How the Ankle/Shin Isolators work
Machine #1
By stretching and exercising the
muscles of the shin and ankle you will start building a whole new power source that you
probably never knew existed. While wearing a tightly laced pair of athletic shoes, and in
the seated position on a bench, the foot is inserted onto the angled platform of the
machine. The ball of the foot is in contact with the heavy-duty grip surface; the foot is
then strapped down tightly with the adjustable nylon-Velcro-securing member. Weight discs
are added to the machine's vertical post to provide the resistance needed for the workout
(freeweight not supplied). Once the foot is strapped down tightly and the weight disc are
in place, the athlete simply moves the device straightforward away from the body, or moves
the body away from the machine, keeping the machine in one
place. The angle of the machine is designed to deliver the "Super Stretch" to
the shin and ankle as the distance increases between body and machine. From this stretched
position repetitions and isometrics are done by concentrating on lifting the toes. The
shin muscles and ankle are isolated to do the work of the lift. The pivoting point of the
movement is transferred to the machine's axle and non-marking floor grips within a very
tight radius to allow for maximum range of motion in the ankle.
Machine #2
Outside ankle workout
In the seated or standing position this machine is designed to stretch, isolate and work
the ankles from slightly distorted positions. The foot is secured in the same manner as
machine #1. By placing the ball of the foot on the platform and the gripping surface, the
axle pivot is in line with the inside length of the foot. The 2" wide nylon strap is
tightened. The amount of weight is determined and placed on the shaft. While the machine
is kept in one place, the athlete moves laterally away from it while slightly bending the
knees. This movement causes the ankle to be gently stretched in a controlled manner.
The farther away the user moves laterally, the greater the stretch to the ankle, shin and
outside soleus muscle. From this negative position, concentration on the ankle lifts the
machine and weight off the ground to provide the workout, sets of repetitions and
isometrics are done from this position. This resistance directly conditions and
strengthens the outside of the ankle, for quick and sharp cutting angles, on the court or
field.
Inside ankle workout
On the same foot, the isolator is simply reversed so the axle pivot is to the outside, the
machine and weight are to the inside, the foot is strapped down tightly. The legs are
crossed to provide the stretch to the ankle. Concentration on lifting with the ankle is
done while the machine pivots on the axle.
The machines can be used on any floor surface and
comes with non-marking protective bumpers on the floor contact areas. The Sky-King
Ankle/Shin Isolators can withstand any amount of weight you can max. out on.
It is constructed from high quality, low
carbon, 3/16" steel. welded and yellow zinc plated to the highest of standards. If
