Bear Crawl
I recently reintroduced the bear crawl into my exercise routine and was surprised by how challenging it was, even though I had stopped doing it just a few months prior. It’s a superb core-building exercise that requires enough space to perform the across-the-floor movement. It’s also an excellent outdoor exercise, though the neighbor’s dog might bark at you.

Step 1: Start on your hands and knees in a pushup position. Your arms should be straight, your palms flat, and the balls of your feet should be on the floor.
Step 2: Simply crawl across the floor on your hands and feet without touching your knees to the floor. Move slowly, taking up to 2 seconds for each step.
Step 3: This counts as 1 repetition. Try to perform 30 steps per set and 3 sets.

Feel free to experiment with sets, repetitions, walking patterns, and performance speed. Count on this exercise to be surprisingly challenging at first, and know that you’ll improve with practice.
