ankle exercises

[Guest guest]

Hi Leena,

You asked for ankle exercises for your son Harsh. I thought I would

share mine.

My gym guy has me working on a wobble pad. Although I do this at the gym, once

my house works are over and the boxes starting to unpack I intend to order one

for home.

The principle is that you stand and shift your weight from toes to ankles, from

side to side. It builds balance and peroneal muscle strength, and it is good

for core muscles.

My gym trainer told me to use while cooking, brushing teeth, anything. He said

I would also be able to take the air out to travel with it (as I travel a lot

for work).

The wobble cushion is found on

and it has a PDF explaining the benefits.

Best wishes,

Donna from London
