Crawl & Conquer: Part 2Crawling For Conditioning
Crawling is the most primal locomotive movement once practiced by the human race. It loads the entire body, challenges dynamic stability and mobility, and will have your heart pumping out of your chest and the sweat pouring down your face!
Just because we are using crawling for conditioning doesn’t mean we can slack off on our form and technique. Deliberate movement is a necessity to both challenge your cardio-respiratory system, and to teach your body to handle the beating while under lots of fatigue and stress.
๐Here is a quick rundown of what was taught in my last post are a few keys to enhance your crawling form:
• Assume neutral position in your upper extremities (hands, elbows, shoulders all in alignment), lower extremities (knees under hips) and core (spine parallel with ground)
• Limit deviation of the spine from neutral while reaching and stepping
• Short, controlled steps will maximize your joint angulation and positioning (keeping you healthy)
• Only go as fast as you can control your body position. The more time under tension (TUT), the more challenging it is, so slow down!
• Do not limit your crawl to just forward. Try backwards and side stepping.

Without further adue here is one of my favorite ever conditioning movements utilizing the bear crawl…
This is a bit more of an Advanced primal movement but can be done from a static holding position as well as the one you see in the video ๐๐
Time To Start Crawling on All Fours!
It’s time to get back to the basics. Programming out of the quadruped position will do more than brush burn your knees. It will give your body the stimulus that it has been seeking for optimal motor performances ever since you decided to stand and walk! With endless possibilities of movement and exercise
options out of this position, there is no excuse not to work these movements into your:
• warm up,
• activation technique
or....
• conditioning session.
So....Quit being a baby, and get crawling!
If nothing else, remember KOHAN’s LAW And hopefully this will re-motivate you to keep up with the crawling.
