Tibialis Anterior Muscle: How To Work It Out & Exercise It!

The Tibialis Anterior is a muscle on your lower leg. It is located on the outer part of your shin bone. It starts from the top of your shin where it travels down and attaches to your foot. When flexing the Tibialis Anterior, it does ankle dorsiflexion as well as ankle inversion.

This muscle is great to workout for two reasons. One is that if you work it out, you will get bigger calves. Also, this muscle is very important to walk properly. Because it lifts up the foot, activation of this muscle is needed to clear the foot off the ground when walking. Having a strong Tibialis Anterior plays a major role in fall prevention.

One leg exercise you can do to workout the Tibialis Anterior is to sit on the floor with your leg straight and wrap a cable around your foot. You can then bring your foot towards you and in.

A second leg exercise for the Tibialis Anterior is to sit off a bench holding a dumbbell in between your feet. What you can then do is ankle dorsiflexion where you bring your feet up towards you and lift the dumbbell up and down. This will workout the Tibialis Anterior on both of your legs.

Be sure to also stretch your calves, as tight calves can limit the motion of the Tibialis Anterior. Stretching your calves will not only allow you to get more range of motion when bringing your ankle up towards you, but it will also play an important role in fall prevention too.
