Finish off with INCHWORM (walks)
From a standing position with your feet slightly
apart, engage your abdominal muscles to stabilize your spine. Gently exhale and
bend forward from your hips ("hip hinging"). Try to keep your knees
straight (but not locked). Slowly lower your torso towards the floor until you
can place your fingers or palms of your hands on the floor in front of your
body. If your hamstrings are tight, you may need to bend your knees slightly.
Try to keep the spine flat. Slowly begin to walk your hands forward, away from
your feet. Your heels will begin to rise off the floor. Continue walking your
hands forward until you reach a full-push-up position where your spine, hips
and head are level with the floor (plank position). Slowly begin walking your
feet forward towards your hands, taking steps without moving your hands.
Maintain a flat spine throughout and continue walking until your feet are close
to your hands.
Do 3 sets of 5 walks!!
