Facebook.com/KarateZad | KarateZad YouTube

Benefits:
- Leg mobility.
- Works out your quadriceps and gluteus.
- Stretches your quadriceps.
- Practices Core stability.
- Very good leg exercise for Karate stances.

Key pointers:

1. There are two ways to squat:
(i) One is flat on your feet (Asian squat).
(ii) The other is on your ball foot (Westeen Squat).

As you step back:
- Stretch your feet directly behind you. Not to the sides.
- Keep your knees pointed down. Not to the sides.
- Keep your torso upright (don't lean your body forward).
- Avoid touching the ground with your hands.

Repetitions: Every change of a leg is counted as a single step, just like how you count the steps of a normal walk.

The recommended number of steps per set is twenty (20).
