    How to: Resistance Band Spider Crawls

    1. Start by anchoring the resistance band around your ankles.
    2. Begin in a low squat position with your back straight.
    3. Step to the side with your right foot, followed by your left foot, maintaining tension in the band.
    4. Repeat by stepping side to side for the desired number of repetitions.
    5. Keep your core tight and ensure your movements are fluid.

    Common Mistakes

    • Using too much momentum instead of controlling the movement.
    • Failing to keep the core engaged throughout the exercise.
    • Not maintaining proper alignment of the back.

    Modifications

    • Perform the crawls from a kneeling position to reduce intensity.
    • Reduce the resistance of the band if necessary.

    Tips

    • Ensure the band is securely anchored to avoid slippage.
    • Maintain a slow and controlled movement to engage your core.
    • Focus on squeezing your shoulder blades together at the peak of the crawl.
