How to Do the Ankle Circles
- 1Use a sturdy object like a squat rack to hold yourself.
- 2Lift the right leg in the air (just around 2 inches from the floor) and perform a circular motion with the big toe. Pretend that you are drawing a big circle with it. Tip: One circle equals 1 repetition. Breathe normally as you perform the movement.
- 3When you are done with the right foot, then repeat with the left leg.
