Resistance-Band Seated Foot Eversion

Resistance Band Seated Eversion (Foot Calves)

Starting Position:
1. Sit on a sturdy chair with your back upright and feet flat on the floor.
2. Take a resistance band and secure one end to the floor or a stable surface, ensuring it won’t move.
3. Loop the other end around the top of your foot (the foot you want to train), keeping your leg straight out in front of you.

Movement Instructions:
1. Keep your knee bent at a 90-degree angle and your foot positioned directly in front of your leg.
2. With your foot in place, pull your toes outward away from the midline of your body. This is the eversive movement you want to achieve.
3. Focus on using the muscles in your lower leg to control the movement.
4. Slowly return your foot to the starting position, ensuring you maintain control throughout the motion.
5. Repeat this movement for the desired number of repetitions (typically 10-15 reps for 2-3 sets).

Tips:
- Make sure to keep your ankle stable and avoid excessive movement in your knee.
- Move slowly to maintain proper form and control the resistance of the band.
- If you're new, start with a light resistance band and increase the resistance as you strengthen your muscles.
