Fast foot repeaters?

[red_mct]

Ok, ladies, I need some help here. When doing fast foot repeaters (i.e., the version in IMAX2), where on your foot are you supposed to be landing? I am thinking the ball of the foot is safest, but that seems tricky at times and I have a tendency to land on my toes. Also, are your feet hitting the floor and the step simultaneously, or is there a delay?

Thanks - it's really hard to see what Cathe is doing during this move since I am concentrating so hard on NOT flipping the step, lol.

Cheers,
Marie

Marie -

I assume your talking about landing on the floor because you're only supposed to tap the step. I land full footed only so I can keep my knee bent slightly to absorb the shock. I do the tap and land at the same time (or usually - by the last set I get rather sloppy). Try them slow to start. It's more of a jump/tap than anything else.
