How to do a ankle pump

  1. Sit tall with both feet flat on the floor.
  2. Keep the heel down and lift the toes toward the shin.
  3. Lower the toes, then press the heel up onto the ball of the foot.
  4. Alternate slowly through the full ankle range.

Form tips

  • Move through the full range in both directions.
  • Great for circulation during long sitting periods.
  • Keep the movement smooth and unhurried.
