Simple Bed Exercises Relieve Swollen Feet and Ankles

Swollen feet and ankles are a common problem, often caused by poor circulation or fluid retention. Many people, particularly those with sedentary lifestyles, experience this discomfort. A new video circulating online offers a simple solution: gentle exercises performed in bed. The routine, demonstrated by fitness instructor Justin Agustin, includes ankle circles, toe pointing, leg raises, and elevated ankle circles. "These movements activate the calf muscles, which act as a pump to return blood and fluid from the lower legs back to the heart," Agustin explains. The video's popularity suggests a significant need for accessible solutions to this common problem. The simplicity of the exercises, combined with their effectiveness, makes this a valuable resource for anyone seeking relief from swollen feet and ankles.
