Bear Crawl

How to do it

  1. 1

    Start on your hands and knees, then lift your knees just a few centimetres off the floor — hold this position with your back flat.

  2. 2

    Move forward by stepping your right hand and left knee at the same time, then your left hand and right knee — like a crawling animal.

  3. 3

    Keep your hips low and level — they should not rock side to side.

  4. 4

    Breathe steadily throughout — don't hold your breath.

Where you should feel it: Your stomach, shoulders and thighs.

What your coach says mid-set

  • “Knees hover just off the floor”
  • “Opposite hand and knee move together”
  • “Hips stay low and level”
