Improving Your Ankle Mobility

Who here would LOVE to be able to sit more comfortable at the bottom of their squat with their weight in their heels? 🙋🏼‍♀️


(This girl is included because my mobility is 👎🏻 since this knee injury.)


If you have trouble your ankles, consider adding in one of of these stretches/mobility exercises!👇🏻

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

➖ Ankle rolls: Super simple, super effective. Keep your toes on the ground & roll your ankles 3-5x in each direction.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

➖ Banded ankle stretch: Loop the band around the base of your foot & hold each stretch for :15-:20. Repeat 2-3x trying to get further each time.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

➖ Squat rocks: One of the best way to get better at a movement, is to actually spend time doing that movement lol. Aka- if you want to get more comfortable at the bottom of your squat, you have to sit in the bottom of your squat. 😏 With this one, use a beam to help keep your balance & gently rock side to side keeping your weight in your heels!
