How should I do a single-leg stance to strengthen my ankles?

Here's how to do a single leg stance to strengthen ankles:

Reps: 1 per leg
Sets: 1-3
Intensity: Moderate to hard
Hold: 60 seconds
Rest: 30-90 seconds between sets

Starting position: Stand up straight with your feet hip-width apart.

Movement: Lift your right foot a few inches off the floor, bending your knee slightly, and balancing on your left leg. Hold for 60 seconds, then lower your foot to the starting position. Repeat with your left leg. This completes one set.

Tips and techniques:

• Maintain neutral posture with your shoulders down and back.
• Tighten the muscles around your hips and buttocks for stability.
• Keep your abdominal muscles contracted.

Too hard? Hold on to a chair or counter for support, or perform for less than 60 seconds.

Too easy? Stand on a soft mat to make it more difficult to balance.
