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 the exercise to stretch the tendons for horseback riding. The ''Stechschritt'' is basically a show of good horsemanship. It has since been adopted as part of the [[military]] traditions outside of [[the West]].
