GOOOOOAL for Strong Legs
by Rebekah Rotstein, ToeSox anatomy expert
Anyone else have World Cup fever? The excitement of national pride, the passion of players going for glory, the dedication, joy and tears of teammates and fans alike. What's not to like? And check out agile, strong and fit these soccer (aka "football") players are. Ever notice their developed shins and calves?
After the finals this week, try this exercise to tone your own lower legs. It's so simple you can do it while sitting in front of the television. With your feet on the ground, wiggle your toes as fast as you can. After just a few seconds you may start to feel the front of your shins fatigue. Try to build up to 30 seconds and eventually a minute. You feel this since the muscles controlling your toe movement extend up toward your knees. Convenient and quick, right?
GOOOOOOOOAL!!!
