Equipment

Resistance Band

Technique

Sit on the floor with legs straight and anchor a band to a post or heavy object in front of you.
Loop the band over the top of your forefoot and sit far enough back that there is tension.
Pull your toes up toward your shin as far as possible, pause, then let the foot return slowly. Finish the set, then switch feet.

Cues

Keep the leg still and move only at the ankle.
Control the return so the band does not snap your foot down.

Common mistakes

Bending the knee to help the movement.
Using a band so strong that the range shrinks.
Letting the foot drift sideways.
