54-year-old Aunt Liu joined a square dancing team after retirement. Despite a minor leg injury, she persisted in practicing as the lead dancer, until a neighbor suggested that she try tiptoe exercises to alleviate the pain. Aunt Liu followed the advice, tiptoe exercising for 15 minutes every morning. 

After six months, she noticed several positive changes: better sleep quality, improved varicose veins, and enhanced immune system. Impressed with the results, Aunt Liu shared her experience and many friends joined her in tiptoe exercises. 

Tiptoe exercises have a long history, dating back to the Han Dynasty.

It stimulates leg muscle movement, promoting blood flow and oxygen supply to the heart. Research shows that exercising the calf muscles improves glucose and fat metabolism. 

Tiptoe exercises offer six benefits: muscle strengthening, balance improvement, cardiovascular health, stress relief, posture correction, and injury prevention.

Despite the challenges of initial discomfort or routine, wearing suitable shoes, maintaining proper posture, and focusing on breathing can help maximize the benefits of tiptoe exercises.
