Well, depends on your technique honestly. For slower speeds you generally use more of your foot and your entire leg even, depending. As you increase you use more of your ankles and isolate your movement so that your bouncing the pedal back in a way. Some people also use the hip-flexor muscles for flat-foot technique and the like..
Try using more ankle movement and isolating your ankle from your leg, and that should help. Start slow, metronome and work your way up. Lead with right, than left, than both..And just keep practicing.
