Exercise Description

The inchworm exercise builds full-body strength while targeting your shoulders, core, and chest. It's a dynamic movement that improves flexibility and coordination.

How To

1. Start standing tall with feet hip-width apart and arms at your sides 2. Bend forward at hips and place hands on floor in front of your feet 3. Walk your hands forward into a plank position, keeping legs straight during the inchworm movement 4. Hold the plank briefly, then walk hands back toward your feet 5. Return to standing to complete one rep of the inchworm exercise

Form Tips

• Keep your core tight throughout the entire inchworm movement to protect your lower back • Move slowly and controlled - don't rush through the hand-walking phases • Keep legs as straight as possible when bending forward and walking hands out • Maintain a strong plank position when you reach the bottom of the inchworm exercise

Common Mistakes

• Letting hips sag or pike up too high when in the plank position during inchworm • Moving too fast and losing control of the movement • Bending knees excessively when reaching down or walking hands back in the inchworm exercise
