A toe mobility band is used to improve the flexibility and range of motion in your toes. Based on the provided YouTube video excerpt, the process involves actively working against the band's resistance.
Here's a breakdown of how to use a toe mobility band:
- Placement: Secure the toe mobility band around your toes. (The video excerpt only mentions targeting the big toe, so placement there is implied.)
- Grounding: Press your little toes to the ground. This helps stabilize your foot and focus the movement on the big toe.
- Resistance: Allow the band to pull your toes inward. The band creates resistance, which is key to the exercise's effectiveness.
- Active Movement: While the band pulls inward, actively try to move your toes in that same inward direction. This controlled movement actively engages the muscles.
- Repetition: (Not explicitly mentioned in the excerpt, but implied) Repeat this process for a determined amount of reps or time.
Essentially, you are using the band to both create resistance and guide the movement, while actively engaging the muscles in your toes to improve mobility.
