Strength exercise
Tibialis Raise
How to do it
- Stand with the back against a wall and heels a short distance out, feet flat on the floor.
- Brace the core and keep the knees straight but not locked throughout the set.
- Lift the toes and the front of the feet up off the floor as high as possible, working the tibialis anterior.
- Pause briefly at the top of the raise with the shins fully flexed.
- Lower the toes back down under control until they lightly touch the floor again.
- Exhale as the toes lift and inhale as they lower, avoiding the common fault of rocking the hips forward to assist the raise.
