Crawling – A Full Body Cardio Exercise

Crawling – A Full Body Cardio Exercise

Crawling – Once we learned how to walk, we thought we would never go back.

We’d found a much easier more efficient way to get around and we could run, which got us places faster.

So why on earth would we go back to crawling?!?

Because it is a great full body cardio exercise! And it’s a really hard one at that! (Plus you can do it anywhere even if you don’t have a ton of space!)

It’s so hard that many of us can’t really remember how to get our bodies to do the movement. We lack the coordination we once had.

Once we learn how to crawl again, not only can we improve our coordination, but we can also strengthen our core and improve our cardiovascular conditioning.

Here’s how to do a basic crawl and some regressions and fun variations to get you started!
