6 Best Ankle Strengthening Exercises
The best ankle strengthening exercises help to improve the ankle’s ability to tolerate the 3 main demands placed on them during athletic activity. These include; single leg balance, the ability to stiffen during force production (supinate) and the ability to absorb impact forces. In this video we provide 6 excellent ankle strengthening exercises, which help capture these elements.

Really appreciated this help. I'm 68 and suddenly feel my feet aren't working, especially in the morning. Had flat feet as a child. I will do these exercises every day to strengthen my feet. I don't want to become old before my time. thank you again.

If you dont mind a question, how is 6:10 correct. I supinate heavily (apparently) and i got x-legs like this graphic, and according to the segment at around 7:50 supination is the goal. I cannot make sense of this, because i should have straight legs and no flat feet
Exercises begin at about 3:20

I had a friend who told me that one of the problems we have with our ankles is that we walk on too many flat surfaces. As a result we overuse some muscles and underuse others. So it is a good idea to go hill walking, and if you are running on a flat surface it is a good idea to spend some time running backwards and some time stepping side to side in order to activate underused muscles. However best of all is to run up and down sand dunes which will stimulate your muscles in all directions. This needs to be done with care for the first time - build up the strength and flexibility before going flat out.
I really appreciate this articulate summary of key issues and exercises.
This was brilliant, perfectly explained, thank you so much for making this!
I'm just 13 yrs, I run fast but my ankle broke yesterday and I can't run now. This is helpful video. Thank you❤❤
I’ve found that catwalk (walking along a straight line with foot on line) with toes first helps a lot. I had quite the deformed ankles, now they are a lot better.
This was super helpful, as a basketball I player I deal with some ankle injuries due to the large amount of running and jumping. Thanks.💪
Thank you for your video. Just came in time I needed my scoliosis explained. Very informative , great exercises. ❤️🙏
Beautifully explained with science and logic.. WELL DONE!!!
Can’t believe the amount of free value you just provided in this video. ❤so much love!
This is the best video I've watched on ankles and I've watched a lotttt
Calves also plays a big role in balancing and absorbing shock while running. For me staying on my toes while running helped a lot.
The screenshot you provide at the end is such an amazing addition. Great content
Clear and concise explanations and instructions! Thank you 👏🏾
Awesome content, I'll make sure to include some of those exercices in my stability routine, thank you.
Wow, great video! Easy to understand, simple to follow, nice segway of examples, not bored once, all the while providing science based evidence from studies to support your claims. Well done!
Am so glad I happened upon you. At 69 I realize my ankle strength and agility now needs improvement after not cycling for awhile. Your heel lifts will likely do the trick. The idea of a balance board would be great too as I want to stave off the effects of old age for as long as possible. I always wished I could be athletic and in ways finally have achieved more than all those youthful athletes I envied so much in my younger years with nothing but tenacity.
Wow! Exactly what I needed!
Thank you for the knowledge of the ankle it's truly helpful.
Thanks! I have a slight scoliosis of my spine and both feet had rolled-in since childhood; I wore correction shoes back then (my dad had it all of his life too.) Your (red) skeleton diagram helped me understand how it all works (or doesn't work) together. After years of yoga now I find only my left rolls in (pretty bad) and the arch is pretty flat. I will start your exercises today. I even have a pipe and a board I can use.
Wow 😮. This was the Best and most informative teaching video I’ve come across on ankle strengthening. I gotta share your channel with my colleagues. Cheers.
Exceptional video. Thank you for creating and making available for free!

Surprisingly enough most people's knee instability is from foot and ankle weakness, strengthening your base relives pressure and improper weight distribution all the way up the kinetic chain

This is very underated information .. many of us aren't aware we are using bad posture and wonder why we have pain .. also learning to keep your feet ankles and joints strong and flexible is key to maintaining our youth as we age
This is an INCREDIBLE resource to be given for free. Thank you for sharing this and allowing it to be accesible to all, no matter what walk of life you're from. A gamechanger for me for sure as I have studied and worked professionally as a dancer/musicaltheatre performer for about 15 years and have had massive issues with high muscletonus in my whole body and excruciating anclepain. I'm very excited about my progress! Thank you again - Denny
I've been running barefoot through wilderness and rocky deserts for years, and I must say that my ankles are practically indestructible. Even if I need to drop 10 feet to get to the next rock, any pain sustained from the shock is gone in a couple of minutes.
Great, thank You! What do You think about the use of a slackline in ankle strength improvement?

Absolutely brilliant. Just discovered this channel. Xxx
And too, for those with TMJ, in many cases - especially severe cases, end up with a forward head posture. This affects the neck, spine, hips, legs/knees and ankles, resulting in one or both ankles pronating. Work on that posture and stand erect whether you have TMJ or not.
Really useful video. Thanks. Bob 🇬🇧
Indeed a very interesting video that opened up a lot of new things to my acknowledgement
Excellent contribution!!

Best single exercise I ever found for ankle strength came back in my days as a footbag/hacky sack kicker. It supposedly came from a kick boxer. Find an old tennis ball, put it under the ball of one foot, then try to balance on the ball. Since it is squishy, your ankle bends in all directions. I squished the tennis ball down flat enough so that I wouldn't roll my ankle too far without my foot hitting the ground. There are several variations with a section of a sphere glued onto a piece of plywood. Same idea. You can stand flat footed on the plywood, but I prefer to stand on the ball of my balance foot/leg. Took Thai Chi for years, and similar to other martial arts, it is all about balance on one foot and then moving to the other foot while maintaining balance.
Ok so I have learned so much from you. Had nothing but problems with my feet since maybe 25. Now 72. But you are making me realize that my problem might be more in my ankle. Very tight achilles tendon which no amount of stretching helps. I don't think I can do all of these exercises but will try the ones I can at 72 years of age. BTW I would love for you do a video on children’s feet. My grandson's second toe overlaps the big toe and I am worried he will have problems in later life. Now lastly I want to do your whole foot health program, where do I sign up. Thanks for enlightening me.
love this - great video

Love it boet. Always thought minimalist footwear was enough but I'd never thought about ankle alignment and posture translating into force generation for other exercises. Cheers!
I like your exercises about the ankle strengtening. I did some of the exercises on a balance board. Maybe I have to do more repetitions. Do you have also exercices about de achilles and knees. I have a neutral foot. Thanks!
