Killer crawling moves for sure shot weight loss

Ever saw a baby crawl? If you keenly watch his movement, the right hand corresponds with the left leg. Now if you try crawling, you will realize that bringing the contra-lateral movement (opposite limbs coordination) is a challenge for most of us since our lifestyle has moved us away from the natural form. This is where crawling workouts come into play. They help us realign the fundamental movements into our fitness routine. Kamal Chitkara from Reebok Crossfit Robust tells you crawling techniques that will help you lose weight…

Sideways Baby Crawl

This move involves baby crawl sideways. Keep your core strong as you move.
Bear Crawl

For bear crawl, you have to bring the opposite arm and opposite leg up at the same time. Unlike the baby crawl, your knees are not touching the ground. When you do the bear crawl, make sure you don’t raise your hips too much.
Gorilla Crawl

Inch-worm

To do an inchworm, stand on your feet. Hinge from your hips and walk your hands in front of you as far as you can. Once you are in an extended plank position, walk back to your feet. This is a great dynamic move that can also be done for warm up.
