Day 6: Ankle Circles

What this exercise is for:

  • Ankle mobility

How to do it:

  • Stand with one foot flat on the ground. The other foot will only contact the ground with the toes (or front of your shoe).

  • You will have most of your bodyweight on the flat foot

  • Hang on to a chair or wall for extra balance if needed

  • Move your ankle in a circular motion 5-10 times, keeping your toes in contact with the ground, then reverse directions.

  • Switch feet and circle 5-10 times in each direction on the other side.

  • Do more circles if you notice either of your ankles are stiff in either of the directions.
