A FIT30 EXERCISE

Walk Outs

Walk Outs are a dynamic full-body movement that engages the muscles of the core, shoulders, arms, and hamstrings. It involves a sequence of reaching down to the floor, walking your hands out into a plank position, and then walking your hands back to your feet.

What are some tips for Walk Outs?

  1. Execute each movement with control, especially when walking out into the plank position and back.
  2. Keep your core muscles engaged throughout the exercise to support your spine.
  3. Aim to maintain a flat back when walking out and in, avoiding rounding or arching.
  4. Inhale as you walk out into the plank, exhale as you walk back toward your feet.
  5. If needed, adjust the placement of your hands during the walk-out to find a comfortable range of motion.
