Do tootsie Pilates
Like other parts of the body, feet lose muscle tone with age. Subcutaneous fat (the fat which sits beneath the skin, making it appear plump and acting as padding) on the sole of the foot also slowly depletes as you get older, meaning your foot and ankle are less well supported. Your walk will be affected and you might suffer from increased shoe rubbing and discomfort. It's the reason many people complain of a feeling like 'walking on stones'.
Small exercises like picking a tea towel up with your toes for a few minutes every day will help restore muscle, while massaging the sole of your foot by running it over a tennis ball soothes aches and pains. Equally, you can look up mini Pilates exercises and yoga moves for your feet online to really get them in shape.
