Weak ankles might be one of the reasons why you are struggling with Kudittu mettu/Yegaru mettu and Yegaru tattu/Kuttadavu. Working on foot strength will help improve your natural elasticity and agility. They also stabilize the feet and thus help to prevent the arches from tilting in towards the ground or the ankles to roll outward.
These exercises target and strengthen the foot stabilizer muscles, particularly the muscles that maintain and support your foot’s arch. The stronger your ankles, the better will be your Kudittu mettu/Yegaru mettu and Yegaru tattu/Kuttadavu. Hope you find these exercises useful.

Surprisingly, for the first time, I tried doing all the exercises and I succeeded in doing all except two. Ofcourse not for 40 seconds. !! Anyway, good exercises to improve our leg muscles. Ha...I liked the exercise in which objects are kept in three directions and picking them up. Very nice. !! 👌👌👌🙏🙏🙏

Oh my.... you make me dance and sweat every week !!! Just when I thought this one is about dancing and not meant for me.... No !!! This is helpful for everyone. Knee rotation is for start, Kudittu Shuffle... Even me trying that 😁 !!! Plie Squat with Heel raise had my thighs temble, Single ankle hops made me jump... rememberd jubli game when we wire children, Heal raise in aramandi I can really feel the inner thigh muscles strain, I let go of Single ankle roll to toes and ankle roll to squat. ( I have made a conscious decision few years back that I shall not bend the knees to extreme position to avoid injury at my age), Single leg object drop made me dance. Ankle alphabet is fun. Ah... Smile... It increases your face value 😊😊😊

Thanks again for trying these out! Very very good decision in not over straining the knees.. It is very important to respect the body. There are many things which our body can currently do. Smartness lies in not doing it keeping in mind the future consequences :)

Thank you. Have noted your suggestion :) More often that not there will not be a 1:1 mapping between an adavu and an exercise. It is the whole routine which helps you get fitter and stronger to perform particular adavu/item. Also in this video, as the name suggests, it definitely helps with kuditu mettu/kudittu tattu.

U cleared them and wen I asked a very imp question abt the knee pain and that my Dr advised to rest but doing ur exercises its nt increasing, so it must be okay to continue, u left out cold. If it's cos u wer busy it's OK. But if it's cos I've been asking too many questions it's very bad. Cos I follow u thats y so many doubts. And I do have some experience in working out so I'll have more doubts. Anyway I'm still doing ur exercises but u disappointed me greatly. Sorry to say this.

Hi Shona! I didn't understand what you meant by "I left out cold". If your doctor has advised you not to exercise, it is better you listen to him because he definitely knows about your condition better than me. I do not know which comment you are talking about. I did not mean to offend anyone, in case it offended you :) Doubts are always welcome. I try to give a solution to the best of my knowledge. I don't advice when it is not my field of expertise.
