How to perform it
- Stand with your feet close together. Keeping your legs straight, stretch down and put your hands on the floor directly in front of you. This will be your starting position.
- Begin by walking your hands forward slowly, alternating your left and your right. As you do so, bend only at the hip, keeping your legs straight.
- Keep going until your body is parallel to the ground in a pushup position.
- Now, keep your hands in place and slowly take short steps with your feet, moving only a few inches at a time.
- Continue walking until your feet are by hour hands, keeping your legs straight as you do so.
Muscles worked
The Inchworm primarily targets your Hamstrings. You'll need body only.
Make it count toward your goal
Random sets rarely move the needle. In NYUS, the Inchworm slots into a plan built for your goal — sets and reps set in the plan, logged in two taps, and folded into a weekly check-in that adjusts your calories, macros and step goal.
