4. Towel Pulls
Pulling is an essential function of muscles and tendons. The contractive movement of the toes starts to lose its strength as we age. Keep your feet and toes strong by practicing pulling with your toes – think of it as like doing Pullups for your feet.
Fold a beach towel in half lengthways and lay it flat on the floor. Weight down one end with a box or an item you have lying around the room that weighs a few pounds. Place your chair at the opposite end of the towel and give yourself a foot-length distance between the feet of the chair and the edge.
Sit straight up in the chair with your toes on the edge of the towel. Try to scrunch the towel with your toes and pull it towards you. Practice this until you can complete pulls for the entire length. When this becomes easy, increase the weight at the other end.
