For this simple and effective exercise we will only need a fairly hard ball, as the tennis. We put it on the ground and, while we're standing, we will be stepping on the ball with one foot, trying to press in all areas of the sole of the foot, insisting that most hurt us. We must ensure that we pass through the plant.
