The ankle strength exercises featured in this video include:
- *Heel Walks* - 2 sets of 1 minute
- *Toe Walks* - 2 sets of 1 minute
- *Single Leg Alphabet Drill* - 2 sets of A-to-Z each leg
- *Lateral Hop and Hold Drill* - 2 sets of 20 each leg

Let's break-down each of these ankle exercises one by one...

*Heel Walk Drill*
This simple ankle drill focuses on ankle dorsiflexion and strengthens dorsiflexor muscles such as tibialis anterior. If you've recently injured your ankle and had an enforced rest period as your ankle heals, you will need to re-build strength in all the muscles around the ankle joint.

*Toe Walk Drill*
Similar to the heel walk drill, the ankle walk drill focuses on building strength in the calf muscles, the plantar flexors of the ankle joint.

*Single Leg Alphabet Drill*
I love this simple dynamic balance and stability drill. You don't need a balance board or wobble cushion to challenge your ankle stability muscles... in fact, you can perform this simple ankle exercise with no equipment at all. Use the movement of your upper body to create the instability that your ankle stabiliser muscles (like the peroneals for example) have to work hard to control.

*Lateral Hop Drill*
This hopping drill for ankle strength is a more advanced exercise, so only try this one if you're further on in your injury rehab process! The lateral hop drill teaches you to dynamically stabilise your ankle with every landing.
