    2–3 min ankle pumps: illustration of a woman sitting at a desk moving her ankle

    How to do it

    1. Sit tall with both feet on the floor.
    2. Point and flex one foot slowly, ten times.
    3. Circle the ankle five times each way.
    4. Switch sides.

    Easier version

    Just point and flex your feet without lifting them.

    Safety note

    Stop if it hurts; gentle beats intense. If you have a heart, joint or circulation condition, check with your doctor first.

    Why women include it

    Long hours at a desk are part of many routines. Some women set a reminder to move their ankles every hour so their legs do not sit still all day.
