Bear Crawl

Core

This is less about looking cool and more about building core stability and shoulder strength under pressure. Get on your hands and feet with hips level—not piked up, not sagging down. Your shoulders are stacked over your wrists. Move forward by stepping your right hand and left foot, then left hand and right foot. Keep your core braced the entire time. Most people find the work happens as much in the shoulders as in the torso. Move slowly enough that you can feel every breath and every muscle staying tight.
