How Do I Get A Nice Ankle LineI have super tight ankles! is there any way/exercise I could do to help lossen/strengthen them so I can have a nicer ankle line? February 28, 2007 | In Questions | 3 Comments3 Comments »RSS feed for comments on this post. TrackBack URI Leave a comment |

Ankle circles; also foot massage (either yourself or if you can get someone to do it!). Also get a tennis ball, and stand on it, both the ball of the foot and heel; and roll it around the bottom of your foot, that should help loosen up the muscles & tendons on the bottom of your foot.

Try writing the alphabet A-E only in both lower/upper case.
) also check for sickling feet
)
Tendu, Tendu, Tendu x a million but make sure that you make full use of the floor and the metatarsals. (don’t forget to concentrate on turnout also. rond de jambe is also a good concentration exercise for turnout
Therabands are also a wonderful tool as is picking up marbles with the toes, rolling a tennis ball under the foot, massage as previously mentioned. walking along the beach in sand (this is also good for shin splints) hope this is of some help
Please feel free to ask if you are wanting further exercies – I have 1000′s
