Was having a lot of fun kicking the heavy bag the other day, but overdid it & sprained my ankle with a very hard round kick to stop a pretty big bag swing.
I made contact with my lower shin but must have done a little tendon damage to make my ankle swell. Working my way up to chopping down trees in the woods like Ong Bak 😂
Has been awhile since I sprained an ankle but will be good as new in no time. The key is to have a strong flexible ankle before you injure it, & keep mobility & strength after injury. So I’ve been doing range of motion exercises (spell the alphabet type things) since the injury & took a nice walk over varied terrain today & icing after.
My ankle stays strong & flexible thanks to about four days a week of yoga, & I will be back at that & light weight lifting tomorrow. All of these activities will push a lot of fresh blood in to the tissues of the joint & help clean out the inflammation. Have to be careful with this ankle for a bit, but it is all about making it stronger than before so I can keep having fun like Jean Claude Van Damme
Luckily, I have some purple medicine to help ease my struggles 😉
Smoke em if you got em, 4 JCVD !
