Assault bike is a great tool to use for HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) which increases maximum oxygen uptake (Vo2max), increases whole body fat oxdiation, increases muscle mitochondria which in a result can improve mortality and keep your 💜 healthy! Why not give it a try for few weeks and see results for yourself? Alternate both high intensity (all out) bouts and low intenisty (recovery) with a work:rest ratio starting off with 1:4 for unfit population working up to 1:2 and 1:1 for fitness/athletic population!💪

Ankle Mobility Drill Part 6! Simple and effective way to regain some mobility in both actions of the ankle ie. Plantarflexion and Dorsiflexion (Toes down and Toes up), this drill can be done anywhere at anytime whether at home or in a shopping queue 🔴Protocol for a drill 🔸Stand or sit with one foot in the air 🔸Alternate touching the ground with the heel and toes 🔸Repeat 30 times on each leg

Ankle Mobility Drill part 5! This drill is used to train the prioprioceptive sense in the ankle which is an overall sense of body position and movement, ankle is what "links" us with the ground so its very important to know what position our ankles and the whole body are in! 🔴Protocol for the drill: 🔸Stand on a wobble cushion or a wobble board 🔸Try to keep balance on one leg 🔸Progress by adding movement with another leg

Ankle Mobility Drill Part 4! Calf trigger point release, Using a trigger point massage ball can help release the muscle tension in the calves and the fascia surrounding the muscles resulting in possible increased ankle mobility (if the muscle tightness is the reason for poor ankle movement) 🔴Protocol for this drill: 🔸Place the ball under the calve 🔸Roll up and down on the muscle looking for any tight spots (these should feel hard and painful) 🔸Roll 10 - 20 times 🔸When found, put pressure on it and move the foot around 🔸Roll up and down the muscles again 🔸Retest the ankle dorsiflexion and check for any improvement
