Common Mistakes
- ! Leaning too much on your heels: Make sure your weight remains on the balls of your feet.
- ! Standing too stiffly: Keep your knees slightly bent for greater efficiency and a lower risk of injury.

Primary Muscles
Fast Feet primarily targets the calf muscles, quadriceps, and hamstrings. The glutes and core muscles are also engaged for stability.
Possible Alternatives
