Step-by-Step Guide

Set up

  • The fast feet are the feet inside, the burst out, the in-out rhythm, and the third landing.
  1. A man standing on an indoor floor with both feet inside two painted parallel lines, knees flexed, weight forward on the balls of his feet.

    Step 1 of 5

    Stand with both feet between two parallel lines on the floor. Soften your knees and lean slightly forward.

  2. A man on an indoor floor with both feet landed wide outside the painted lines, knees bent, weight low and forward.

    Step 2 of 5

    Snap both feet out to the sides of the lines. Land with your knees bent.

  3. A man on an indoor floor mid-burst, his feet blurring back inside the tramlines between outward snaps, knees pumping.

    Step 3 of 5

    Move your feet back inside the lines and out again. Keep a fast, steady rhythm.

  4. A man on an indoor floor landed inside the tramlines for the third time, knees bent, chest tall, still on the balls of his feet.

    Step 4 of 5

    Land the third return inside the lines. Keep your knees bent and your chest tall.

  5. A man standing on an indoor floor with both feet inside two painted parallel lines, knees flexed, weight forward on the balls of his feet.

    Step 5 of 5

    Stand with both feet between the lines again, ready for the next round.
