Ankle Circles
Equipment
Lift one leg off the ground, keeping it straight and your foot relaxed.
Start to move your ankle in a circular motion, rotating it clockwise for about 10 to 15 circles.
Then, switch the direction, rotating your ankle counter-clockwise for another 10 to 15 circles.
Lower your leg back to its starting position and repeat the steps with the other leg.
Pro Tip
Correct Position: Sit comfortably on a chair, keeping your back straight. Lift your foot off the ground. If you're standing, you can lift one foot off the ground by bending your knee. Make sure you're balanced and stable before you start the exercise to avoid falling or straining other muscles. Controlled Movement: When you start rotating your ankle, make sure the movement is controlled and slow. Avoid quick or jerky movements as they can strain your ankle. Common Mistakes to Avoid: Rushing Through the Exercise: One common mistake is rushing through the exercise, which can lead to improper form and potential injury. Make sure to perform the circles slowly and deliberately. Using the Whole Leg: Another common mistake is moving the whole leg instead of just the ankle
