Ankle Dorsiflexion helps to strengthen the chin muscles that lift the foot upward. It also increases the stability and mobility of the ankle.

Step 1
Wrap a resistance band around a stationary object. Sit on the floor with extended leg in front of you as you face the object.
Step 2
Wrap the band around the midfoot, making sure there is tension in the band when stretched between the foot and the stationary object.
Step 3
Flex your foot by pulling your toes towards you. Pause and then return to the starting position. Repeat and then switch legs.

Ankle Dorsiflexion With Band targets Calves as seen below.

Make sure you choose a band that allows a full range of motion.
Move slowly to focus on flexion and extension of the leg.
Make sure you walk your leg through a full range of motion. Do not do partial repetitions.
