Description

The Bear Crawl exercise is a full body workout that engages all the major muscle groups. The exerciser uses their hands and feet to crawl forward or backward across the floor.

How to Do Bear Crawl

1
Setup
Begin on all fours with your hands directly beneath your shoulders and knees under your hips. Lift your knees just an inch or two off the ground, maintaining a flat back and engaged core.
2
Initiate the crawl by simultaneously moving your right hand and left foot forward a short distance. Keep your hips level and avoid excessive rotation.
3
Immediately follow by moving your left hand and right foot forward in a synchronized manner. Focus on controlled, small movements rather than large strides.
4
Continue alternating opposing limbs, moving forward while keeping your head neutral and gaze slightly ahead. Maintain a consistent, low body position throughout.

Tips

Maintain a flat back throughout the movement; imagine balancing a glass of water on your lower back to prevent arching or rounding.
Keep your hips low and stable, minimizing any swaying or excessive rotation to maximize core engagement and improve overall control.
Focus on small, controlled steps rather than long strides to maintain constant tension and stability in your core and shoulders.
Actively brace your abdominal muscles as if preparing for a punch; this will stabilize your torso and protect your spine during the crawl.

Common Mistakes

×Raising hips too high compromises core engagement; instead, keep your hips low and aligned with your shoulders to maintain a strong, stable base.
×Moving same-side limbs together (e.g., right hand and right foot) disrupts balance; ensure you always move an opposite hand and foot simultaneously for proper coordination.
×Allowing your lower back to sag or arch can cause strain; instead, actively engage your core to maintain a neutral spine and stable torso.
