Tips

• Controlled Movements: Slowly push your foot down, as if pressing on a gas pedal, then slowly return to the starting position. The key here is to perform the movement in a controlled manner, avoid jerky or rushed motions which can lead to injury.
• Consistent Repetitions: Aim for consistency in your repetitions. A common mistake is to do too many reps too quickly. Instead, focus on doing a set number of repetitions, such as 10 to 15, and gradually increase as your strength improves.
• Avoid Overextension: A common mistake is to push too hard, leading to overextension of the ankle. This can result in strain or injury. Always listen to your body and stop if you feel any pain.
