WALL WALK

HOW TO DO WALL WALK

HOW TO DO WALL WALK:

1. Starting Position:

   • Lie face down on the floor with your body in a straight line from head to heels.

   • Place your hands on the ground, shoulder-width apart.

2. Walking Up the Wall:

   • Begin walking your feet up the wall while simultaneously walking your hands toward the wall.

   • Continue walking until you are in a handstand position with your feet resting against the wall.

3. Hold the Handstand:

   • Maintain a stable handstand position for a moment, engaging your core and keeping your body straight.

   • Focus on balance and control during this phase.

4. Descending:

   • Slowly lower yourself back to the starting position by walking your hands away from the wall and walking your feet down.

   • Keep your movements controlled to avoid sudden drops.

5. Repeat:

   • Perform the desired number of repetitions based on your fitness level and goals.

   • Gradually increase the challenge as you become more proficient.

Personal Trainer Tips:

• Ensure your hands are shoulder-width apart, and your elbows are close to your sides to maintain proper alignment.

• Avoid arching your back or letting your hips sag during the ascent and descent to prevent strain on your lower back.

• Beginners should start with a few repetitions and gradually progress as strength and proficiency improve.

• Warm-up before attempting wall walks to prepare your shoulders, core, and wrists for the exercise.

• Incorporate stretches post-exercise to promote flexibility and reduce muscle tightness.
