An ankle and hip exercising apparatus for exercising the ankle and hip using dorsi ankle flexion, plantar ankle flexion, ankle rotation, and hip rotation. The user may use unidirectional resistance for strength and range of motion development, or bidirectional resistance to develop proprioception. The foot is held in place by an overshoe having a sole with divots, mating with a shaft having a rounded top. Resistance is provided by elastomeric resistance members such as surgical tubing. The ankle exerciser's base board includes angle measurement indicia to provide feedback for range of motion improvement. A unique combination disc and hemispherical ball support is used to distribute weight which produces stress about the ankle in various areas of the foot. The device may be used while sitting or standing, depending on the type of exercise desired.
