How to Perform Wall Walk
-
1Start by lying in the floor in a prone position with your feet touching the wall and your head facing away from it. Extend your arms and place your feet firmly on the wall.
-
2While maintaining a neutral spine, begin to climb your feet up the wall. At the same time that your feet ascend the wall, your hands will move closer to the wall as well.
-
3Continue all the way up until your thighs and chest come in contact with the wall. At this point, you will essentially be in a handstand position with the front of your body in contact with the wall.
-
4From the top position, begin to walk your hands away from the wall as your feet climb back down. Try to complete this with as much control as possible. Return to the prone position on the floor. This is one rep.
-
5If you're just learning how to do wall walks, start with walking as high up the wall as you feel comfortable and safe doing. As you get more familiar with the positioning and strength needed, you can start to go higher.
-
6It is also necessary to keep your arms extended throughout the entirety of this movement. Think about keeping the glutes and core engaged as well.
