How do i work out the feet muscles?

Question

i heard from an old trainer of mine that working out the feet muscles can help increase my verticle jump and help me have a bouncier and faster jump...what are some basic foot work outs does any one have any idea?

Answer 1

join yoga ,

honestly all they talk about is stretching / working out your feet because it makes your neck and wrists more relaxed.

what they taught me so far in yoga ...

get on your knees , and lean back and sit down on the lower part of your legs, curl your toes under you so you stretch them.

rotate your ankle to the right 10 times , then to the left 10 times

other things to increase your vertical...

SQUATS , i swear by them ! but the first week you start doing them daily , your thighs will kiiiiilll , you cant walk down stairs without it aching , but it WORKS.

and if you stretch you're quads (upper part of your thigh) everyday for a minute, it will add 3 inches to your vertical, but it'll take about a month.

JUMP ROPE, easiest as ever , jump extremely fast 200 times everyday (its really not a lot) and you'll be so used to jumping, hitting the floor and springing up again that your instint when you jump will be to spring right up , and its good cardio.

good luck :)

Answer 2

To work out your feet muscles you should rotate your feet, do yoga or some kind of thing like that, and massage them everyday.

Answer 3

We actually did a foot/ankle workout everyday before volleyball practice in high school.  From a standing position without shoes on

1. push up onto your toes 50 times,

2. raises your toes  while keeping the heel on the ground 50 times.

3.  Roll your foot inside to outside  (big toe to little toe) while you push up onto your toe. Do that 50 times.

4.  Roll your foot outside to inside (little toe to big toe) while pushing up 50 times.

5.  Jump on each foot forwards and backwards 10 times, then go side to side 10 times.  

And as you get better you can make it harder by doing the calf raises and rolls on one foot.

stretch and massage, shake and  rotate
