Move of the month: Standing heel lifts

This move is great for improving ankle flexibility and strength, working the muscles and tendons that support and stabilise the ankle joint

This month’s move is great for improving ankle flexibility and strength, working the muscles and tendons that support and stabilise the ankle joint. It’s importable to have supple, strong and flexible ankles with the added resistance we put on them in the water, which also prevents us from injuring other joints such as the knees and hips.
