inchworm
A waist exercise targeting the abs, performed with body weight.
How to do inchworm
Start in a standing position with your feet hip-width apart.
Bend forward at the waist and place your hands on the ground in front of you.
Walk your hands forward until you are in a high plank position, with your body in a straight line from head to toe.
Pause for a moment, then walk your hands back towards your feet, keeping your legs as straight as possible.
Once your hands reach your feet, stand back up to the starting position.
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
