How do you perform Bear Crawl?
- Start in a high plank position with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart and your feet hip-width apart.
- Bend your knees and bring them under your hips.
- Your hips and knees are bent at 90 degrees.
- Your knees don’t touch the ground.
- Take small steps forward with your hands and feet.
- Your hips and knees remain bent.
- Keep your abs and glutes tight and stay low to the floor.
- You can travel a certain distance and then turn or come back backwards. That will depend on the place you have.
Common faults
- Lifting the hips way too high so that the back is no longer parallel to the ground.
- Extending the elbows during the movement.
- Lifting the head during the exercise.
- Insufficient contraction of the abdominal muscles during the exercise.
