  1. 1The muscles on the outside of your shin and ankle working
  2. 2A slow, controlled turn of the foot outward
  3. 3Your lower leg staying still while only the ankle moves

Common mistakes

  • Rotating the whole leg instead of just the ankle
  • Snapping the foot back against the band
  • Using a band so heavy you lose control
