The squat is a very therapeutic position for the human body, especially for barefoot runners as it develops the skill of maintaining the body’s centre of mass over the natural balance point of the body (ball of foot) whilst building strength and range of movement in the ankles, knees, hips and spine. These attributes combined enable the barefoot runner to develop the fundamental movement skill of segmental alignment which is more commonly known as posture.

Natalija B answered the question I take it that part of the challenge is not to hold on to anything? I can't quite do it without either holding on to something or not putting my feet flat. Any suggestionts?

I also did it with my feet flat, I guess it's more of a balance workout then a classic squat as David said.

I believe that the squat is not the typical thighs parallel with the ground. You squat all the way to the ground as though... well like you are going to the toilet in the bush (you know, with no toilet). I could be w...

I did them as posted in the picture. If done like that it is a great post run stretch. I've been doing them after my runds ever since completing this challenge and it feels immensly good.
