Strong, stable feet and ankles are essential for everything from walking and running to maintaining your balance and preventing injuries. One simple yet effective way to build strength in this area is with calf raises.

This easy exercise targets your calf muscles, helps improve ankle stability, and supports overall lower-body function. To get started, stand tall with your feet hip-width apart. Slowly raise your heels off the ground, coming up onto your toes, then lower back down with control. 

Looking for a challenge? Try performing calf raises on one leg at a time. This not only increases the difficulty but also engages your core and improves balance.

Whether you're recovering from an injury, training for a sport, or just looking to feel more stable on your feet, adding calf raises to your routine is a smart move. Your ankles will thank you!
