Everybody loves a good lizard crawl.
Technique:
- Get into a pushup position and take your legs out a bit wider then your shoulders and lower yourself a little closer to the floor
- Focus on keeping your torso rigid and resisting rotation of your trunk as your arms and legs move, like a lizard.
- Pack your neck to promote better posture and neck health
- Stop if you have any pain
Key Points:
- This is an advanced exercise used as a progression from planks and deadbug variations. It also requires a lot of shoulder stability and hip mobility.
- It stresses stability of the core(spinal segments) and shoulders
- Start slowly
- Progress by crawling closer to the floor, taking larger steps or going for longer distances
- Overuse or a lack of progression to crawling can be especially tough on the shoulders and elbows
Give it a shot and let me know how it goes,
