Toe Curls (Towel)

How to do it

  1. Sit in a chair with a small towel laid flat on the floor in front of your bare foot, heel resting on the ground.
  2. Place the ball of your foot and toes on the near edge of the towel.
  3. Scrunch your toes to grip and pull the towel toward you, bunching the fabric under your foot.
  4. Keep your heel planted throughout so the work stays in your toes and the arch of your foot.
  5. Release the towel flat and reset it, breathing normally through each scrunch and release.
  6. Repeat the scrunching motion for the set, then switch the towel to the other foot.
