8. Joint Mobility Enhancement

Retaining joint flexibility calls for constant attention all year long. Start with easy toe stretches, gripping each toe and working it through its whole range of motion. Move to ankle rotations, supporting the heel as you create both clockwise and counterclockwise circles. Relatively to the hindfoot, gently rotate the forefoot to work on the midfoot joints. Add particular workouts for the big toe joint, which is absolutely essential for correct walking technique. Finish with general foot flexibility exercises; softly point and flex the whole foot to keep range of motion.
