Walk 20 steps on tiptoes and 20 on heels

Alternate walking on your toes and heels across a room.

Why it helps

This works the front and back of your lower legs. It keeps your ankles strong.

How to do it

1. Walk 20 steps on your tiptoes.
2. Turn and walk 20 steps on your heels.
3. Do it twice.

Make it easier

Do 10 steps each, close to a wall.

Make it harder

Add a side-to-side shuffle.

Stay near support if your balance is poor.
