Inch Worm

The Inch Worm is great for stretching the posterior chain from the glutes to the calves, along with increasing shoulder strength and mobility.

Key Points:

• Place hands flat on floor as close to feet as possible with straight back and legs
• Walk hands out as far as possible, maintaining a straight back and legs
• Push heels into the floor and keep legs straight as much as possible
• Arms should be locked out and actively pushing into the floor
• Drive chest through the arms towards the legs
• Walk feet back to hands, while maintaining the same form as the walk out
• To modify, place hands further away from feet and shorten the length of the walk out and walk back in
