Ankle Circles & Toe Rises
Cool-Down · Move 8 of 9 · 5 each way · 5 rises
Why this one
Your feet and ankles carry you all day, yet they’re easy to forget. Waking them first builds the balance and stability that protect you on every step.
How to do it
Lift your right foot slightly and circle the ankle five times each way, then switch legs. Finish by rising onto the balls of both feet and lowering slowly, five times.
Keep in mind
Hold a wall for balance if you like.
Every move: lightly lift your pelvic floor — a gentle lift, never a clench — and breathe slow and full (hold the stretches for about 5 easy breaths, at least 30 seconds). New to the lift? →
