Build Strength and Stability.
Carolyn is in the gym to demonstrate the crab walk, a fun and challenging exercise that targets your arms, shoulders, core, and glutes. This bodyweight move is excellent for improving coordination, stability, and overall functional strength.
How to Perform the Crab Walk: Start in Position: Sit on the floor with your feet flat and hip-width apart. Place your hands behind you, fingers pointing toward your feet. Lift Your Hips: Press through your hands and feet to lift your hips slightly off the floor, creating a tabletop position. Move Forward: Step your right hand and left foot forward simultaneously, followed by your left hand and right foot. Keep Going: Continue moving forward for a set distance, then reverse the motion to return to your starting point.
Why It’s Effective: The crab walk engages multiple muscle groups, including your glutes, hamstrings, triceps, and core. It also enhances coordination and builds endurance, making it a great addition to any functional training program.
Pro Tip from Carolyn: Keep your hips elevated throughout the movement to maximize engagement in your glutes and core. Take small, controlled steps to maintain balance and form.
