Set-up

• Sit on ground with legs fully extended and toes pointing up
• Loop band/towel around arch of one foot to create tension
• Place hands on each side of band/towel with palms facing inward

• Pull towel towards you, keeping toes pointed up
• Hold stretch for two counts, then point toes away from body
• Perform 15 reps
• Switch towel to opposite foot; repeat
• Perform 3 sets on each foot

Coaching Points: You’re trying to put a good amount of tension on the ankle so you get a good release off it. Make sure to get a full range of motion when pointing toes away.
