: #TTAeducation Today's Week 1 #MobilityMonday post is a standing anterior/posterior (front to back) ankle mobility exercise. Key points before you begin: - line up with your feet in a stagger stance about 6-8 inches away from the wall - the foot that is behind is the ankle that is being worked on. - bend both legs and sit back with the majority of your weight centered over your back leg. - from here, while keeping the knees bent, rock forward bad back, in and out to the wall - KEEP YOUR BACK HEEL ON THE GROUND - you should feel some pressure inside of your ankle joint if you are performing the exercise correctly (and you are hypomobile in that ankle) * what NOT to do * Do NOT extend your back leg while pushing into the wall. (If you do, this will become an exercise to stretch your Achilles' tendon rather than work on improving mobility within the joint) Do NOT lift your back heel off of the ground Check in with @toptierathletics and @vbozza all week for additional ankle exercises and training tips. Tomorrow for #TestingTuesday we will be showing a great way to test your ankle mobility for progress. #TopTierAthletics #Biomechanics #exercisephysiology #performancettraining #mobility #exercise #fitfam #sweataday
