Ankle strengthening with resisted plantar flexion

Sit on the floor with your leg out straight. Place an exercise band around the ball of your foot, hold on to it with both hands, and push away creating resistance in the band. This exercise will help strengthen the calf muscle, and other muscles around the lower leg and ankle. It will also help improve circulation to your lower leg.
