- 01Sit with one leg supported and extended, then loop the middle of a resistance band around the ball of that foot.
- 02Hold both band ends to create tension while keeping your shin, knee, and hip still.
- 03Press the forefoot away from you against the band by moving only through the ankle.
- 04Pause briefly in plantar flexion without curling your toes or allowing the foot to roll inward or outward.
- 05Return the ankle toward neutral slowly, complete the prescribed repetitions, and repeat with the other foot.
