articles posted to my Newsletter. Please know that you are greatly
appreciated!

Participating Fully,
Wholly Human to Become Wholly Divine

Subject: [AlternativeAnswers] Exercises For Your Feet

Good Morning!

Exercises For Your Feet

Your feet have a big job to do. That is why it is important for your feet to
always be supple and flexible, no matter what age! Exercises for your feet can
be done practically anywhere... so you have no excuse.

Yoga therapy has wonderful exercises to keep the feet smooth, flexible and pain
free! Yoga can develop proper alignment of the knees, ankles and feet. It can
help to prevent such foot problems as bunions, plantar fasciitis and shin
splints.

Stretching in general, is either dynamic (meaning they involve motion) or static
(meaning they involve no motion). Dynamic stretches affect dynamic flexibility
and static stretches affect static flexibility (and dynamic flexibility to some
degree). Just as there are different types of flexibility, there are also
different types of stretching. When done properly, stretching can do more than
just increase flexibility. Benefits of stretching include:

*enhanced physical fitness
*enhanced ability to learn and perform skilled movements
*increased mental and physical relaxation
*enhanced development of body awareness
*reduced risk of injury to joints, muscles, and tendons
*reduced muscular soreness
*reduced muscular tension
*increased suppleness due to stimulation of the production of chemicals which,
lubricate connective tissues

Exercises for the Feet

1. Increased flexibility, relieves hammertoe and bunions : Sitting in a chair,
rest your heels on the floor. Be sure the heels are in line with the knees.
Inhale as you flex your toes, so there is space between them, them, slowly lift
them up toward your knees, flexing the angle of the feet. Exhale and press
through the center of the feet as you place them back on the floor. Toes are the
last thing to touch the floor. Keep your heels on the floor the entire time.
Repeat 15-20 times. Improve the flexibility of your feet, click here.

2. Strengthens ankles and calves : Face the wall with your feet together. You
can use the wall for balance only. Press up through the feet, lifting your heels
as high as possible. Slowly lower. Repeat 15-20 times. For additional help with
this pose and variations, click here.

3. Relieves plantar fasciitis, strengthens arches: While sitting, place your
foot on a towel on the floor and scrunch the towel toward you with your toes.
Scrunch the towel inch by inch, so it bunches up under your arch. Repeat 15-20
times. For more plantar fasciitis exercises, click here.

4. Relieves symptoms from bunions: Weave the fingers of one hand between each of
the toes of your opposite foot. With a firm grip, massage and stretch the toes
and ball of the foot. Open the space between the toes and work on the mobility
of the foot. Repeat 15-20 times. Relieve symptoms your feet experience
