There is a reason all that ankle stretching never seems to work… Everything in your body is connected. When one joint or set of tissue is stuck, the solution is to look above and below. For the ankle, that means the toes and the knees. Yes, stiff ankles can help you jump higher and run faster - like a stiff trampoline bounces higher. But if you can’t control that, you’re risking injury. And if your ankle is collapsing in or not moving well, that’s not a good thing. Working on full toe extension under load is the goal for the feet. Sitting your butt to your heel on a half kneeling Plantar stretch is the standard. And getting full knee flexion with the bottom of the toes on the ground is the goal for the knee. Fully covering your calves with your hamstrings in an ATG Split squat or a kneeling squat is the standard. Of course, there’s more to work on, but this is the start. If you’re tired of weak feet and stuck ankles, DM “FEET” to @thebarefootsprinter and we’ll fix that. - - - - - #feet #foot #footpain #athlete #barefoot #toes #bunions #foothealth #bigtoepain #footstrength #run #sprinter #sprint #strongfeet #workout #training #exercise #running #strongfeet #athlete #sprint #barefootsprinter #ankles #anklemobility #ankle #footpain #anklepain #achillestendonitis #anklesprain #anklerehab
