Flexibility exercise
Ankle Mobility (Elevated)
How to do it
- Place the ball of one foot on a raised step or small platform with the heel on the floor.
- Position the other foot flat on the ground slightly behind for balance.
- Bend the front knee forward over the toes while keeping the heel pressed down on the floor.
- Drive the knee toward an imagined line ahead, moving through the ankle's available range.
- Return to the start position and repeat the forward drive for the set number of reps.
- Keep the torso upright throughout, avoiding letting the heel lift or the arch collapse inward.
