Spring Ankle High Heel

Coaching Points: 

• This exercise incorporates 3 Way Foot Position Integration for Athletes Posterior Chain Series
• Push foot down and drive knee into the pad: Emphasize the downward force of the foot and the driving action of the knee. This helps activate the muscles in the leg and hip, promoting stability and strength.
• Maintain a high heel: Encourage participants to keep their heel elevated throughout the exercise. This position engages the muscles of the posterior chain, such as the glutes and hamstrings, while promoting proper alignment and balance.
• Switch foot position each time: Instruct participants to change their foot position after each repetition. This variation challenges different muscle groups and enhances overall lower body strength and coordination.

• • Internal rotation: For this foot position, ask participants to turn their toes inward slightly. This targets the muscles of the inner thigh (adductors) and emphasizes the medial aspect of the lower body.
  • Neutral position: Instruct participants to align their feet parallel to each other. This foot position engages the major muscle groups in a balanced manner and serves as a baseline for comparison with the other positions.
  • External rotation: Have participants turn their toes outward for this foot position. This targets the muscles of the outer thigh (abductors) and emphasizes the lateral aspect of the lower body.
