Each month, I'll highlight an exercise move that is great to include as part of your workout routine! Up next...
Depending on the space available, continue to move forward until you need to turn around and continue in the opposite direction. Aim to keep it up for 45-60 seconds and repeat this 3-5 times.
This is a great full body move which targets the shoulders, arms, core, legs and glutes! If you want to maximise your fitness gains, then crawling is the way to go – it's tough but worth it. As your strength improves you can increase the duration of this move and it becomes a great cardio and strength move in one.
Build up your pace over time as your strength and form improves. The faster you move, the more you'll get out of this exercise in terms of overall fitness – but correct form is vital so don't speed up until you're ready. Increase your duration and number of sets to up the intensity over time!
