This exercise in ideal for correcting imbalances in the lower leg, which can lead to arch pain and shin splints. It's an exercise that is indicated for most sports, as it reinforces muscles that most exercises miss.

Place the exercise ball on the top of one foot. Press the toes up hard into the ball and resist with downward pressure from your body weight. You should wear shoes while doing this exercise. Do about 20 presses per foot and repeat it twice. Do them every other day.
