How to do it

  1. Lift the toes of one foot, keeping the heel on the floor, and reach one arm forward or up.

  2. Return and repeat on the same side.

About Toe Lift Reach

Toe Lift Reach raises the toes of one foot while its heel stays on the floor, paired with an arm reach. Keep the supporting heel settled as the front of the foot lifts. Lower the toes gently and release the reach before repeating.

What to focus on

  • Keep the heel supported as the toes rise.
  • Return the foot gently before repeating on that side.

Make the movement smaller

Lift the toes slightly and keep the reaching arm low, with fixed support nearby.

A mistake to watch for

Lifting the whole foot or rocking onto its outer edge. Keep the heel grounded and make the toe lift smaller.

Practice time and pacing

The app assigns 30 seconds to Toe Lift Reach. Use that as a time block, with pauses whenever you need them. Move at the demonstration’s controlled pace; the timer is not a repetition target. Watch the full movement once before following along.
