Purpose: |
To strengthen the muscles along the inside of the lower leg/ankle |
Start Position: |
Lie on your side with the inside aspect of the foot/ankle to be exercised oriented toward the
ceiling; strap an ankle weight around the forefoot |
Action: |
Lift your foot up and down from the floor |
Parameters: |
Repeat for 3 sets of 25-30 repetitions |
Tips: |
Lower the weight back to the floor very slowly in comparison to the rate in which you raise
it (i.e. 1 second up and 3 seconds down); the angle of your foot in relation to the lower leg should remain relatively
the same throughout the movement in each direction |
