Best Budget Smart Watch
Have your feet hurt while exercising?
Our feet may seem insignificant, but their structure is actually very sophisticated: there are 26 bones, 33 joints, and more than 120 muscles, ligaments and nerves. Whether it's running or pulling iron, our feet have to carry our weight on our backs every day. In high-impact sports, our feet may bear 20 times the weight of our body weight.
It is inevitable to have problems with such precise body parts after years of use, so the feet are also a high-incidence area for injuries, such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, hyperextension of the big toe...
Pain in the foot not only restricts all your life activities, but also often affects the whole body, and then knee pain, butt pain, and back pain may come to you.
Most people will stretch the thigh muscles, calf muscles, and buttocks muscles, but they often ignore the feet. Whether you want to relieve foot pain after running or strengthen your feet, you should learn to stretch and relax your feet.
Tennis Massage
Sit on a chair, place one foot on a tennis ball, and roll the tennis ball around the sole of the foot, including the toes, arch, heel and other parts. Remember to step down with a little force, and proper pressure can achieve the effect of massage.
Toe Stretch
Sit on a chair, put one leg on top of the other, grab the toes with your hands and stretch them toward your body, and hold for 10 seconds.

Toe Heel Lift

Toe Grip
Put a towel or a pencil or a few marbles next to your feet, use the toes of one foot to pick up the towel and other items, hold them on the foot for 10 seconds, and then change the other foot.
Barefoot Exercise
Try walking barefoot on uneven surfaces, such as sandy beaches, cobblestones, etc., so that you can exercise the fine muscle groups in your feet in a natural way. If the outdoor conditions are limited, you can put pillows, folded towels, and rolled up yoga mats on the ground indoors, and walk on them with bare feet.
Choosing the wrong shoes is also one of the causes of foot pain
