Inchworm and Mountain Climbers
Walk the hands out to a plank as in the inchworm, add a run of mountain climbers, then walk the hands back and stand.
How to do it
Setup
Standing tall, feet hip-width.
Steps
- Fold forward and walk the hands out to a high plank.
- Drive the knees in turn for a few climbers.
- Walk the hands back to the feet and stand tall.
Common mistakes
Hips sagging when the climbers start: brace the plank first. Hands landing far ahead of the shoulders: stop the walk-out with them under the shoulders. Rounding up to stand: roll up through a long spine.
Breathing
Breathe steadily; exhale on the knee drives.
