Description: Sit on a chair, place a resistance band around your foot, anchored in front of you. Slowly bring your foot towards you by dorsiflexing the ankle, then return to the starting position in a controlled manner.

Tips: Keep your back straight and avoid moving the entire leg; focus on ankle movement. Control the return phase to maximize strengthening.
