Inch Worms serve as a great dynamic warmup for the entire body. They really do work chest, shoulders, back, arms, core, and legs. Instructions for fun are below!
- Begin in a standing position with knees straight but not locked.
- Inhale arms overhead, draw belly toward spine and as you exhale, hinge at the hips reaching fingers towards the floor. Keep knees straight unless hamstrings/calfs are too tight, then give them a slight bend.
- Place hands on floor. While keeping core engaged walk hand forward into a high plank/pushup position. Shoulders over wrists with a straight spine.
- If your back is healthy, keeping arms straight, drop hips into an updog position. Otherwise skip this.
- Keeping knees as straight as posible walk toes toward hands. Repeat steps 3, 4 & 5 for desired distance.
