6 leg activation exercises to jumpstart your daily workout
Live MintConsistency is the first demand of any fitness journey. The first one's again from Anthony Green, who recommends the following exercise for ankle and knee activation. He gets into a half lunge with the weight on the front leg, and does raises, to strengthen the ankle as well as ready the knee for the next exercise. Watch the demo by Coach Green here: https://www.instagram.com/p/CzwABqANEog/ Once you've got through that, there are many more activations you can use to wake the knee up, including walking backwards and the quarter pistol squat hold with the standing leg on a slightly higher surface, which could be a plate, the edge of a treadmill, or a box. You can pair this with ITB raises before moving the top leg to the front and raising the lower leg as shown in the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhwT35sshrI 5.
