Walkout Stretch (The Inchworm)

This is a great overall stretch that also challenges core strength tremendously. You feel this stretch all the way from the calf muscles into the lower back.


1, Bend at the waist and reach your hands towards the ground. Keep your legs straight but don't lock the knees.



2. Walk the hands out over the head. Activate your core to keep the body as straight as possible.



3. Keeping the legs straight (again, without locking out the knees) use the ankles to walk the feet back up towards the feet. As you draw closer to the feet you can raise up onto your fingertips in order to keep the legs more straight. Stand up tall and repeat all of the movements 6-8 times....moving like an inchworm.
