Do you train your feet and ankles? Many people overlook this critical area of the body, but strengthening and mobilizing your feet and ankles is essential for improving balance, mobility, and preventing injuries. Your feet provide the foundation for every movement you make, and weakness or stiffness here can lead to issues in the knees, hips, and even the lower back. Incorporating foot and ankle exercises into your routine can enhance overall performance and stability. Give this workout a try! ▫️Seated Arch Stretch, which increases flexibility in the arch and reduces tension. ▫️Seated Ankle Stretch, which improves ankle dorsiflexion for better squat depth and running mechanics. ▫️Squatted Heel Lifts, which build strength in the arches and ankles while enhancing balance and control. 🔺When should I incorporate these exercises into my workout? These exercises are great to include during warm-ups to prime your feet before lower-body or full-body workouts, as part of a cool-down after high-impact activities, or on active recovery days to boost overall mobility. 🔺Who should do these and who should avoid them? Anyone involved in running, weightlifting, or balance-demanding activities will benefit from these movements, and they can also be useful for people rehabbing from foot or ankle issues. However, individuals with acute injuries or severe joint instability should avoid these exercises without proper medical guidance. 🐺 Wearing the @alphalete LS Stratus Crop in Autumn (S) and the Amplify 4.5” Shorts in Linen (M).
