I read about the below exercises in a different foum's discussion that helped me a ton. It's a shame I don't have the penname of the originator, because these exercises are great. Toe taps: when sitting down, with your feet flat, leave your heels on the floor and tap your toes up and down. 50 with your feet pointing straight ahead; 50 with them pointing to the right, 50 with them pointing to the left. Repeat whenever you remember, until you think you'll scream if you do another set. Then do another set.
