Ankle mobility effects SO many facets of life - gait, sprinting, deep squats, probability of an ankle roll - you name it

Being able to perform these 3 movements in their full range is a great indicator that you have full access to your ankles - and while these are only stretches, it means they can be trained very effectively

If you feel your ankles have scar tissue, check out my previous videos where I go over ankle flossing

Here is are the sets, reps, and frequency I recommend:

1. Calf stretching - 60-90 seconds per leg for 3 sets each. Think about constantly locking your knees, and progress by putting more of your body weight through that leg

2. Inversion/eversion - 3 sets of AMRAP per leg. It’s okay if you do not have the full range to touch tap the floor - it’ll come in time as this exercise acts as an active stretch. This is done on a standard 3” height wobble board

3. Tib stretching - 3 sets of 60+ seconds. Personally - I’m an advocate for getting into seiza as often as possible during your workout. I love to rest in seiza between sled sets

Working on ankle mobility 2x a week - especially before leg days, can catch up tight up quick

I'm rebuilding my health from the feet up, so really appreciate your careful focus on the ankle.

I don't think I've ever seen each muscle group so distinctly.

I’ve sprained my ankle 3 times in the last few years. And the most recent time it messed with my knee.
Going to start implementing this now!

I sprained my ankle yesterday and the first video that comes up is a video on ankle mobility.

Thank you for this vid! After dealing with acute heel pain and overall foot pain, diagnosed with plantar fasciitis, arthritis in ankle and tendinitis. Once I get inflammation down, will begin strengthening my feet. Also, in seiza, had been dealing with ankle pain bc feet not flexing enough. Off the cushion at the moment. Looking forward to getting back on my feet and working out! 🎉

I see you're wearing zero drop shoes as well. That's helpful for ankle health!

I’ve added tib raises and they have helped me and my ankles a lot.

Dude got some great legs! Learned a lot of these movement patterns from Knees over toes guy.

Good vid! Though seiza will not be accessible to all and it won't always or even usually be because of ankle mobility. Knees, sciatic nerve, arthritis, hamstring injury etc can all prevent it

Bro what’s the brand of slant board at 0:04? You’re saving lives out here man! Peace✌️

True store, I sit in seiza all the time, started training lower legs in all these positions, and I jog all the time now and step in holes or step on a walnut. Prior to doing these exercises I would have hurt my ankle something fierce but luckily I have to now not suffered an injury yet.

Since doing kendo, which is very hard on your feet, i never hurt my ankels ever again

[connorturk]

The wobble board is crazy I can get my foot (pinky side)to go out but my going in is crazy difficult
