  • sorry I have a question. I play rugby and i would like to know how many times do you suppose to do this exercises and how many sets, reps, etc. It doesn't matter the time that it may take, thanks a lot

  • @wofestain1994 HI! Sorry, just now found your comment. I recommend doing theses once or twice a week. To begin with (if you're new to fitness) I'd do one set of 8-10 reps. Then progress to 2 or three sets of 10-12 reps. Another approach is to just take one or two of the exercises and throw them into your regular lower-body workout.

  • @RunnerDudesBlog What strength on the rubber band? hard or easy?

  • @leafblowinSK8

    I'd start with a light to medium band first. At Target and WalMart you can find a pack of three (light, medium, and heavy) for about $10.

  • @RunnerDudesBlog Hey thanks for the tip, but i dont live in the US, i think im gonna go with a light band its about 15$ but thats fine, and i can upgrade when i get stronger:)

    Ps. thanks again for the quick response;)

    pps. do you know any good excersises for stabelazing and strengthning your back, and strengthen your knees?

  • I've been having outer ankle problems after running. I just came across your video, and will be doing the exercises! Your video is great -- simple directions and very helpful! Thanks! keep up the great work!

  • @safeer221287 @BobMourad It will incorporate a lot of other lower leg muscles, expecially the little stabilizer muscles. Single leg body weight stading calf raises are really effective in strengthening the calves. So are body weight calf raises (on both legs) doing 15 reps of a neutral position (toes pointing forward), 15 reps toes pointing inward (working the outer calves), and 15 reps with toes pointing outward (working the inner calves). Hope this helps!

  • need this for double bass drumming!

  • Great video. Thankyou.
