You Have Poor Ankle Mobility

September 01, 2014  /  Mike Bissanti

Yes, it's probably true. Most people that I work with have very poor mobility in their ankle joint. The ankle joint is a mobile joint and should be able to move freely in a variety of directions.

When people have poor mobility in their ankle then it can lead to injuries in the ankle, knee, or hip. It also leads to issues during squatting movements or olympic lifting and can reduce power output while sprinting.

 Improve ankle mobility by incorporating this during your next workout:

1. Ankle Circles: Stand on one foot and with your opposite foot make 10 circles to the right and 10 circles to the left with just your ankle. Keep your leg straight so just your ankle moves. 3 sets of 10 repetitions on each foot.
