How to Do Walking Squat Exercises

"ALICE MONSAERT: Walking squats. We've done squats in our stationary position, and we've lifted with them. Now we're going to travel with them. So, really remember your safety features because once you get going with the squat and you start moving it, sometimes it's really easy to lose your form, and what I mean by that is you sink into your knees. Your hips always have to move first with your glutes going back behind you. So we're just going to simply take the squat and move it laterally across whatever space that you have. If you have dumbbells, hold them in front of your chest, squat, sit back, step together, squat, lift and step. And then you move it to the other side so the other leg leads. Sit back, lift. Torso is lifted, there's no collapsing in the spine. If you're not using weights, you can bring your arms forward. If you have weights, always hold them close to your chest, don't reach them out in front of you. So here. Since I don't have weights, I can counterbalance my movement and move back into my squat. So the squat becomes not only a leg-strengthening exercise, but when you do a lot of those and you're moving your body weight, you'll really start to feel some cardiovascular benefits as well. So go get those hot legs, girls."
