How To Do The Walkouts Bodyweight Exercise:
From the standing position, bend over so both hands are on the floor. From here, “walk” you hands out until you are in the pushup position. At this point you have two options; do a pushup or simply pause briefly. Whatever version you choose, immediately reverse the movement and go back to standing. Interlock your fingers and press them out overhead in a totally “arms locked” position.
Here is the video of me doing some walkouts:
Sometimes I will do a circular motion with my upper body at the top with the hands still over head. Kind of like when you used to do those pelvic circles in gym class. You can also make it harder by not stopping in the pushup (or plank) position at the bottom. Keep walking your hands out past your shoulders and then head until you look like superman with your hands straight out front and your nose is touching the dirt. It’s killer on the abs and will feel like a straight arm pullover as well.
