Instructions

1. Attach the ankle strap to the low pulley of a cable machine and adjust the weight appropriate to your fitness level.

2. Sit on the floor or a bench near the cable machine with your legs extended forward.

3. Secure the ankle strap around one of your ankles and position your body so that the cable is slightly taut when your foot is in a neutral position.

4. Stabilize yourself by holding onto the sides of the bench or the cable machine.

5. Gradually invert your foot (turn your foot inwards) by contracting the muscles on the inside of your lower leg.

6. Complete the movement until you have reached a comfortable range of motion, making sure not to force your foot beyond what is comfortable.

7. Slowly return your foot back to the starting position to complete one repetition.

8. Perform the desired number of repetitions and sets on one foot before switching to the other foot.

Make sure to perform the exercise in a controlled manner, avoiding any jerky movements. The resistance provided by the weight should be sufficient to challenge the muscles but not so heavy as to compromise your form or cause injury.
