Ankle eversions are a strengthening movement where you turn the sole of your foot outward, away from your body's midline. The motion is driven by the peroneal muscles, peroneus longus and peroneus brevis, which run down the outside of your lower leg and act as a key defense against rolling your ankle inward. Sit or lie with your leg extended and rotate the foot outward in a controlled arc, keeping your lower leg still so the work isolates the ankle. For added resistance, loop a band around your forefoot and anchor it toward your other foot. Move slowly through the full range and resist on the way back rather than letting the foot snap inward. Strengthening these muscles is especially valuable if you have a history of ankle sprains, since strong everters help stabilize the joint on uneven ground.
