Episode 28: Muscles o' the Leg and Foot
04/26/19 • 26 min
Episode 28 is the finale for season 2. In this episode, you will learn the muscles in your leg---that region between the knee and ankle---as well as the muscles of the foot. We will talk about the muscles by compartment, starting with anterior, and then working our way to lateral and then posterior compartments.
Right now, if you pull your foot toward your shin, you are working a muscle in your anterior compartment called the tibialis anterior. You can raise yourself up toward the ceiling in a calf raise, and you are calling on gastrocnemius and soleus to perform that action. Dive right into the episode, and you will learn many more muscles.
Enjoy number 28!
