  • Having sore ankles and achy feet can really mess up your workout plans. Squats can become impossible, your 5K run is completely off the table and even a 10-minute walking workout can be too much. One of the best ways to protect yourself against potential ankle and foot injuries is by strengthening the muscles in this area
  • and this simple trick from Pilates instructor Zoe Lewis can help you do just that.

The article from MSN, written by a Pilates instructor, outlines a simple yet effective exercise to enhance balance and ankle strength, particularly beneficial for beginners. The exercise involves standing on one leg, which not only helps in improving balance but also strengthens the ankle, knee, and hip joints. The instructor suggests starting by holding onto a wall or chair for support, lifting one foot off the ground, and balancing on the other. To increase difficulty, one can close their eyes or perform additional movements like arm circles or reaching forward. This exercise not only aids in physical stability but also promotes proprioception, the body's ability to sense its position in space, which is crucial for preventing falls and injuries. The article emphasizes the importance of regular practice to see improvements in balance and overall lower body strength.
