Isometric Boost
•
05-Aug-2024
If you need a quick boost, this 15-minute isometric workout will help strengthen muscles that plantar flex the ankle joint (talorcrural) and mid-foot joints (subtalar), namely the gastrocnemius, soleus, peroneus longus, peroneus brevis, posterior tibialis and plantaris. These are involved in supination. You will need a Theraband and a chair for this workout to create the necessary resistance in some of the exercises to create the resistance needed to engage our muscles. Experience seated, standing, and both supine / prone positions on the ground.
Weakness in these areas can affect our overall gait and have a great influence in the knee, hip, and core. This routine can be done anywhere, anytime. It can reduce fatigue after exercise, as a prevention from injury, and to help manage your muscle strength. This can also be used as a warm-up or as a workout in itself. Isometrics are the precursor to adding any load and challenge to our body.
