Love the bear crawl. I used to always have severe cramps after an intense work out, but the first time I practised the bear crawl, was the first time I had no cramps and woke up without any pain in my back. It’s a part of my karate school warm ups and cool down sessions.
I’d be the Fuckn laughing stock of the gym if I did this shit…
Wow! This video was awesome; from the music, presentation, lighting, visuals and the variation of exercises. One of the best workout videos I’ve seen.
Why isn’t this channel blowing up? You’re awesome. Somebody sponsor this guy.
I do a lot of uphill bear crawls at the park. Love em! Will definitely add these to my work..THANKS FOR THE GREAT VIDEO!!
Ben, I agree, I do “crabbing” (the old football drill I think you will remember) every day as a part of my WOD.
ahh dude, I see that you need better synergy when moving 1 arm at the same time moving 1 leg too, I saw reverse thing here. Cuz it’s like cross coordination.. Basically all walks were out of cross synergy… Or I know complete nothing…. I love crawling tho, I do them everyday as warm ups.
This time I’ll use Unflexal workouts guide to learn about it more.
if i did the alligator crawl in the gym, i would be on one of those gym fail videos the very same day…….
Video demo is excellent. Definitely pick better music though…:(
I need somebody to create a 4 week workout routine utilizing these core exercises….
I sit on the floor a lot. Recently I’ve spontaneously started crawling around my small apartment. Feels good.✌
Take an already fit model have him crawl around doing stupid shit = make idiots believe that dumb shit actually works…
Thank you for watching! In this blog post you can find more detailed instructions and tips on how to incorporate these movements in your training ➞ http://bit.ly/bear-walks
Oh gosh all these exercises look painfully awesome. Just looking at them makes my core burn like it’s nuked.
I really like everything you dish out here…awesomeness should be your middle name…
It‘s magic! Crawling always helps with back pain whatever location it is. I do it in my flat. I‘m lacking the muscles for crawling downhill. I‘m 63 . Thank you, your advice is very helpful
Crawls are no joke… especially if you try them with turf toe.
According to you which animal movement is best for legs like not only from this video
Pretty soon, he would be crawling on the walls.. this guy is mad fit
That’s a lot to take in, I would assume that sticking to a mere 2 to 4 of these there’d be results.
That body though…..ohMygawD.
I’m certain that achieving this level of results nutrition is monumental.
Eero are you going to do anymore location/travel videos? Hope you are well buddy
1. It seems like most of them are just versions of the bear crawl (which btw, I have never heard that term until just now)
2. How much did Rogue pay for product placement?
Great video, my only objection is that you state this exercise is good for “every client and athlete”. I agree if my client is an athlete this is a good exercise however if my client is just your everyday mom who just had a baby, or an man trying to exercise for the first time since college I would not introduce this to them. So I guess what I am saying is if I made this video I would not say “every” client but specific clients who have demonstrated that can do progressive exercises well before attempting this one.
How do you work crawling into your workouts? One of my favorite ways is to make crawl over objects like a downed tree or 2×4 to make it a challenging balance practice!
My hood has a huge, HUGE, field. My problem? Getting past the idea that someone is going to call the cops and/or the psych ward when they see a grown man crawling in the grass. Lord…
What’s the music in this?
Very nice and well put together video; showing you the details of the movement
So Jesse, the main purpose of the bear crawl is to stimulate what improvements exactly? The static contractions in the shoulders and quads seem to stimulate strength improvements to an extent but as motor efficiency improves as the exercise is continuously introduced it seems that without progressive changes in the stimulus (making it more challenging) the benefits from a bear crawl would seem to be short lived. Your thoughts? Thanks for the video.
I usually do a similar backwards crawl in a hill as the one you showed and it is a lot harder than it looks. On a longer hill the abs feel like they are going to explode. Backwards crab-walk and bridge walk are also murderous on a hill.
yeah, i will attempt the baby crawl.. as for the rest, not so sure
Can I do this while having piriformis and glute pain due to fall?
How do u always sweat so much. Is it the pre-workout meals u having?
P.e class who. I hate p.e but exercise is important ♀️
We have to go from a squat out and then push up and then back in
So basically the bear walkout but with a push up in between and then we have to jump out from our squat and repeat
I mean it’s not super bad but after repeated exercises it hurts
Great video. I will implement almost all of these into my strength and conditioning workout.
I can’t even lie, I must have watched this video dozen times already, his body is simply gorgeous
I’d like to know Doctor Ben, I’m not a doctor do you have training of some description? Are you a kinesiologist or something else? Is movement a passion that you’ve studied on your own. I’d like to know where your coming from when you’re teaching in these videos. Thank you very much
Thank for this! Is it still crawling if youre in the same position you demonstrated, but with knees off the floor. In your video still shot you ha e knees off the floor, I have been doing this animal movement for a warmup and it takes more work, but I was wondering if its the same thing as crawling with knees on the floor.
But why did he seem like he was dancing the whole entire time?!? I’m so ready to go to the gym tomorrow!
Only if your videos could be slower with explanation for beginners
Omg the music!!! This was perfect I felt like an attentive student
How i did not know about crawls before!? These are perfect after each lift and you want to rest, but do this instead… amazing form.
I lost it when he started to do the crab crawl movement so perfectly
Hey bro, great video here. I was actually going to feature it in my next video and link to your channel! Was wondering if you could check me out, and maybe sub:)
Thanks for the video very tricky to do for various body types
Brilliant stuff! It looks easy until you do them. The scapular bear walks got me, I could bearly do a few (no pun intended).
omg, I am so jealous because His physical is so freaking perfect.
we plumbers do these movements except the handstand in dimly lit attics and crawl spaces. crawling over and under ducts dragging tools and materials through wet dirt, debris,insulation, high temperatures. Maybe listening to ghetto Shit would make it a workout.
I just found my favorite men’s health guy…does he have his own youtube channel? etc…
Eero, thank you for your movements creativity! I’ve been doing these types of bear walks for several months now and it improved my shoulder mobility and scapular strength. Plus, it stretches and mobilizes lower back and spine in general. Currently I normally do this either as a finisher for my workout or as a part of my shoulder routine: 20 yards each non-stop Bear Forward walk, Right Walk, Left and then Backward. Sometimes I add Frogger and Inchworms in there too if I want to do rounds. Again, thank you!
Is that a bear or spider man? These look like a lot of fun. Might be funny to try after a few drinks on Friday night.
MAN, WATCHING THIS VIDEO IS BE (ZING)COMING) “UNBEARABLE”!!!
The guy doing these exercises in this video must got “TOO MUCH” time on his schedule to becoming up with moves!!1
weight vest would be much safer and more effective than weight plate
