Instructions
1. Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart and your arms bent comfortably at your sides or in a guard position in front of your chest.
2. Begin by shifting your weight onto your right foot, then lift your left foot slightly off the ground.
3. Swiftly bring your left foot across your body and gently tap your right heel with your left heel.
4. Quickly return the left foot to the starting position, shifting weight onto it as you lift the right foot.
5. Now bring your right foot across your body to gently tap your left heel with your right heel.
6. Alternate this heel-to-heel tapping motion at a brisk pace, maintaining a slight bend in the supporting leg for balance and stability.
7. Continue the movement back and forth for the desired amount of time or repetitions, keeping the motion controlled and agile.
Tips: Keep your torso upright and engage your core throughout the exercise for balance. Start slowly to get a feel for the movement and to ensure proper form, then increase your speed as you become more comfortable. Focus on light taps to maintain agility and minimize the impact on your joints. This exercise can be incorporated into warm-up routines or high-intensity interval training (HIIT) for added cardiovascular benefits.
