Heel Tap

The Quadricep muscle group helps develop strength and lower body power through out the swing. And assists in hip stability, and vertical force

Starting position:

Start by standing upright with good posture on a box or platform, 2-4 inches, and increase as needed. One foot should be fully on the box with the foot over the side, in the air. The hips should be level to the ground, not tipped due to one leg being unsupported.

Movement:

Keeping your spine neutral throughout the movement, begin by slightly hinging at the hips, to get them behind the torso and standing knee. As the hip and knee bends the torso slightly leans forward from the hip. Lowering the non-supported leg to the ground, keep the non-supported toe pulled up, or dorsiflexed so that the heel is the first thing to touch the ground. Drive through the heel of the supported leg to press yourself back up to the starting position.

Notes: Complete repetitions on each side, or alternate for a chosen amount of repetitions
