The tibialis anterior is a muscle in the front part of the lower leg. It helps keep the foot in the right position when running, jumping, or hopping. It also helps the lower leg move well. This muscle makes sure the foot goes up and down and turns in the right way. It works during the first part of walking and running when the heel hits the ground and when the foot pushes off. It helps the foot lift off the ground and not slap down. If this muscle is not there, it is hard to do physical activities.
Is is essential to train the tibialis anterior. You can achieve this through body weight exercises or weight training. The Tibialis Raise Bar, or Tib Bar for short, is a great addition to your leg workout routine.
