How to do the Fast Feet
Step by step
- Stand with feet hip-width, knees soft, and weight on the balls of your feet.
- Lean slightly forward and start pattering your feet up and down quickly.
- Keep the steps small and rapid, pumping your arms to match.
- Stay light and controlled rather than tensing up or slamming your feet.
The thing people get wrong
Go at an effort you can sustain and take short breaks whenever you need - this should warm you up, not wear you out; keep steps light and quick.
Coaching cue
Pump your arms as fast as you can and your feet will match your hands.
Make it easier or harder
- Easier: Slow the tempo down to a light jog in place.
- Harder: Work in bursts of 20 seconds all out with 20 seconds rest.
Muscles worked

What to do instead
Same job, different movement — useful if you don't have the equipment or it doesn't feel right today.
Daily Coach builds this into a real weekly plan. It picks the exercises for your equipment and experience, swaps around injuries you tell it about, and tracks what you actually lifted.
