Exercise: Bear Crawls

Great for: warm up, coordination, core strength, shoulder strength.

Do: Get on all fours, then just hover your knees above the ground. Crawl using opposite hand/foot. Keep your core braced and relatively still.

Do: When going backwards, take smaller steps with your feet (so that your hands can keep up!)

Don’t: Raise your butt up in the air, or bring your knees to your elbows as you crawl.

Easier: n/a

Harder: backwards is more challenging for most people!
