OK Ankle exercises? Weird, I know. But, your ankles are pretty important and without them you can do all the other fun exercises! So if you have weak ankles or you are having pain in your ankles during other work outs, this might help you out! I was a soccer player "back in the day" and I always had to wear ankle braces while playing. I hurt my ankles more times than I can remember. What is crazy is that they still give me trouble. You would expect them to hurt after running a lot or when doing a workout that involves a lot of jumping or balancing like Piloxing, or bar method. Don't get me wrong, they totally do, but they also drive me crazy when I am horseback riding. I have been working really hard to get ready for a Horseshow I have coming up and when I started wearing new boots and couldn't fit my ankle brace inside, I thought my foot was going to snap off! After complaining about it, Aaron said, "Why don't you just strengthen it?" Well there is a genius idea! Well after years of saying I was going to strengthen my ankle, I finally decided to do something! I did a bunch of research and these are the exercises I found and what my PT friends suggested! Also I am NOT a doctor, I repeat I am NOT a doctor! Just sharing what I found to be helpful! Ok here we go! 1. Plantor Flexion Oh, I'm sorry were you not able to see that, yea I wasn't really able to do it either... Plantor Flexion (Take 2) Put a resistance band around the ball of your foot and press forward. Do 3 sets of 20 2. Ankel Presses Put resistance band around your feet with enough tension to create some resistance then alternate pressing each toe forward. Do 3 sets of 20 3. Ankle Circles Just like it sounds, make circles with your foot. Around and around and around. Do 3 sets of 20. 4.Calf raises Raise up onto your toe for a few seconds and then back down slowly. Do 3 sets of 20. If you are doing this outside, I recommend putting any pets you might have in the house! 5.Eversion Use the resistance band around your foot and press foot towards the outside of your body. DO 3 sets of 20. 6. Inversion Use the resistance band and press foot towards the inside of your body. Do 3 sets of 20! 7. Dorsiflexion Use resistance band around your foot and pull y our toes back towards your body then release. You guessed it, do 3 sets of 20! So there you have a it! A bunch of exercises I have been doing to try to strengthen my ankle. Hopefully they work for you too! If not you can always check out some of these suggestions. Its says Broken ankle, but the website had the exact same exercises for a sprained ankle. I'm guessing these are just good exercises to strengthen an ankle. But like I said, I'm no doctor. After your ankle has recovered it is up to you, do you want to get a free pair a flats, or are you gonna go for some heals and really test it! Well, you can pick whatever you want.

Weight-bearing exercises are physical activities that require your body to work against gravity while standing, which causes your bones to support your body weight. This type of exercise is essential for building and maintaining strong, healthy bones.
Weight-bearing exercise that make you move against gravity while staying upright has long been known to build bone density.
I started this work-out about 1.5 weeks post-op. Remember, at the beginning of your healing, it is important to rest and keep your leg elevated at heart level as much as possible. The trick to a good workout is to not take breaks longer than 10 seconds between each exercise and 60 seconds between each round. My workout lasts 45 minutes and makes me sweat. Tips for Success: Use music that will pump you up. Google Play, a free app by Google, has a fantastic selection of playlists. My favourite playlist is "Drop-a-Beat Workout". Take your time with every movement. Don't rush and don't loose your form. This work-out is harder than it looks if you're non-weight bearing. You end up using more core because your foot can't touch the ground. Use a weight that challenges your muscles. The last couple reps should be difficult. That's when you know you're doing it right. Be careful of your casted leg. It's easy to switch exercises and then accidentally move the wrong way and loose balance or hit it on something. Time yourself. Try to improve your time in the future with smaller breaks between reps. Don't get discouraged. If you can't do it all, that's okay. We all started somewhere. Just know that everyday you exercise, you're stronger than the day before. Create a visual. Make a big "X" on your calendar for everyday you complete your workout. The more "Xs" you see, the more you'll want to add another. If you're a sweater like me, take a blow dryer on the cool setting to your cast afterwards. Sweat may cause mold and mildew which can lead to infection. Grab a water bottle, stay hydrated. Start The push-up is my all time favourite exercise. Not only is it great for strengthening your core, chest, arms, back and shoulders but it can also add an element of cardio. This workout contains 108 push-ups. Round 1 12 push-ups 12 one-legged squats 20 ticep dips - swap with overhead tricep extensions 20 shoulder presses Repeat 3 times If you want more, add 20 chest presses x3 one-legged squat one-legged squat push-up push-up tricep dip shoulder press Round 2 20 bent over one arm rows - each arm 12 bicep curls - each arm 8-12 rotator raises with double fly press 12 push-ups Repeat 3 times If you want more, add 12 tricep pushups x3 bent over row bicep curl rotator raise rotator raise pec deck Round 3 20 standing or on your knees side leg raises (you can do both legs if on your knees) 20 standing or on your knees side leg kickbacks 30 sit-ups 15 oblique sit-ups - each side 12 push-ups Repeat 3 times If you want more, add 24 Russian twists (12 each side) standing side leg kickbacks standing side leg raise sit-up oblique sit-ups Keep going for as long as you can. Hopefully this will keep you busy for a good amount of time and take a really hot shower when you're done and don't get your cast wet!!!!!!
