Dumbbell Shin Curl
DUMBBELL SHIN CURL
The dumbbell shin curl is a strengthening exercise for the ankle dorsiflexors. Start by sitting on a bench with your foot hanging off the edge of it. Strap a dumbbell to the bottom of your foot by using a Velcro dumbbell foot strap. Slowly allow the weight to pull your foot down into plantar flexion and raise the weight by dorsiflexing the foot (toes towards the shins).
