How to: Bear Crawl (low hip)

  1. Start on all fours with your hands directly under your shoulders and knees under your hips.
  2. Lift your knees slightly off the ground and engage your core.
  3. Move one hand forward while simultaneously moving the opposite foot forward.
  4. Keep your knees low and maintain a steady rhythm while crawling.

Common Mistakes

  • Allowing hips to rise too high.
  • Not engaging the core properly.
  • Rushing the movement which compromises form.

Modifications

  • Perform the exercise with knees on the ground for less intensity.
  • Use a padded surface if you have wrist discomfort.

Tips

  • Keep your hips low to maintain a flat back.
  • Move slowly and steadily to engage your core.
  • Focus on controlled movements rather than speed.
