    Hey everyone, just wanted to put it out there that I damaged the fascia on my right foot (a few years back) doing the stretch where you sit on your heels with the toes curled.
    It took six months to heal and my body compensated by using my left leg more, which brought on problems with my left hip and knee.
    I happen to have tight fascia, which means the stretch is very useful, but I skipped some steps and hurt myself.
    What I learned is that it’s ok to lean on your hands for the first few months of doing this stretch.
    Putting part of my weight instead of all of it could have saved me a lot of pain.
    I hope this helps someone avoid my mistake.

Add to that a lifetime of judo, rugby and then triathlon and at 41 I'm in bits. These ankle exercises are incredible, 2 days and my left ankle is so much more free and mobile.

    I have a voguing competition in a few weeks and I hope to have a bit of improvement to do some cool dips and drops. I might come back to report my progress and how the competition went!
    04.03.24 - Day 1: I did some regular squats and practiced falling safely on a mat just before watching this video. Tomorrow I'll start the ankle and hip mobility exercises and also start doing yoga.
    05.03.2024 - Day 2: I did about half an hour of low-intensity and low-impact exercises today. I used LeanBeefPatty's full-body mobility warmup before this routine.
    My ankle exercises were assisted deep squats (advised by Barefoot Strength), calf raises and tibialis raises (advised by Squat University and Hybrid Callistenics). Also, following Patty's warmup, I did some deep lunges with a raised leg.
    I can get to a deep squat if I support myself, but I can sense I'm nowhere near being able to hold my weight, balance and fold my legs without support. But good to see my ankles aren't stiff to the point of that being impossible. I didn't do reps, I just went down, held it for a little while, then got up slow and steady. It felt pretty good, I can feel my calves stretching.
    Finally, I sat on my folded legs for about 30 seconds like advised by Squat University and it felt pretty good, I think I can get used to this if I do a little bit every day.
    As for my drops and dips, I trained falling safely on a thick mat and tested some positions to get down and up as elegantly as possible. I think I'll do a lot of progress if I train every day, this might be promising!
    I stretched a lot afterwards and warmed up beforehand, but I feel like I might get sore tomorrow, we'll find out in Day 3 lol

If you integrate in your life something that needs to be done it becomes just like brushing your teeth. I haven't had a sprain since but before every game I do more ankle exercises and I am aware if the ancle is not feeling that well I don't push hard that day. One game is not worth it. I would say that my mobility is now at 95%. Hope this helps. You can do this! 💪

    I'm a recovering PF (plantar faucitis) for lifer, sore heels very quickly, even in shoes walking. Long days were painful. Now I can go barefoot, or bedrock sandals (teva's no good anymore). I have little pain after 6 months of life changes. OMAD, high fat, stretching, weights, walking etc. I do the deep squats just about everyday. or split ones. Knees are still a bit crunchy.
    I started with kneesovertoesguy. I'm here for more. Love it Thanks for sharing this one.

    You are so generous. I do teach mobility and train in a integrative way and this is key to improve range before progressions but it is also THE regression for those that can’t even access to an squat position. And also to access much more depth from their own axis…as it all improves❤ it’s a simple but very important gift you are sharing here🎉

    Doing this once made me feel so much stronger and I feel like my tissues are well stretched and healthy.

    I'm doing these exercises for few weeks now, also yoga and working out for a year or so, and today I was in the bus and driver hit the breakes and I thought "This is it, I'm going dooown..."
    I wasn't holding, I was just on my way to the exit, I was holding two bags! And funny thing then happened. Instead of loosing my balance, like I did in the past (I'm 44), I did some kind of a dance move, two steps back and one step forward, something like that, and it was so fast, don't know where it came from but it saved me and my first thought was "Oh, I know who to "blame", Strength Side! 💪🏼" 😄😊❤

    The leaning on the wall and lifting your toes up while your knees are straight is the best exercise for my sprained ankle. I have already strenghtened ankles because no normal human would continue playing a football match after spraining their ankle, almost losing consciousness and refusing any help because it hurts like hell. (You know the moment when you hurt yourself and refuse any help at all because you need to contemplate and collect yourself from all the pain first? Yep that's what happened.) Two days later and a half I can run again, do pistol squads and so on. I still feel it when I tilt my foot a little but it will heal. I just need to harden up and continue becoming stronger! JUST LIKE YOU NEED TO!
    I liked the last part of your video as well!

    The lunging squat is a similar position to a tai chi movement that is a creeping dragon. It uses this position, creeping across the floor low and exchanging the leg which is forward. It also requires a twist of the core and stretch of the arms for counter balancing. Very hard and complicated simplicity. Great video. Thank you!
