Bear Crawl
Equipment
Begin to move forward by taking a small step with your right hand and left foot at the same time, keeping your hips low.
Follow by taking a step with your left hand and right foot, maintaining a steady pace and keeping your back flat and abs engaged.
Continue this pattern of opposite hand and foot steps, moving forward for a set distance or time.
To finish, slowly lower your knees back to the ground and take a moment to stretch out your arms and legs.
Pro Tip
**Engage Your Core**: Engaging your core is crucial for this exercise. This means pulling your belly button towards your spine and keeping your abs tight. A common mistake is to let the belly sag towards the floor, which can put unnecessary pressure on your lower back. **Move Opposite Limbs Together**: Move your right hand and left foot forward at the same time, then your left hand and right foot. This cross-body movement is key to the bear crawl, but people often move same-side limbs together, which is less effective and can throw off your balance. **Maintain a Slow, Controlled Pace**: Don't rush through the movement
