ANKLE EVERSION

Muscles worked:

This exercise strengthens and develops the muscles on the outside of your

lower legs (peroneals). These muscles are essential for standing balance and lateral agility of the ankle.

Starting position:

•Sit on the bench with one side of your body facing the power rods.
•Attach the handle around the ball of the foot furthest from the pulley.
•Straighten the attached leg and sit up straight.
•Allow the foot to rotate inward towards the Power Rods.

Action:

•Keeping your leg stationary, slowly rotate your foot outward, away from the Power Rods.
•Slowly return to the starting position without relaxing.

Key points:

•The only movement that occurs is at the ankle, keep the rest of your body/leg motionless.
•You should feel tension in the outside of your calf throughout the entire motion.
