[Intro / Hook]
Hey—before you scroll to the next video, let me show you a quick exercise you can do for your foot and ankle.

[Exercise 1: Wall Calf & Ankle Stretch]
First, put your foot up against the wall.
Keep your knee straight and line your toes up with your shin.
From there, gently lean forward and stretch.

You should feel that tight stretch—hold it for a moment.
Then relax and come back down.

[Exercise 2: Bent-Knee Ankle Mobility Stretch]
Next, stand with your foot flat on the ground and your heel staying down.
Use the wall for balance.

Slowly bend your knee forward over the top of your foot.
Go all the way forward as far as you comfortably can.
