TOE TAPS!     A helpful exercise to strengthen the shin muscle to prevent shuffling and to decrease your chance of falling.  This is also a great exercise to help with shin splints!

- Take a seat in a chair or bench, making sure your heels are directly under your knees, making a 90 degree angle - While seated, raise your toes off the floor, keeping your heel in contact with the floor. Alternate feet and continue for about 1 minute.  Rest and then try again for another minute. 
*This strengthens the Anterior Tibialis, the muscle that goes right up your shin bone

Many thanks again--especially this for the oft-neglected toes/feet/ankles.
