How to Prepare Your Ankles for Hiking

Our ankles need to be well protected for hiking as they are constantly under pressure and movement. Here are our top tips on how to get them well TrekPrepped:

Boots

Ensure you have a well-fitting, worn in pair of boots that have good support if you need it.

Skipping

Skipping exercises on a daily basis help with the elasticity of the Achilles tendon.

Calf Raises

Single leg calf raises help to build up the calf muscles and in turn protect the ankles.

Knee & Hip Stability

Creating knee and hip stability will prevent a knock-on effect. If one part isn't working correctly or efficiently another will compensate and the effects could be disastrous!
