KETTLEBELL TOE RAISES

This is a strengthening exercise for the ankle dorsiflexors. Start by taking a seat on a chair or bench stacking yoga blocks or weight plates to about 1 feet tall. Place your heel on the elevated surface and place your forefoot through the loop of a kettlebell handle. Keep the heels planted and raise the forefoot up to raise the kettlebell up. Hold this top position for 2-5 seconds. Slowly lower the forefoot back down to lower the weight and complete a repetition.
