| Two Ankle Mobility Exercises To Help Keep You Agile | | | | | | An Outside Ankle Mobility Move | | Sit on the floor. Stretch your right leg out in front of you. Using either exercise bands or a towel, wrap the material around the arch of your foot, then hold both ends in your left hand. Keeping pressure on the material, turn your right foot out, so that it is pulling away/against the tension of the bands. Return to neutral, then press your foot to the outside again. Do 10 of these on your right side, then 10 on your left. Repeat the entire sequence three times. |

| | | | An Inside Ankle Mobility Move | Repeat the above exercise, but instead of holding the bands wrapped around your right foot with your left hand, hold them in your right hand, then turn your right foot in and away from your right hand to work on inner ankle mobility. Do 10 on your right side, 10 on your left, then repeat three times.
The joints that connect your feet to the rest of you become stiffer as you age, and, if you want to remain spry, it’s crucial to keep them limber. Here are some more ways to do just that. |
