010.2 Lower body mobility drill.
Cirencester Personal Trainer.
Lower body MOB 3.
A simple yet effective way to mobilise the lower limbs, working your way up from the ankle to the hip, making sure to allow full range of movement.
Ankles.
Start by simply sitting on the floor with both legs straight in front of you, it does help if you’ve an object to elevate the working leg, however this isn’t essential. Lets start with dorsi/plantar flexion (please click the following link for a full rundown of the movement terms: https://www.apexathletic.co.uk/post/009-2-fitness-industry-jargon) be sure to perform this movement ten time, then we are going to move into inversion and eversion, again repeat ten times, and lastly, rotation repeat ten time but be sure to also go the other way.
Follow the same sequence on the other foot/ankle.
Knees.
Stay in you seated position but slight widen the legs, draw the foot in towards you as far as comfortable, making sure that the sole stays planted on the ground, ten repetitions each leg should suffice.
Hips.
Sticking to our seated floor position, draw both knees in towards the chest, the legs should be wide enough that you can fit your forearm between the knees, from here slowly drop both knees to the right keeping the chest square, then repeat on the other side until you have done a total of ten repetitions.
Enjoy.
