HEEL RAISE AROUND THE WORLDS

This exercise aims to strengthen the muscles of the foot as well as improve proprioception and balance. Raise the heel just 1 inch off the floor to engage the intrinsic muscles of the foot, raising any higher will instead engage the calf muscles so be sure to not lift the heel too high. Balance on one leg with a soft bend in the knee and circulate a kettlebell around the knee to destabilize your balance.
