In the programs
None of our programs use the Bear Crawl
It is in the app, so you can add it to any session and log it like anything else. It is just not written into one of our 50 free programs. If you want a full body exercise that is, there are 12 on the Full Body page.
Technique
How to do the Bear Crawl
- Start on all fours with your hands under your shoulders and your knees under your hips, then lift your knees an inch off the floor.
- Step one hand and the opposite foot forward at the same time.
- Repeat with the other hand and foot, keeping your knees low and your back flat.
- Keep crawling for the set distance or time.
Form cues
Getting it right
- Keep your knees just above the floor the whole time.
- Keep your hips level and avoid swaying side to side.
- Take small, controlled steps rather than rushing.
- Look at the floor just ahead of your hands to keep your neck neutral.

Let the app run the Bear Crawl for you
Durata picks the weight, times your rest and adds load when you earn it. That works on any of our 50 free programs, or on a session you put together yourself.
