JUST KEEP MOVIN'
|
|
Check this section each month for a new move.(June/15/2008) Heel Raises help with balance using your own body weight as resistance.
Exercise of the Month: HEEL RAISES
Stand, holding onto the back of a sturdy chair. Slowly lift up heels, rising up onto your toes. Pause and then slowly return to the starting position. Be sure to keep your body as straight as possible, looking straight ahead.
Do 3 sets of 10-15 reps, resting 30 seconds between each set.
You can even do these in line at the store or while putting gas in your car. You can then focus on something other than the high prices!
Disclaimer: Always check with your medical provider before beginning any exercise.
