More dynamic warm up and flexibility fun w/ the straight leg bear crawl. For an alternative warm up, to increase flexibility, improve agility and body control try a 10 yard bear crawl with a sprint back and repeat. Add more reps and or distance to improve conditioning. Mix in a crab crawl and back pedal for variation. Remember to keep hips high on both the crab and bear crawl. You’ll increase shoulder and hip mobility, as well as, improving trunk and core strength. These total body exercises are sure to provide some added stimulus to your training. Throw these old school moves in for an alternative to your tired old jog or treadmill routine.
To add resistance, partner up for a loaded bear crawl and let the fun begin.
