How to do it

Setup. In a seated position, loop a belt, rope, or band around one foot. This will be your starting position.

1. With the leg extended and the heel off of the ground, pull on the belt so that the foot is everted, with the outside of the foot being pulled towards you. Hold for 10-20 seconds, and then switch sides.

Cues

• Sit, band around one foot.
• Leg straight, heel off the floor.
• Pull the outside of the foot in.
• Hold 20 seconds each side.

Common mistakes

• Pulling too hard.
• Bending the knee.

Where to start

A starting point, not a law. Pick a weight you could lift two or three more times than the top of the range. When every set hits the top of the range, add a little weight.
