Inchworm
What is an Inchworm?
The Inchworm, a HIIT class favorite, is a full-body exercise that increases strength and flexibility. Your body weight is the only gym equipment you need to make this low-impact exercise highly effective. Inspired by the rhythmic movements of inchworms, this move covers all the bases: core, arms, chest and upper back.
