- Ankles give you the extra kick when pushing off from ground. A good for strengthening the ankles: one-legged jumping.
- Knees: Do half-squats holding a 5kg dumbbell in each hand at your sides. Bend your knees 45 degrees, then rise, repeat. Do 3 sets of 10 reps 3 times a week.
- Hips Lunge back with the left leg so right knee is aligned over ankle. Lower left knee is aligned over ankle. Lower left knee to the ground and squeeze the left side of your glutes as you shift hips forward slightly; change sides.
