Step by Step

This is a great exercise to strength and improve stability around your ankle. It targets the muscles on the side of your shin and ankle called the Peroneals
Like any exercise you should only do the exercise if it is pain free during, after and the next day. Obviously it is normal to feel some delayed onset muscle soreness between 48 to 72 hours but this should be manageable
Attached an exercise band to something at abdominal height
Pull some tension onto the band and hold the end of the band in front of you with both hands
You should be facing perpendicular to the band tension
Next stand on the leg closest to the band attachment and stand on one leg and raise the heels off the ground slightly
Stand this was for as long as you can till fatigue
You should perform 3-5 sets with 3 minutes rests
This session can be done 2-3 times per week
