Do you have trouble getting deep into a squat? Do you have stubborn ankle pain or stiffness that doesn't seem to improve despite trying many different exercises? Try out these ankle strengthening exercises that will build strength in your ankles and lower legs. In this video, Maks demonstrates an often overlooked first step when it comes to rebuilding your ankle mobility and strength. He explains how to train your foot and ankle muscles so that you can get a deeper squat. Oftentimes, having trouble with deep squats and good hip mobility is a result of poor ankle mobility. By training the foot and ankle into deeper dorsiflexion, you allow the hips to achieve more range of motion. If the ankles are too weak and stiff, you can't get the knees to go forward enough, and that locks the hips into a reduced range of motion.
