How to do a Inchworm Walkout
- Stand tall, then hinge at the hips and place your hands on the floor.
- Walk your hands forward until you reach a straight-body plank.
- Hold briefly with your core braced and hips level.
- Walk your hands back toward your feet, keeping the legs as straight as comfortable.
- Roll up to stand and repeat.
Keep in mind
- Hinge to the floor with soft knees; bend them as much as you need.
- Walk the hands out until your shoulders are over your wrists.
- Squeeze the glutes at the plank so the hips don't sag.
- Walk the hands back in and stand up tall.
Common mistakes
- The hips sagging as you reach the plank — brace before the last step out.
- Throwing the hands out and back — walk them, don't throw them.
- Forcing straight legs on the fold — bend the knees and keep the back long.
Breathing
Breathe out as you walk out, in as you walk back.
Take care
This loads the shoulders in the plank position — shorten the walkout if your shoulders are already tired.
