How to do a toe tap

  1. Stand facing a low box with feet hip-width apart and knees slightly bent.
  2. Lightly tap the top of the box with the toes of one foot.
  3. Quickly switch feet, bringing the other foot up to tap while lowering the first.
  4. Continue alternating in a fast, bouncing rhythm.
  5. Keep your arms bent and moving to help maintain rhythm and balance.
  6. Land softly on the balls of your feet throughout the set.

Form tips

  • Stay light on your feet and land softly to reduce joint impact.
  • Keep your chest up and core engaged to avoid leaning too far forward.
  • Maintain a quick, controlled tempo rather than heavy stomping.
  • Only tap the box lightly with your toes, not your full foot.
