Lazy Person Sitting Ankle Slimming Action: Two Weeks to Eliminate Ankle Swelling and Thin Ankles, Calf Muscles Also Become Slimmer
Many times, the calves may be thin, but the ankles remain thick, not only short tendons, but also the ankle bones are not obvious. In fact, ankles can become thick. Besides swelling, it's also related to incorrect foot strike. Take a look at the three actions to slim the ankles, which can be practiced at home to make the ankles thinner.
Slim Ankle Exercise 1: Eliminate Ankle Swelling
Suggested exercise volume: 20 seconds per group, two sets each
First, sit down and slightly raise your legs to leave the ground. Align both feet at the ankle, then raise the sole up and down, alternating between them. This action not only eliminates ankle swelling but also has a stretching effect on the calf muscle.
Moreover, this action is also a good habit to quit curling your feet. You can do it anytime, anywhere, even during watching TV, working, or attending classes. It's not picky about the occasion and time, and it can also help slim the ankles.
Slim Ankle Exercise 2: Relax the Foot Bottom
Suggested exercise volume: 30 seconds per group, two sets each
First, prepare an empty bottle, with a diameter not too large, about 5cm. Because you need to step on and massage, any empty bottle can be used.
Then, slide on the sole and step on it to massage. It can relax the muscles at the bottom of the foot. Some people with plantar fasciitis also recommend massaging the foot bottom in this way to relax the plantar fascia appropriately.
If you want to increase the effect, you can also use a textured massage ball. When sliding and massaging, if you feel particularly sore at any specific area, you can strengthen it and thoroughly relax the foot bottom.
Slim Ankle Exercise 3: Rebuild Correct Foot Strike
30 seconds per group, two sets each
Incorrect strike will put excessive pressure on the foot bottom and ankle. It's important to rebuild correct foot strike. The method is very simple! Same as sitting posture, then grab the foot sole, then relax, then grab and relax.
Not sure how to grab? You can also place a towel on the ground, imagine using your foot to grab the towel, that's the feeling. This grab-and-relax action can help the foot bottom strike correctly, preventing the ankle from receiving more pressure.
