Spidey Crawl
Targets: Back, chest, arms, abs, butt, and legs
- Get in full push-up position on floor, arms extended with wrists under shoulders, body forming a straight line from head to heels.
- Step right foot forward to bring right knee toward right elbow as you reach forward with left hand.
- Switch sides, bringing left knee toward left elbow as you reach forward with right hand.
- Remaining in crouched position throughout, continue crawling forward for 30 seconds and then reverse movement to return to start. (No space? Alternate crawling two steps forward and then two steps back.)
Trainer's Tip: Don't let your hips rise too far up as you crawl.
I just went to the IHRSA Fitness Convention in Downtown L.A., and the machines get fancier and fancier, but the truth is that bodyweight exercises are still a great way to go! We don't need machines to get into shape, we just need consistency and commitment.
