Resistance Band Ankle Extension

Video coming soon...

The resistance band ankle extension workout primarily targets the calves.

The resistance band is used to provide added resistance and challenge during the exercise.

By attaching the band to a stable object and wrapping it around the foot, the calves are engaged.

This workout helps to strengthen and tone the calves, without putting excessive strain on other muscles.

Attach one end of the resistance band to a sturdy anchor point and the other end to your ankle.
Stand facing the anchor point with your feet shoulder-width apart and your knees slightly bent.
Keep your core engaged and your back straight throughout the exercise.
Slowly extend your ankle by pushing your foot forward against the resistance of the band.
Pause briefly at the end of the movement, feeling the contraction in your calf muscles.
Return your foot to the starting position by flexing your ankle and resisting the pull of the band.
Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions, then switch to the other ankle.

Position yourself in a seated position on the floor with your legs extended in front of you and the resistance band securely wrapped around the balls of your feet.
Ensure that your back is straight, shoulders relaxed, and core engaged as you slowly flex your feet, pointing your toes away from your body, against the resistance of the band.
As you extend your ankles, imagine pushing through the resistance band with the powerful contraction of your calf muscles, feeling the burn and intensity in every rep.
Remember to maintain control throughout the movement, avoiding any jerking or sudden movements that may compromise your form and potentially lead to injury.
For an added challenge, you can increase the resistance of the band or perform the exercise one leg at a time, focusing on the mind-muscle connection and really squeezing your calves at the top of the movement.
