The stance you described is similar to the one I was thinking of, slightly squatting, feet pointing forwards but pointing your knees out as far away from each other as you can because it strengthens muscles along the inside of your leg and also your ankles (because of the strange foot-forward knees out thing)
Oh, in that case, then do the yoga Cheesy

Nope, I know my anatomy well enough to use the terms for what I'm referring to Wink

I heard there isn't much to do about the wrists, but in case any of you knew anything that might work, I posted here.

No problemo, glad to be of assistance.   8-)

I dunno about this topic too much...but I think a really solid (pretty hard to indent) stress reliever ball can help that...there's also some weight sets that use this little clamp that you squeeze to loosen, then let go to let it constrict again, and that keeps the weights in place...

As far as I know, they sell both at Sports Authority...and as for the spring clamp thingy...they are called forearm strengtheners I think....(I think you said that's not what you're looking for though...) and you can increase/decrease resistance on some of them...

Just trying to be of help...it's the least I can do ^_^

Any food I could eat that would be supplemental?

No. Just a regular in take of calicum and iron.
And do not go for the herbal remedies/suppliments that claim to strengthen joints and bones -they are usually useless.
If so wished, I's could go through my's journals and manuals to see what Grandfather recommend.
As for you exercises: replace the pole with a short iron bar and do the same.

To Kulli: For your condition, Horse Riding Stancing is useless, puts too much pressure on the ankles and weakens them further.
Unfortunately, there is practially nothing you can do about your condition. You are better off stretching and strengthen the tendons in your shins and ankles to prevent collapse. Also, by a pair of ankles supports/bracers for when you start to work out.
The worst thing about ankles is that if they are broken once they never recover and are oft to break again and again.
Best of luck to thee.

Peace

Yes, I learnt that the hard way. My right ankle is knackered, pretty much, I've broken it at least five times.

I used to wonder about wrist strength, but I think it comes along with training over time. I do lots of forearm work (hammer curls, wrist curls). In fact, I used to complain about my wimpy wrists, but I don't anymore because they have caught up. Give it time...I've personally seen a dramatic increase over the course of 2 years.

Then, dear Kulli, all you can do is buy a brace for your ankles and practice extreme caution. Also, avoid wearing sneakers and like shoes. Go for study boot styles that brace and support your ankles, keeping them in place and preventing them from rolling.
Best of luck to ye.

Yeah I do that. I prefer wearing my Doc Martens and my New Rocks than my Vans... I've always been pretty on-edge about my ankles, they're terrible ._.
