20–30 minutes max: walking, stretching, or foam rolling. Or complete rest if your body needs it. Evening: 10–15 minutes of ankle mobility and strengthening — slow, low-impact, no jumping: - Ankle circles — 10 each way, each foot, slow and controlled - Alphabet tracing — trace A–Z in the air with each foot, big and slow - Calf stretch, wall hold — 30 seconds each side, hold it, don't bounce - Heel raises, slow — 10 reps, up slow, down slower, hold 2 seconds at the top - Toe raises — 10 reps, lift your toes toward your shins, hold 2 seconds - Single-leg balance hold — 20–30 seconds each side, hold a chair if you need it, that's still the work That's it. Keep it gentle, skip anything that pinches, and show up again tomorrow.
