Josh has been crawling for years. And after years of experience, Josh walks (or crawls) us through his findings on how it's transformed his body. Crawling is order than walking. Yet, our society doesn't advocate for practicing crawling in our exercise routines. Why? Crawling activates muscles that walking doesn't. Crawling will challenge your body and mind, your coordination, and your upper and lower body. Get connected to your body by giving crawling a try! - Розваги

Movement is the basis of ALL life, Human and animal.
There is an important difference between human and animals... but there's also an important difference between human and man.
This is beautiful, it feels mi heart, I jutt came from Puerto Rico, I lost my sister two weeks ago and the process has been very painful. I still did the strength side in the mornings to keep my sanity and moving. For me this feels like a kid in a candy store. Ever since I started with SS I feel a connection with the primal, animal flow. Of course I am a beginner but I have to say that whenever there is a flow in the movement from the program I just get a smile on my face and feel like a little kid, excited to go for it. I do love the crawling and keep practicing hanging. Thank You for this it feels me up. Belssings.
@@lukeaaron5588he just needs to go to wrestling practice. He'll get all the full body ground movement
@@frankserrano9156 wrestler's do have a physique that's quite unique to their sport.
I've not wrested, but I believe it's the strength training but with a twist... literally... wrestler's do a lot of rotational exercises but twisting the entire body in both directions, most modern day sports won't allow that level of contact because it... hurts when things break lol... but wrestler's train for that I presume.
@@lukeaaron5588 sorry that I replied to you. It didn't give me the option to reply to him directly. But yes, wrestling is full body application. You're using muscles you would never normally use in all sorts of different positions and angles
I had a totally wrecked back 2 bulged discs after a back surgery 8 years ago. Spent time this last winter helping a family member build a house I spent three weeks in a crawl space and I healed my back this is no joke it works and I couldn’t figure out what I did to heal up so well. I feel amazing again.
Home Depot is the new gym
OMG! This is so inspiring ❤
I wonder whether this works even when one is in old age with less muscles ? What about pain from arthritis and all those other attributes of aging ? I’m in my mid-70s and have done 20+ years of yoga until groin pain stopped me from continuing and I’ve gotten so darn stiff since then. Luckily I do my own floor washing, like to squat when I get the chance and move and act in a younger way then my age, but I want to get stronger and better so I can be as strong and flexible as possible into my 80s and further , please 🙏🏻 goddess;-)
I'm pleased for you, I end up crawling when I do the hoovering as I can't stand up to do it after a certain amount of time. Bulging discs never go back in though so I've researched, a slipped disc will but it's happened twice so it's bulging now. I shall try and crawl more.
👍
I'm 71 years new. Did the Lizard Crawl yesterday for 80 feet. Realized I'm 71 years old. I'll be back! The first half of this video is hilarious. The last half was in tears from the poetry in motion and the narrative 👍
😂😂😂
Well said. I got into 'bear walking' (not all that much but) and its helped me. I'm pretty good at it, on the tiles from the front door hallway to my bedroom, maybe back again. Cats think I'm crazy. I'm 67. Hurt my hands at first but not anymore (had to hold my slippers on my palms) (would be easier if the floor had nice carpet) but it takes the tension away before getting ready for sleep best of all it removes all doubt - that its good to not take oneself too seriously. If you can, do the silly walk 😅 a bit at a time and as you do get stronger it never loses the silliness - cats ignore me now oh its just her... 😮
@@7hilladelphiaDid you know bears can run faster uphill, unlike most beasts?
Swing for the fences !
I was lucky enough to get introduced to crawling 10 years ago when I started working for Tim Anderson of Original Strength. I’ll be 53 in Aug and I’m stronger and have less pain now then I did before I started doing a lot of crawling. I got back into skateboarding and skate 3-4 days a week for 3 hrs straight.
Crawling is amazing and you do a fantastic job on explaining why. Hopefully this will get even more people crawling around.
Inspiring that you're still skating!
Same here, i'm 52 and crawl/animal flow as a supplement to Crossfit training, i've joined a parkour group and am able to do that as a result of the crawling. I'm always the oldest guy in the group but I can do it.
Ever since I discovered Original Strength, I became a fan, not only of the resets (which makes you feel amazing), but of the daily ten minute work Tim Anderson talks about often. Imagine, just 10 minutes of crawling every day can make you more strong, resilient, conditioned and mobile than you ever were. That's what I've been doing for the past six months, and I'm feeling great and capable for anything life might throw up at me.
Amazing. So inspiring.
I can vouch to this. Started crawling after seeing your videos and that has healed my upper back like nothing else!
happy to hear it!
"Disconnected" -- the perfect explanation of how I'm feeling as a "once very active, softball player, mother of 3 boys, gymrat, self-proclaimed weightlifter," to a 62-year old grandmother who only move on demand. I can get on the floor but can I crawl, skip, jump? When you have to "think" about how to perform the next movement instead of it being natural as it once was, something is wrong. Never stop moving!!! This is awesome!
it comes back quick. u got it!
Grounded in terms of electricity flow through our bodys to the earth does have a big impact...barefoot combined with natural movement is the key.....best guys....keep on crawling...ragards from España
This is really interesting! I knew a woman in her twenties who was in a really bad car accident. It was a miracle that she survived, but she ended up having a lot of brain damage. One of the things they had her doing was crawling, because it was supposed to help heal her brain.
That’s good sharing, thank you ❤
My mom was a first grade school teacher and one of the things she learned in her childhood development studies was the importance of babies crawling before walking.
@@justthefactsmam9 so true!
Melody Gardot is a singer and was in a terrible accident years ago with much brain damage. Her doctor had her play guitar and sing to establish neural pathways again. Different approach similar goal.
Im 61. But lean and flexible from years of yoga. But massive depression and anxiety in the last two decades left me going ti work and then curling up in the couch almost all the time in between. I am a wreck. Watching you crawl brings back memories of younger freedom. But also- it appeals as a natural thing I’ve never done (except when climbing ricks on the shoreline and that was random and so lovely. So i do have an idea of what it would be like to crawl. For years I lost all that random freedom, and pursued repetitive, movements-lifting weights, jogging endless miles, bike riding. All driven by an addictive quality-and thoroughly unpleasant mostly. What you’re doing appeals.
Damn, his videos going next level. Feels like watching a documentary
thanks that's the vibe we were going for :)
I broke my ankle a few years ago, and instead of hobbling on crutches, I crawled around the house using knee pads and up and down the stairs. I actually lost weight and toned up more. Maybe should do some more crawling again 😂
One time i heard someone say "if you rest, you rust" and i took it as a fact of life.
Just want to say thank you guys for being my movement gurus for the past few years and love to see the growth in your channel, thank you also for my growth as i am more capable and confident in my body each day. Y'all are awesome!
rest is rust , gottit , thx
Keep it up Kelly! great work :)
Rest is necessary. Let's not confuse it with being sedentary
This felt like a movie dude! Absolutely loved this video style, and how you covered the topic. A much needed conversation to be had on "mainstream" UA-cam ;) Keep it up brother! - Yassir
I had a tree drop a branch on me almost 3 years ago and have struggled to find something to help with them weakness and muscle spasms that the spinal fractures left me with. I'm really excited to give this a try! Thank you for the video!
Any progress?
Damn man. That's rough. Hope all is well
@@a_unreal_cat Some. It is slow going. I've also just recently started eating a carnivore diet, and between the two my spasms seem to be less intense. I still cannot walk thru Sam's Club without a cart to lean on but I do believe I am making progress. Ty for asking!
Thank you from a 50 years old french guy with less back pain now (yes France 🇨🇵is crawling too). Your channel is very helpful, you re awesome.🤩
great to hear man!
Germany now, too 🎉
Just started a couple weeks ago. Greetings from Greece 🇬🇷
Crawling is great!
After crawling for a short distance, you feel like the movement "unlocks" your spine.
Same for hips, feet, etc...
And it gives a surprisingly really good "burn" on your legs!
so true!
Truly inspiring! Thank you Strengthside. My Taiji instructor advised me to spend as much time on all fours as possible. He suspected I’d been encouraged to walk upright too early and my hips had lost mobility very early on. That was 15 years ago (I’m 65 now) and although I have gotten out of the habit, you have inspired me to re-engage.
wow what awesome advice!
Josh. Thanks man. I’m 65. Lifelong bodybuilder. Love to workout. Still strong. Now I have added daily movements into my programming. It is paying benefits in feeling GOOD with my body. I’d like to get to how I felt when I was 16! I know that won’t happen but I remember how lively my joints were back then. Anyway. Thanks so much for what you have given ME from what you do for free for all of us. You are a very good human.
.... me too , 65 , rest is rust , here we go
@@junkjunk2493 currently driving cross country with my youngest son. At the hotel this morning he comes out of the bathroom and sees me crawling and goin sideways and whatnot and says “what the f_ck got into you?” Haha. I like the movement stuff and will continue
Thanks for the words man :) Let's keep things moving
Memories ...
I'm 67yo. I've been a member of MSN for about a year and a half. I've mage great progress in my mobility, flexibility and strength! Slow progress to be sure {I'm a "slow gainer",} but most importantly to me, injury free progress! Josh and his team seem to me to be genuine, top shelf folks. I strongly recommend his program. Peace
Thanks so much glad to hear the progress keeps coming!
I’ve had a sore shoulder for the past 9 months. Mostly with abd/flex. I started doing some crawling and the movement where you put your leg through and your balancing on an arm and a leg seems to really help my shoulder. The first time I did it I felt like a squishing feeling but not in a bad way. My shoulder is at least 50% better. Thank you for your videos.
The "crawl switch" is so good for your shoulders... keep at it :)
Crawling is also a foundational practice in some styles of Shiatsu training, including Zen Shiatsu and Ohashiatsu.
There's also so many neurological benefits.
Glad to see you highlighting crawling as an intentional practice. Love your work, as always!
That's right! Thank you!
Video quality and edits just went supernova! 🤘🏼
I agree, amazing 👏
Amazing production quality! I used your channel's advice to help fix my shoulder starting about two years ago, and it's finally well enough (not perfect yet) to do crawling which I actually started to do just earlier this week, based on the older videos you've done about crawling. I was super sore the day after the first day I did it, but after a day of rest I noticed immediately that I felt better than before the day of crawling, especially my shoulder.
great to hear man!
Dang Josh! The quality of this message and the video itself is awesome. All the best to you and the family - excited to continue watching SS evolve! 👏
Thanks Tedd! Appreciate your support brother!
Its even more simple Josh!Crawling is the first movement we learn as an infant and it builds us up to standing and eventually walking. Once I get over this injury I'll be at the park crawling and scaring everyone off 😎
Love all of the Hash brothers videos!
thanks man!
Very true we use these “animal” movements allll the time in my Taekwondo class. It truly helps with movement and less injuries ✌🏾
Love this vid,Josh. To add,now you’ll get to see the movement that we are actually born with by watching your two little boys growing ❤. It’s fascinating how schools and offices immobilise us. And since I’ve trained in your camp in the past, I can’t stand sitting in the office chair...for the last 3 years. You hit the nail in the head here. Tones of shamrocks from Ireland 😊!
Thank you.
I just did crawling and quickly realized my wrists are stiff and weak.
I am definitely adding crawling.
I exercise daily but I am 60 and have noticed lately my strength is less. I have recently added light weights.
Good video
Really love the editing style of this video, excited to see some more stuff like this!
This summer, my jam has been getting a good swim in and crawling afterwards. Has me feeling light, strong and flexible
I was always very mobile. I could do a deep squat and crab walk during both my pregnancies. I've always had a strong core and hips and didn't think they could get better. Raising my two sons, I'm constantly crawling around, moving quickly to help when they fall, bending in ways I never thought to bend. Despite still healing from this last pregnancy, I'm stronger than before. My muscles can handle more and move more. My sons have retaught me the very basics of movement. It's wonderful.
This is straight truth!
I accelerated recovery from ruptured L4-L5 L5-S1.
Self administered Physiotherapy basically.
I move better and I am stronger than I was 25 years ago.
It started with crawling.
Omg i have l5-S1. Please let me know what you did and how you got started. Just crawling on feet and hands? For how long? Please please
Friend, you are confirming for me a theory I have had come back to me again and again in the past year while watching my son first crawl then learn to walk. God bless you sir, and your whole team.
That. Is. Quality. 💯Great filming and editing. Great job Josh!
You're a great man who cares about joint health and share your knowledge of great movements. Have a more power and share more videos please
Amazing Josh, incredible location and filming..... and more inspiration to move our bodies naturally!!
Josh this is so freaking good dude. "It's hard to communicate a feeling that can't be measured" This should be on PBS or something!
Absolutely loved that raw format and the shots used in that video are just stunning
I recently added crawling to my daily movement, thanks to this channel, wow did I quickly find out how bad my body condition and flexibility really was!
I’m really glad to see you acknowledge Tim at original strength. I’m looking forward to this series being 52 and in the same boat that you were once in.
ah you read the email :)
Incredible video. Love the beats too. My body feels so much better since subscribing and following your channel in 2020. Keep up the awesome work, Josh!
🙏 keep it upo :)
Yall's video quality is amazing, and has gotten even better over the last few months. Inspired by all of it.
thanks bro!
my bro, lovely video. Crawling is organic magic indeed 🙏🏼 Nice to see the swagger on your walk too ♾
Dope video - love the color grade, editing, audio, etc, but most of all the information
Hey there! Just wanted to let you know that I appreciate you guys so much! You‘ve got the by far the best and most healthy Fitness channel out there and I mean that with regards to physical as well as mental health! I‘ve signed up for a strength side membership and am doing the flexibility flow program right now. Hoping to buy msn once I‘ve saved enough money! 😊❤️
Thank you for taking the time and making the video 🙏🏼
Informative, well-spoken, esthetically pleasing video footage overall and an important message delivered in a beautiful box 📦
thank you!
continuing to inspire bro! Quality of video and info is unmatched!
thanks bro!
I LOVE this!!!! I have been touting this to my friends and family for the last few years.
I have been crawling since early 2019. I was 72 yrs old and, and did Tai Chi Yang short daily (still do), but the damage to my right knee was making doing the form difficult sometimes. One day I got down on the floor with a toddler and crawled around and had the thought that I would try crawling daily as an exercise. I discovered that it was (and) is healing my knees ... and the more I saw improvements had me looking for easier ways to get up and down from the floor and handle going up and down stairs without knee pain.
Awesome new style of editing and the way of picture taking the quality in general is unique!
Thx for this beautiful and honest information !
Big love to u
So simple and makes alot of sense. Thank you!
really inspiring, beautifully shot. I have been watching and learning from you two for several months and it has changed how I am feeling and moving. At 57, I am transforming! Thank you. Crawl on!
great work man and thank you!
This is my new favourite video on the internet, and you’re my new favourite human on the planet. Keep on🎉 I deeply resonate with this on a soul level. Infinite YES to natural reconnection!🎉
Blessings 🙏🏼
Can see a lot of improvements in the video. Great work man, keep up the good work🥰
I've been playing around with Animal Movements for a few years, it always feels good on my body and it has definitely gotten easier and less laborious over time. I definitely recommend that others play with it and explore it. This video is inspiring me to spend more committed time doing it.
I love this video for the wonderful mix of musical and visual experience melted into art. Honestly possibly the most capturing fitness video i ve seen so far. Also bc of the content and topic ofc. But the way the beats land on the visuals. Wow. Really enjoyable. Normally watching fitness videos is boring and rather not stimulating ... this one is different. Thank you.
I'm very new to all of this Josh, but I agree that developing a relationship with the ground is highly beneficial for the health of the body. Being tight and stiff in many areas I have to be patient and give all of this a lot of time. I now also spend some moments each day sitting cross legged and I am practising sitting in other positions on the floor, challenging hips, knees and feet. Although I'm unable to touch my toes at the moment I have strong enough legs to toes squat down to the ground without too much difficulty. One thing I have noticed is that my hands and my knees are complaining less about being in touch with the floor. Some resilience beginning to develop there!
sounds like resilience is coming your way! great work
I’m so glad I happened on your video! I had forgotten how valuable crawling is. Thank you.
I first heard about the benefits of crawling, and the work of the Doman brothers, about 1960, and was part of a team in the early 1960s that worked with a brain damaged baby. Every 4 hours, 2 to 4 people put the baby through a short crawling session.
I also attended a 2-3 day convention featuring Dr Doman in Philadelphia in 1979.
I don’t know why I’ve let it lapse, can’t wait to get started again. I wonder if it helps with the various forms of dementia since it benefits brain damaged babies and children.
YES, love this, thanks for giving us a simple (whether "easy" or not) beginning point
I've been training with you guys for several months now coming back from 3 years in a wheel chair and 5 additional not very mobile years. Couldn't do the bear crawl 4 steps 6 months ago. But can go across the gym and back now with much smoother movement!!! Feels very natural. It's made me so much stronger 💪 .... thanks for doing what you do!!!
excited for this series 🤙
Great ground movement video and especially love the Trinidad Beaches! Thank you
Impressive!
Seems almost essential for mobility. Thank you for thinking outside of the box!! This will absolutely be an add to my weekly movement strategy. 🔥💪🏾
great video! really enjoyed the quality! thanks josh
Thank you. Can’t wait for more.
You're one of my favorite youtubers. I feel inspired every time i watch your videos, and i always learn something new!
And with over a million subscribers, you're still humble enough to reply to us peasants.
Never change please :)
loved the style of this video. great job. keep this up!
just started this video and the intro is so well produced and engaging. great content as always but this feels leveled up!
When we were kids our dad used to train us and crawling was part of the ‘regime’. It’s super beneficial and everyone should do it
I've been dealing with a shoulder injury the last month and a bit that stopped me from training. Had a frustrating few weeks where every time I tried to do anything in the gym the pain reared its ugly head. About a week ago I started leaning more into Rope Flow and other movement like Crawling and Walking. My shoulder feels 80% better and I'm now able to hang and do other things that were causing pain before.
I did a rope flow and crawling session today outside at the park then saw this video. It's like the universe is sending me a message. Time to focus more on crawling and natural movement. Thanks for the great video and inspiration!
Yes, I am inspired. I appreciate your path and at 72, I don't need to reinvent the wheel. Thanks for all you share.
Really enjoyed watching this video - found it very calming.
Beautiful vídeo. Thank you and congratulations!
This is so well done
Very good video and content in every aspect of it. Great info and thinking. Thank you!
Dude, love your informative videos and good vibes. Keep it up! I
Wow !!! Simply Bravo. What an amazing video. It is ART. So so beautiful. Thank you for all the inspiration you put out there. Legend.
I knew that the channel is great for body health information, but the production is also very professional, the video is just pleasant to watch as a piece of art. Thank you and best wishes :)
58 yrs old and came across this video. I'm truly grateful and THANKFUL. I'm going to the beginning. I've never been told about crawling. My L3,L4, L5 and S1 sciatica nerve. Many aquatic therapy, chiropractic etc you understand.🙏🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹💪💪💪💪I Am.
Looking forward to the program you mention.
Great cinematography, great choice of music too. I can feel your passion in this video, and it's infectious. Keep sharing what you're interested in!
Thanks man I will!
GREAT info!!👍🏻
I'm gonna give a try to your Freebies and keep watching this series. Thanks
So glad to find you here on UA-cam. I am facing some crazy back surgery and my hips are tight and very weak.
Crazy cool information! Thank you! ✌️
Absolutely brilliant! With a history of back issues, I need take this way more seriously.
What a great video, informative and also aesthetically pleasing! Earned a sub. 😊
Excellent video.
This Video was just perfectly done! 👌
This is amazing. Thank you. God bless you and Mary keep you.
Inspired. And excited at the possibilities of crawling and reconnecting. Strengthening and healing!
Thank you! Really motivational!
this is why i’ve started calisthenics!! weight lifting never made me feel good but body weight weight * shifting has helped me… working my joints and moving all kinds of ways
great video!
Amazing production!
Excellent video
Your camera work is so good 👍🏻
Such a good video on all aspects!
Its suprising how many different muscle groups it activates. I only started crawling a year ago in relation to attempt a world record this year in July. Great video and highly recommend to anyone out there wishing to crawl, sounds crazy, but get to it. It does make you feel very grounded also.
the amount of knowledge these guys have given us. for free too
Fantastic!!
Love your evolution, you inspire me to start sharing my ideas & research on YT. Thank you 🙏🏼
That's great! Keep sharing :)
