Raise Inner Toes
With raised arches, lift your inner three toes, keeping the big toe and littlest toe down on the ground, then lower them back down. Repeat this slowly 5-10 times.
Raise Big Toes
With raised arches, lift only both big toes, keeping the other four on the ground, then lower them back down. Repeat this slowly 5-10 times. This exercise and the next one require a gradual re-learning of lost muscle control. When you first try, you might not be able to move certain toes independently. Keeping your spine straight and long, you can bend your knees and bend down forward to use your fingers to help hold the other toes down while you are learning the new muscle control.
Modified Side Jackknives (abs)
Modified Side Jackknives isolate the oblique abs for the kind of side cut that turns heads at the beach, with an easier setup than a full jackknife. Lie on your side with legs stacked and slightly bent, one hand supporting your head. Simultaneously lift your top knee and curl your upper body toward it, bringing your elbow and knee together, then lower back down with control before repeating on the other side.
