25 min FRC w/ Alan: ankle plantar flexion

•
25m
Plantar flexion is your body's gas pedal: this action drives force into the ground to push us forward or lift us up. The big muscles on the back of the calves are powerhouses of movement, but we tend to lose the end ranges unless we use them regularly. This is a short class in which we work both legs at the same time. You will need a blanket and a block.
Common compensations will be limited if you're working the deeper base but if you have the hips more forward, try to avoid bending at the knee
