Fast feet – how to do it right
Slight squat, quick little steps on the balls of your feet.
This is how Stickfreed, our glowing stick figure, shows you the exercise on your TV – here the start, middle and end position. In the app he turns slowly so you can see everything.
How to do it
- Feet hip-width, slight squat, lean forward a little.
- Tap very fast on the balls of your feet, barely lifting.
- Pump your arms like running.
- Quieter: tap slower without hopping.
How long?
In BLOX: 30 seconds on, 10 seconds rest, three rounds.
If something niggles
Kids asleep or neighbours below? Knee niggling? Then do Marching in place instead – BLOX swaps it automatically if you mention it at the start. Stop if it hurts; if you have complaints or pre-existing conditions, check with a doctor or physio first.
