Inchworm
From standing, fold and walk the hands out to a plank, then walk the feet up to the hands with the legs as straight as they go; stand and repeat.
How to do it
Setup
Stand tall, feet hip-width, legs as straight as they go.
Steps
- Fold at the hips and put the hands on the floor.
- Walk the hands out to a high plank.
- Walk the feet up toward the hands, legs straight.
- Stand tall and repeat.
Common mistakes
Bending the knees to reach the floor: bend only as much as the hamstrings demand. Hips sagging in the plank: brace before the last hand-step. Tiny hand-steps: long reaches, the trunk holding the line.
Breathing
Exhale walking the hands out, inhale walking the feet in.
