Move one step at a time, always focusing on a standing locked knee. Keep the weight evenly distributed on the foot. Get a good grip down to the webbing just at the ball of the foot.

Physically it tightens abdominal and thigh muscles, improves flexibility of the sciatic nerves and hamstrings muscles in addition to the deltoid, trapezius, latissimus dorsi, and rhomboids.  Strengthens the biceps, deltoids and triceps muscles.
