Performing tibialis raises with toes flexed up can strengthen muscles that act as a defense against foot, ankle, shin, and knee pain.

“Now he's gonna flex the toes up. You're gonna do 25 reps, because go down. Notice, even if you burnt out at 15 reps, well, you could pause, take a few seconds, and keep going. Now we're working good. All the way down each rep, hold it. Now we're working a muscle that starts here under the knee. It actually wraps around to the inside of the foot. So this is like your body's first line of defense against foot, ankle, shin, knee pain.”
