Lizard-crawl step-under
Quadrupedal patterns & conditioning
•
54s
THE WHAT:
A variation on the fundamental 'lizard-crawl' to widen the vocabulary & possibilities of close-floor, bent-arm strength (BAS) quadrupedal locomotion. Whilst the 'step-under' expresses greater transverse rotation of the body, most notably it serves to keep the HIPS as CLOSE to the floor as possible. Necessarily, the fundamental ‘Lizard crawl’ should be PROFICIENT before approaching practice of this variation.

Bridge walking (forward & back)
THE WHAT:
Whilst a simple conditioning context expressing capacities in the fundamental ‘High-bridge’ form, ‘Bridge-walking’ also challenges the practitioner’s structural-awareness & coordination. This is namely with regards to the SIMULTANEOUS stepping of the OPPOSITE hand/foot, making it a CONT... -
The ‘AT-AT walker’
THE WHAT:
A "high-gait" quadrupedal locomotion pattern inspired by the giant machine ‘AT-AT's’ of the Star Wars universe. Whilst restrictions in posterior-chain mobility can be the main challenge in adhering to the one and only rule in this context, keeping the backside as HIGH as possible throug... -
The Inch Worm
THE WHAT:
A conditioning locomotion pattern innately developing the range of the ankles in dorsiflexion (this comes from the intention working through a maximal extension & flexion each step which both loads in a stretched position, as well as strengthens through the concentric range), front-fold...
