This ankle warm up has a focus on ankle stability along with dorsiflexion/plantar flexion. I work predominately with 50+ women and ankles seem to affect the majority of my clients in one way or another.
This block can be used as a stand alone activity to be used 2-3 days per week or alternatively as a warm up preceding a squat/lifting session.
The inclusion of s/l balance assisted airplane w/head circles incorporates the hinge which is advantageous prior to squatting assisting with glutei activation.
