The inch worm is a sneaky exercise because it is very low impact so is suitable for those with injuries or limitations, but it is still fairly high intensity and will get you out of breath before you know it! This is a full body exercise and will target every muscle group, but especially your core.
To perform this exercise, start in a standing position. Keeping your legs straight, walk your hands forward until you are in a press up position. Then, still keeping your legs straight, walk your hands back to your feet and stand up straight. If you want to make this exercise harder, you could add a press up or a weight.
Make sure that your press up position is perfect each time, with your back straight and your bum in line with your back.
