How much and when?
Two to ten minutes a day whenever you have a spare moment. You can do the work in bed, seated, or standing.
Caution
You should balance the toe curls and short footwork with toe and abduction. Toe extension is when your toes point upward. Toe abduction is when you fan your toes wide.
