Sumo Squat
Start by standing straight with your legs shoulder width apart and your toes point slightly away
Reach and grab your foot while maintaining your legs straight

Come back up by straightening the legs first while grabbing your feet
Stand up still again

Drive and place one leg forward. Make sure the position of the leg is beside your arm
Rotate chest towards the side of the front leg with your hands straightened
Place hand to the outside of the front leg. Straighten the front leg after
Go back into a push up position. Repeat steps for the other side
#3
