Bear Crawls
In this video, Dr. Brian Damhoff demonstrates the **Bear Crawl**—a full-body, no-equipment movement that torches core, shoulders, and coordination. Keep hips level, back flat (use a cup or phone on your back for feedback), and crawl forward/backward with opposite arm/leg sync.
🔥 Benefits of the Bear Crawl:
