Bear - Bent Arm, Straight Legs
The Locomotion Collection
•
1m 8s
Set Up:
Start on all fours with hands stacked under shoulders and knees under hips
Rotate elbow pits forward to help set shoulders
Tuck toes under
Actively press into the floor and lift hips to the ceiling (achieving an “A” position)
If mobility allows, drop heels towards the floor and keep as straight of a leg position as possible.
Think about extending as “tall” as possible, decreasing space between shoulders and ears
Moving backwards stepping opposite hand and foot. Think about pushing away from the floor.
As you step, try to think about moving through your shoulders instead of solely bending at the elbow.
