The bear crawl is a fantastic full body exercise that can be used to develop a blend of strength and cardiovascular fitness.

Muscles Used - Shoulders, Trunk (Core) & Glutes


Equipment - Bodyweight Only


Why Use This Exercise?

  1. To build strength and stability at the shoulder and hip

  2. Develop core stability and control which transfers to sporting movements

  3. Great for bodyweight conditioning with minimal equipment

When Use This Exercise?

  1. Great to use in a warm up as a full body primer exercise (don't do it to fatigue)

Common Errors
