Band ankle eversion
The peroneals on the outside of the ankle are what stop it rolling again; they are also what an inversion sprain damages.
What it works
Ankle stabilisers, Calves
How to do it
- 1Anchor a band and loop it round the outside of the foot so it pulls inward.
- 2Turn the sole of the foot outward against the band, then let it return slowly.
- 3Keep the knee and shin still — if the whole leg rotates, you are using the hip instead.
- 4Fifteen reps, three sets.
- 5The peroneals on the outside of the ankle are what stop it rolling again, and they are exactly what an inversion sprain weakens.
Cues that matter
- ›Turn the sole outward against the band
- ›Knee and shin stay completely still
- ›Return slowly — the lowering is the work
