Tibialis muscles may not be one of the most popular muscles that are talked about in fitness; however, they play a significant role in movement and balance. These muscles are located on the front of the lower leg, and they help to lift the toes upwards and control the ankle’s movement. Many people may not even realize it, but these muscles are used daily when walking, running, dancing, or even standing.

It is essential to build and exercise your tibialis muscles, not just for sports professionals, but for everyone. Strong tibialis muscles improve activities such as walking, balance, and the ability to participate in specific activities. Below are some exercises that can help you get started with building and strengthening your tibialis muscles.

1. Ankle Inversion and Eversion

Ankle inversion and eversion exercises are a great way to work out the tibialis muscles. To perform this, you can sit on a bench or a comfortable chair with your feet flat on the floor. Place your right foot on the floor, and raise your left foot up higher than the right. Slowly turn your left foot away from the right foot so that it is pointed outwards (this is eversion). Next, rotate your foot inward, so the sole of the foot is facing the right foot (this is inversion). Repeat this exercise for each foot at least 10 – 15 times for about three sets.

2. Resistance Band Exercises

Resistance band exercises are another great way to work out your tibialis muscles. You can either use a resistance band or a loop band that fits comfortably around the ankles. Start by sitting down and wrapping a resistance band around your ankles at the base of your feet. Next, while keeping your foot in place, turn your ankle inward against the resistance band, then return to the starting position. Repeat this exercise on both your left and right leg for around 10 – 15 times for about three sets.

3. Toe Pointing

This exercise is straightforward and can be done in any location, including when sitting or standing. Begin by sitting down on a chair or standing tall. Slowly lift your toes, and point them upwards as if trying to touch them to your shins. Hold for a couple of seconds before lowering the toes down to the floor. Repeat this movement around 10 – 15 times for three sets.

4. Heel Walks

This workout strengthens the lower legs, including the tibialis muscles, and it is a simple exercise to incorporate into your daily routine. It involves walking on your heels instead of your toes as you would typically do. Stand tall and begin by lifting your toes up towards the ceiling, then take a few small steps forward on your heels, maintaining your balance. Repeat this process for around 30 seconds, rest and repeat for three sets.

In conclusion, exercising your tibialis muscles is essential to maintain proper balance and function during daily activities. The above exercises are easy to do and can be accomplished without a lot of equipment. Add these exercises to your fitness routine, and you will be surprised at how much of a difference they can make in your overall strength, posture, and balance. Remember to listen to your body, and if you start feeling any pain, stop immediately and seek medical advice.
