Warm-Up Mobility

WHAT IS IT

The Inch Worm walks the hands out to a plank and back to the feet. It is a warm-up staple that opens the hamstrings and switches the shoulders and midline on before the working sets.

HOW TO DO IT CORRECTLY

  1. 1Stand tall, then hinge and place both hands on the floor.
  2. 2Keep the legs as straight as your hamstrings allow.
  3. 3Walk the hands forward until you reach a straight-arm plank.
  4. 4Hold the plank for a beat without letting the hips sag.
  5. 5Walk the feet up to the hands in small steps and stand.
