Warmup, Exercise 4: Plank Walkout

  • Stand at the back of your mat, and circle your arms out to the sides to reach toward the ceiling. Look up, and feel your chest opening up.
  • Keeping your back straight, bend forward from your hips to bring your hands to the mat. This position should stretch your hamstrings. If they're tight, bend your knees a bit to take tension off your muscles.
  • Walk your hands forward until your shoulders are directly over your wrists, coming into a high plank. As you walk forward, hold each step to stretch your calves and warm up your shoulders and hands.
  • Hold the plank for a few seconds, pulling your core in toward your spine and keeping your torso in a straight line from shoulders to ankles.
  • From your plank, walk your hands back to your feet until you are in a forward fold, bending from your hips with your hands dangling down.
  • Slowly roll up until you're standing, letting your head hang and keeping your neck relaxed. Roll all the way up until you're fully upright in the starting position.
  • This counts as one rep. Continue for 30 seconds while maintaining proper form.
