The '''goose step''' is the nickname given to the ''Stechschritt'' a type of marching step performed in formal military parades and special ceremonies. While marching in parade formation, the goose step is performed by troops by swinging their legs in unison off the ground, while keeping each leg straight and unbent. Its origins are among [[Prussia]]n [[cavalry]] officers who used it to stretch the tendons for horseback riders.
