HOW TO DO INCHWORM

  1. Stand tall, soften the knees, and hinge forward until the hands reach the floor within your mobility.
  2. Walk the hands forward in small steps until the body reaches a firm high plank.
  3. Pause with shoulders over hands, then walk the hands back toward the feet and roll or hinge up, or walk the feet forward according to the chosen variation.
  4. Bend the knees as needed rather than rounding aggressively, use a non-slip surface, and shorten the walkout if the lower back sags or wrists become uncomfortable.
