Attempt to scrunch the towel with your toes and try to increase the arch in your foot, then control your foot back flat. Repeat this for 30-60 seconds for a set of 3. EXERCISE TO TRY AT HOME Directions In a medium bowl combine water and oats. Microwave 1 minute. Stir in ¼ cup of the milk. Microwave 30 to 50 seconds more or until oats are very tender. Cool 5 minutes. In a blender combine oat mixture, the remaining ¼ cup milk, and the next four ingredients (through honey). Cover and blend until smooth, scraping container as needed.
