Exercise Overview

The dumbbell peroneal curl exercise is used to strengthen the ankle everters. Start by strapping a dumbbell to the bottom of your foot using a Dumbbell Foot Strap. Lie sideways on a bench so that your inner shin is supported by the edge of the bench (ankle and foot are suspended). Evert the foot by raising the outer edge of it towards the ceiling. Then lower the weight into inversion by allowing the weight to slowly pull the foot towards the ground.
