Toe Flutters

For the Toe Flutters, start by getting in a comfortable standing position. To begin the exercise, lift the toes of one foot up off the ground while keeping both heels and the entire opposing foot planted firmly on the ground. Repeat the same action with the other foot, pumping your feet as if you were running in place. Pump your feet back and forth at a comfortable speed throughout the elapsed time.

This exercise/dynamic stretch is important in preventing Shin Splints. This stretch works on moving the foot through its full range of motion to adequately prepare the muscles of the shins for high intensity training.
