Here are a few exercises you can do to strengthen your feet
using dumbbells:
Calf Raises: Stand with your feet hip-width apart and hold a
dumbbell in each hand. Slowly raise your heels off the ground, balancing on
your toes. Lower your heels back down to the ground.
Toe Taps: Sit in a chair and rest your foot on the opposite
knee. Hold a dumbbell in each hand and tap your toes on the floor as fast as
you can for 30 seconds. Repeat with the other foot.
Dumbbell Ankle Dorsiflexion: Stand with your feet hip-width
apart and hold a dumbbell in each hand. Slowly lift your heel up while pointing
your toes forward, flexing your ankle. Lower your heel back down to the ground.
Dumbbell Plantar Flexion: Sit on a bench and hold a dumbbell
in each hand. Place your foot on the bench in front of you and press down
through your heel, pointing your toes. Lower your foot back down to the bench.
Dumbbell Toe Lifts: Sit in a chair and hold a dumbbell in
each hand. Rest your foot on the opposite knee and lift your toes off the
ground as high as you can, using the muscles in your foot. Lower your toes back
down to the ground.
As with any exercise, it's important to start with a light
weight and gradually increase as your muscles get stronger. Also, it's always
recommended to consult with a doctor or physical therapist
