Walking Squats...

[dontburstmy]

any other variations of walking squats with dumbbells?....they seem to really work the glutes.

You mean walking lunges?

[dontburstmy]

how is this possible?

[elperfecto]

LOL @ this thread on several levels.

Why take a step and do a squat? Just do a squat without the step, it's the same deal.

[Curlers]

i dont get it this either.. the closest thing to a walking squat are duck walks, but you wouldnt use weight for that exercise since its more of a conditioning exercise.

Lol confused here too....

lol, between the topic and pics, i dont even....

Maybe he means like you do a walking lunge, but rather than immediately going into another lunge by carrying through the catching-up leg into the advancing leg, you stop once it catches up, do a squat, then continue lunging?

Sometimes when someone is chasing me and I need to poop I'll do this sort of squatting pooping run, maybe this is kind of what OP is talking about.

[Tyciol]

Why don't you just poop in their path so they slip and fall in it and can't keep up with you?

Why don't you just STFU

wat do, you're better off doing lunges

[dontburstmy]

sorry for the confusion... to do a walking squat.... you step to the side and then squat down and up and step again to the side..... stepping to the side hits and targets the glutes at a different angle then you would get with just a straight squat or lunge......

[chazzy1864]

Side/lateral lunges?

[Farley1324]

sorry for the confusion... to do a walking squat.... you step to the side and then squat down and up and step again to the side..... stepping to the side hits and targets the glutes at a different angle then you would get with just a straight squat or lunge......

aka a wide stance squat with a crappy setup

Maybe you should just go ahead and get us a video of this supposed exercise being performed

I've seen Taekwon Do practitioners do that, but while climbing giant stairs and without weights.

My gym teacher makes us do these to "tone". They're useless from a bodybuilding standpoint. They made me real dizzy too.

ROFL


So it's a lightweight partial where you alternate stance width between reps.

That video was pathetic, BTW.

[dontburstmy]

That's a good variation of it....thanks.
