How to do it

Count two full seconds for each circle in both directions.

  1. 1

    Sit or lie down and extend one leg in front of you.

  2. 2

    Rotate the ankle of the extended leg in a circular motion.

  3. 3

    Complete the desired number of circles in one direction, then switch.

  4. 4

    Repeat with the other ankle.

Expert tip

Perform the circles slowly and with control to improve ankle mobility and stability. Ensure full range of motion for maximum benefit.

Common mistakes

  • ✕Drawing circles that are too small for range
