JoshDunn · 03-17-2008, 04:38 AM

My ankles have been getting sore from the impact of the back foot returning to ground during steps ups.

I tried landing on the balls of my foot then rolling back unto my heel. That helped but not as much as I'd like.

The gym already has rubber flooring but its still hard.

Anyone experienced anything similar and if so any ideas on reducing the impact?
