Instructions
1. Start in a standing position with feet shoulder-width apart.
2. Hinge at your waist and place your hands on the floor in front of your feet.
3. Walk your hands forward until you are in a plank position, with your body in a straight line from head to heels.
4. Perform mountain climbers by quickly alternating bringing each knee towards your chest while maintaining a strong plank position. Do this for a few reps (e.g., 4-8 reps per leg).
5. Walk your hands back towards your feet, returning to the hinged position.
6. Stand up to return to the starting position.
Completing the inchworm walk to the plank position followed by mountain climbers before walking back and standing completes one rep of the "Inchworm and Mountain Climbers" exercise. This exercise targets multiple muscle groups and is excellent for building core strength, stability, and total body endurance.
