Today we are talking about ankle stability. This is a very important topic that comes up quite a bit when I am coaching clients in a private session.
Your ankles work hard for you. They are asked to perform a lot of different tasks. Unfortunately, they don’t always get the attention and/or support they need during daily exercise routines. However, once the ankles start to hurt, poor balance kicks in, or an injury occurs they get more attention then we would like them to.
Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be that way. A small amount of time spent on stabilizing the ankles can help you prevent imbalances and potential injuries.
In today’s video I demonstrate two easy exercises you can perform in your home, office, at the gym, or even outdoors. These simple movements will help you build stronger and more stable ankles for your lifestyle and recreational activities, They can help you advance your exercise routine and even positively impact a sport that you play.
These exercises can be done daily. If you already have an exercise routine established, I recommend doing them before you begin your walk, strength training, etc. The exercises only take a few minutes and are totally worth it. From my experience, stabilizing the ankles as part of a warm up leads to better performance during the rest of the routine and/or activity .
And if strength exercises are new for you, these are a perfect way to help you create a new healthy habit. 🙂
Watch the video below and feel free to share it with anyone else you think might benefit from improved ankle stability.
To your health!

It seems that many of us are busier than ever and we spend more and more time using electronic devices, traveling in cars, and/or flying.
There are so many great things about technology and what it allows you to accomplish and enjoy. However, it can also cause you to spend long periods of time in less than optimal body positions. This repetitive stress can wreak havoc on your body and will often show up in the form of stiffness and/or pain.
Today I’m sharing a short exercise video with you. You’ll learn two simple exercises that can be performed almost anywhere to help you avoid tight muscles and maintain healthy posture.
After watching the video, leave yourself a note or set a timer to help remind you to do the exercises until it becomes as natural as brushing your teeth. Developing simple healthy habits that you can easily incorporate into your busy day is a key ingredient to staying healthy and fit for life!
