💓 Your Heart Has a Teammate… and It Lives in Your Legs! 💪
At Cobblestone, we love helping you understand your body — and this one’s a game changer.
Meet the soleus — your “second heart.” 🦵💥
This deep, often-forgotten muscle (beneath your calf) helps pump blood back to your heart every time you move your legs. It works against gravity to support healthy circulation — even when you’re just standing still!
✨ When your soleus is active, you:
✔ Improve circulation
✔ Reduce leg swelling
✔ Prevent blood clots
✔ Support overall cardiovascular health
💡 Here’s how to give it some love — especially if you sit or stand a lot:
➡ Walk for a few minutes
➡ Do heel raises
➡ Flex your ankles
➡ Make circles with your feet
Small movements. Big impact. Your heart will thank you. 💗
