This lesson video teaches Seated Ankle CARs - a drill to build slow, controlled ankle movement through dorsiflexion, plantarflexion, inversion, and eversion. The aim is to create a smooth, fluid circular motion at the end of your available range so you develop real foot and ankle control, not just “wiggling around.” A key focus in this lesson is eliminating tibial rotation (the shin twisting to cheat range), so the ankle and foot do the work. Done consistently, this supports better squats, running mechanics, balance, and lower-limb resilience.
