5 ankle strengthening exercises for better walking and balance

Better walking, running and hiking ✅

Ankle strength is key to help prevent rolling/spraining the joint but also to help any pain or stiffness that may be present due to ankle arthritis or another condition☝🏽

These are suggestions for simple ways to work your ankles and the muscles that support them for stability 👀

Modify any of the repetitions as needed and use support to help offload bodyweight and provide balance ⚠️

These movements are not meant to cause pain. If they do- modify the exercise accordingly or substitute the movement for a different one- there are lots of options! 🙌🏼

Don’t neglect your feet and ankles- they are VERY important. Especially if you have a history of ankle sprains or injuries- it’s even more important ✅

I was inspired by a live foot and ankle workout I am hosting today for members of Adventurers for Life, my arthritis workout membership. If you’d like to learn more about it- click the link in my profile! 😍
