Humans are incredibly versatile and adaptable beings that can move and travel through space and different environments in a variety of ways. We can crawl, roll, walk, swim, climb, run, brachiate, jump, run, walk on all fours and more. A term “locomotive pattern” is a description of a movement of human body traveling through space.
As a movement and skill based strength training method, at Train P3, we believe locomotive patters are hugely important in developing a functional, strong and resilient humans and athletes. Today we are covering a quadrupedal pattern we call a beast crawl. Some call this a bear crawl and there are other names for it too. Regardless of what you call it, it is an important pattern to practice. The beast crawl a full body move which helps increase coordination, strengthens core, shoulders and hips and is a lot of fun! Recently coach Nerijus recorded a video for Qinetic describing the Beast Crawl, how to perform it and where it fits in your current training program.
