Foot stretching and strengthening apparatus

An apparatus for stretching and strengthening the forefoot of a user, comprising:

• a pair of parallel leg members each having first and second ends;
• a convex barrel bridging and joining the pair of leg members and positioned intermediate the first and second end of each leg member, the barrel providing a support for the arch of a user's forefoot for flexing and strengthening the forefoot over the barrel;
• a pair of extenders each adapted to attach to and extend from one of the leg members;
• and
• a removable elastic band positionable over the leg members intermediate the first end and the barrel to hold the toes of the user's forefoot over the barrel during flexing of the forefoot, wherein each leg member is a hollow tube having a cross bore adjacent each of the first and second ends, and wherein each extender is a rod having a plurality of spaced clevis bores each for receiving a clevis pin to retain the extender in one of the leg members.
