Under-desk toe and arch wake-up for long debugging sessions

During deep focus your feet hardly move, and they can feel stiff and cold by lunch. You can do this one with your shoes off, without leaving the chair.

  1. Feet flat on the floor. Spread your toes as wide as you can, hold for three seconds, then relax. Eight times.
  2. Lift only your big toes and keep the small toes down, then switch. Six rounds. It's harder than it sounds.
  3. Roll each sole slowly over a water bottle or a tennis ball, heel to toe, for thirty seconds per foot.
  4. Point and flex both feet ten times.

Pair it with a build or a test run so it fits into the day. A short guided version is in Flexor App for stretching.
