Soleus Push-Up - Physical Therapy Tip 

Let's do soleus push-ups! ✨ Have you heard about the recent soleus push-up research? A recent research study showed doing this soleus push-up exercise continually while you sit boosts your metabolism and can help regulate your blood glucose.
The study had people do this exercise for 4.5 hours straight, which is possible due to the soleus muscle (calf muscle deep to the gastrocnemius) not being very fatigable due to a lower-than-normal reliance on glycogen.
We did a previous post on how tiny movements when you sit have been shown to increase blood flow and even improve brain function. So, do these Soleus push-ups, plus some tiny movements, and you can negate many of the negative effects of being static for long periods of time.
