1-Inch Heel Raise Walks
Exercise Overview
This exercise is to strengthen the intrinsic muscles of your foot and medial longitudinal arch. Hold weights in both arms and raise your heels just 1 inch off the ground. Be sure not to raise them too high as the larger calf muscles will then take over the foot and ankle control. Walk forwards a distance of roughly 50-100 meters before resting.
