How do I exercise the tibialis anterior

How do I exercise the tibialis anterior?

The tibialis anterior is a muscle located in the front of the lower leg that is responsible for ankle dorsiflexion (movement of bringing the top of the foot towards the shin). To exercise the tibialis anterior, you can try the following exercises:

Toe raises: Stand with your feet hip-width apart and your weight evenly distributed on both feet. Slowly rise up onto your toes, holding for a few seconds before slowly lowering back down. Repeat for 10-15 repetitions.

Ankle alphabet: Stand with your feet hip-width apart and your weight evenly distributed on both feet. Trace the letters of the alphabet with your toes, using your ankle to move your foot in different directions.

Calf raises: Stand with your feet hip-width apart and your weight evenly distributed on both feet. Slowly rise up onto your toes, holding for a few seconds before slowly lowering back down. Repeat for 10-15 repetitions.

Ankle rotations: Stand with your feet hip-width apart and your weight evenly distributed on both feet. Slowly rotate your foot in a circular motion, using your ankle to move your foot in different directions. Repeat in both directions for 10-15 repetitions.

Remember to warm up properly before exercising and to listen to your body to avoid overdoing it. If you’re experiencing pain or discomfort, stop the exercise and speak with a healthcare provider.
