Thanks for the question Rasby. If the jumping exercises are bothering you I wouldn’t recommend a modified version of the same ones. I would instead recommend that you perform other exercises that would strengthen your ankle to the point where you can begin to do the jumping exercises.

I’ll post some of those exercises to my blog in the near future.

To make some of the exercises lower impact on the ankles there is a nifty piece of equipment called the Valslide. I did a post about it and demonstration on my blog here Home Office Fitness Equipment

Scott,

These workouts are amazing! As a long time dancer (flatfooting and clogging, ballroom, cajun, and contra dancing), some of these are part of my regular routine, but others are new ideas for me.

I have a question. About four years ago, I tore three ligaments in my ankle and had a frozen shoulder at the same time (the dangers of trying to teach a very awkward someone who was much bigger than me to dance). Through much physical therapy and my regular dance exercises, I have regained most movement, but am still having a lot of trouble when I try to do any of the jumping exercises. Either I feel a lot of pain or my ankle sort of “gives out.” Do you know of any ways to modify the jumps so I can gradually build up to the point where I could do them again?

Thanks again for your great instructions.

Rasby

I can’t wait to be active with all the NAMS attendees. We’ll make use of the gym, but as you can see, many of these exercises can be done anywhere.

I’ll be packing my stability ball and bringing a pump.

Thanks Kristy. It really is easy to make fitness a part of your workday. I treat it as a busy task and not so much as a leisure activity.

As easy as it is, the toughest part is just to take that first step and give it a try. Overcome the mental barriers that have been preventing you from doing it in the past, and in the words of Nike… “Just Do It”.

I do have mornings where I don’t feel like exercising and I’d rather stay in bed… but I know how awesome I’m going to feel afterward and I know how it will impact my business and life.

There’s a gym on the lower floor of the hotel we use for the NAMS event. I’ve never actually seen it, but I’ve heard it’s down there (lol). Look forward to checking it out – finally – on my 3rd trip this January!

Sitting on my stability ball, still loving it!, and off to watch the video. Thanks, Scott

You really put into perspective how easy it is to get a workout completed in a short time and small space. These remind me of my son’s football conditioning drills. Thanks for this video and post!!
