The best ankle routine for swimmers : Dry-land workout #2

[chinmaybhonde]

Sir please tell some exercise for building up stamina and endurance

[robohippy]

One other benefit about going pigeon toed when using the flutter kick or the dolphin kick, besides the extra ankle flexing or extending, is that the whole side of your foot becomes part of your paddle rather than just the toes.

I like your little "swim fast!" move at the end!-- nice touch :)

[dianecooper]

Thank you. Your swimming videos are amazingly helpful. Thanks a million for your free swimming lessons.

I have decent ankle flexibility and mobility (for a beginner) but I have problems with coordination - to relax and to flex the calves in the right moment. Too many things to coordinate... 🙂

[NomadBale]

Except ballerinas *extrarotate* the hips 😂

[stanTrX]

My ankle in the back hurts because of swimming :/

[cypresspeter]

I believe I have poor plantar flexion due to high arches.

[SherifEgypt]

Very useful stuff especially lately in your videos👍

[blakejohnson]

We need more people that gets to the point like this guy

[TheMskemo]

Thank you from the heart for the translation into Arabic and thank you for the great content it provides👍

[ArtVanDeLegh]

This guy is an expert. He knows his stuff.

[ciarastrommen]

i noticed in your thumbnail that instead of having ankle mobility you just turned your ankles toward the ground.

[RiverS]

I disagree your not soposed to actively point your toes wile dolphin kicking this will actually decrease range of motion because you are keeping them still

[ruusamatilda]

I wouldn't say that swimmers bend their ankles more than ballerinas. Ballet dancers point their feet as much as they can, but the line of your foot has to be straight and rotating hips inwards is absolutely forbidden for aesthetic reasons and safety. It's also considered cheating. Many dancers stretch and train their ankles every day but because of their physics it isn’t always possible to get those overextensions. Still a good video and really helpful for swimmers!

Obviously by internally rotating at the hip the side of the big toe comes down to the floor and the foot is now at an angle where the heel is not under directly under the foot but to the outside of it. That's what's letting the foot touch the floor not that your ankle joint somehow became more flexible. That's not saying that keeping the hips a little internally rotated might not make you a faster swimmer just that your ankle joint flexibility did not change. At 2:47 in the video watch the woman nearer to the camera. Note that her kneecaps are pointed straight at the sky, not at each other. That means her hips are NOT in internal rotation. As far as actively using your lower leg muscles to point your toes at any time during any swimming stroke, I have looked as hard as I could for any EMG studies of the lower legs during swimming to show what muscles fire and when. Not only could I not find any studies of this, I cannot even find any studies simultaneously measuring the contraction of the quads, the hamstrings and the gluteals. Without studies like this no one knows for sure what muscles fire, when they fire, or what they're really doing. If you know of any studies like this, please let us all know. To really swim at the highest possible level this is critical information.
