Exercise: Ankle Roll Warm Up

  Print This Page  Send to a Friend

· Sit on ground with legs fully extended and toes pointing up, with hands on ground for support
· Bend left leg 90 degrees and cross it over right leg, keeping left foot flat on ground
· Raise right leg slightly off ground and rotate ankle clockwise for 15 reps; repeat counter clockwise for 15 reps
· Switch legs, performing same sets and reps with left ankle

Adaptation: Have a partner manually resist your rotation with her hands. This adds an element of strength to the exercise.

Harrison’s hints: Keep your knee straight, but not locked and stiff // Maintain a straight, flat back // Try to get as much range of motion as you can. The more you do this drill, the more improvement you’ll see.
