This is a beginners guide on how to bear crawl to improve strength, coordination & get a better looking core.
Crawling can be beneficial for almost everyone to put into their exercise routine. My goal here today to give you a little bit more confidence & how you can incorporate crawling into your everyday routine. There are some great benefits. Number 1 is strength and aesthetics. When you crawl you’re going to engage your whole core the whole time you're doing it. You’re engaging from the chest all the way down through the hips & into the legs. You’re going to increase your body's relative strength not to mention you're probably going to get a stronger better looking core as well. Maybe even a six pack.
Another reason is just pure coordination of your body. When you crawl you moving this conduct contralateral pattern which is the same as walking. We spend so much time sitting we lose that pattern so this is a way to bring your body back on pattern & be more athletic The last reason is because crawling is very free & flowing. Usually we go to the gym & do squats or a bicep curl & those require strict form. With crawling its kind of left up to you to interpret how you want to move so you can go out have some fun. Let’s get into how to go about being in control.
Learning the Bear Crawl
Step 1 is to get in the bear position. You're going to get into quadraped & going to have your hands right underneath your shoulders & knees underneath your hips. We’re going to push the ground away in posterior tilt the pelvis a little bit & get that tucked. All that's going to do is just engage the core & we want the core to be very active. The head position you're going to tuck the chin & just bring that neck back a little bit. From here we’re going to start our crawl motion & this is basically what a crawl is. Let’s start with the right h& left leg together & we’re just going to reach & bring that left knee up. I reach with my arm, bring the leg behind me. This is very easy & probably anybody can do this.
You really want to get down this pattern down so when we kick up your feet you're really get comfortable moving your arm in your opposite leg together in that contralateral fashion. Here we're going kick up the knees & start our regular crawl. I'm just going to lift my knees above ground & from here & do that same motion forward & then bring it back. What’s very important is that you just once again keeping that patterning going so your coordinating your body to move it was contralateral fashion. Don't worry so much in the beginning about what your hips are doing or what your shoulders & arms are doing. Just start crawling around & get comfortable with that. We’ve go to build up some endurance & strength. Once you’re more comfortable with moving in that pattern we want to start to think about some things.
The first thing is we want to start keeping the knees lower to the ground & that's going to be make for a harder crawl & more engagement of the muscle. If we can keep those knees just a couple of inches off the ground. We can also crawl backwards & it’s little more challenging but again you start progressing. The other thing that you want to do once you start getting comfortable is start thinking about what's going on in your body so with my arm I really want to reach forward & then pull myself through the ground. With my leg I really want to lift this knee up & get some good hip flexion & then push the ground away. So now you're getting more comfortable with your crawl & we start thinking I'm going to reach & pull going to bring that knee up & push. Reach, pull then push. Once you start getting that then you're going to start making a bettor connection with the muscles in your body & start feeling more that core working, to feel your hip flexors working & you're butt while you're pushing away. You start making these connections with these muscles. That will lead you to be very efficient crawler you can get stronger & like I said it's going to lead to more athleticism as well.

When I was a baby: How to walk
When I am an adult: How to crawl
I train in Capoeira, and I've been growing really fast over this last year (my first year). I get a lot of my at home exercises to improve my capoeira from your channel. Thank you!
I’m doing this because I just bought a creepy full black suit and I wanna scare everyone by crawling
Functional movements are key to reaching your full potential
Your channel is super underrated. I'm starting to implement quite a few things you've been posting. Much appreciated.
That's great HardGainer. Keep up the work!
Who else here because there football coach makes you do bear crawls
1k Tonyy me
If I do football at least I'll be prepared
yessirrrrr
Frrrr bruh, they be makin all the linemen on my team do it
Me. I hate my coach. I can't believe he still makes me do these... I'm 43 years old, dammit. :(
I just found you and I will be slowly integrating your workout with what I am doing now. I am just getting started with exercise and trying to find what works best for me. Thank you for sharing your ways!
I love crawling. please make more tutorials on different styles of crawling. thank you :)
Deal
SnakeY yea
You put out some great videos man
Coach just recommended that I start doing these to help learn to brace since I often have lower back pain even on lighter lifts. Glad I have your videos to use as a reference.
I love this channel! I subscribed to Josh's MSN program about 18 weeks ago. I'm 65 and I knew I needed professional help { Some would say in more ways than one!} I continue to use the program and I don't see that changing for me. I'm diligent and have seen slow and steady improvement in my strength and mobility. I'm a big guy 6'3 230lbs so I'm crazy careful about not getting injured. To date, this program has really helped me in that respect as well. Knock on wood! Cheers
Hey thanks for sharing Bob. Really stoked to hear you are feeling good. Also updating the program soon. SOme new stuff you may enjoy :)
Thank you for this excellent detailed explanation.👍🏼
love it. Thank you for your contribution
Brand new here, and have never seen your content before. I appreciate the simple explanation! Subscribed man!
Awesome stuff
Woah. You have improved sooooo of much on how to create a fun engaging video since that one!!
I'm just starting to work out and I tried doing these and let me tell you the next day I was sore af
Going to try this tomorrow morning
That looks really fun but challenging, I will give it a try. My challenge is two fold weak wrists and arthritis in my thumb joints, oh so painful! But let me see what I can do…
Brilliant! These makes pure sense to me. I’ve been doing a type of pushup for the last few year that kinda start in a similar posture/position. Ass up above knees, lowering my upper body until my forehead touch’s the ground and back up again. Being careful to keep everything in alignment, with my elbows bending directly below my shoulders, as opposed to out to the sides. Anyways, enough rant! Love what yu do! I’m gonna go back and check all ur vids!!
Bigup brother✊🏾🙏🏾
Thanks bro 🙏🏻🙏🏻

The Debate Team at my school lost a debate and their coach made them do bear crawls for 3 hours straight. It was 100 degrees outside as well.

59 too! I crawled before I walked, As I got older the wrestling coach had us crawl in practice. Started to drink alcohol until I crawled again. Yes, I crawled into A.A -. I don't drink but will crawl for weight loss lol that's my story.
This helps with posture right?
Is this Carlmonte HS? Pretty sure it is. I play tennis there.
Can you show us how to crawl laterally
I wanted to learn how to crawl jump like sabertooth in x-men
Make a crawl video where you don't bend any of the joint except elbow and ankles....this type of movement will make one a super stalker in forest and grassland...
Hi great video!. How do is it call the movements you do at the 1:55? Its a movement of capoeira?
Yh
Hello can this fix winging scapular?
