Bear Crawl

A bodyweight movement where the body is held in an inverted V position with hands and feet on the ground, building full-body strength and stability.

Instructions

1. Start on your hands and feet with your hips elevated, forming an inverted V shape.
2. Keep your hands directly beneath your shoulders and your feet about hip-width apart.
3. Maintain a flat back and engage your core throughout.
4. Move by stepping one hand forward followed by the opposite foot, maintaining the bear position.
5. Continue moving forward or in different patterns as prescribed for time or distance.

Tips

• Keep your hips at a consistent height; avoid dropping them or hiking them too high.
• Move deliberately and maintain the inverted V position throughout.
• Engage your core strongly to prevent your hips from sagging.
• This exercise can be performed for time or distance depending on your focus.
• Modify by performing slower, more deliberate movements or faster crawling patterns.
