Squat Jacks / Side Sumo Walks
How to Do Squat Jacks / Side Sumo Walks
- Stand with your feet in a wide stance, with your toes slightly pointed outwards – like a sumo wrestler. Hold your hands together in front of your chest.
- Keeping your back straight, lower your body towards the ground by bending your knees.
- Bring your left leg in one step so that it lands next to your right leg.
- Take one step with your right leg away from your left leg so that you are now back to the starting position.
- Repeat the complete movement in reverse to complete one rep.
