The ‘AT-AT walker’
'Quadrupedal' locomotion: foundational patterns & conditioning
•
2m 0s
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 throughout, it will in turn help to develop the USABILITY of that front-folding range through a dynamic, applied movement context (i.e. moving through space).

The ‘Table Walk’ conditioning pattern
THE WHAT & HOW:
A fundamental, supine locomotion pattern which, whilst following the same coordination as the basic 'Crab walk', emphasises the range of shoulder-extension (i.e. arms behind the body's mid-line) used by keeping the hips as HIGH as possible. For this reason, in its isolated practic... -
Travelling Straddle (forward & back)
THE WHAT & HOW:
A quadrupedal locomotion pattern progressing from the 'Travelling Squat', toward functioning as both a straddle-conditioning (dynamic compression) and straight-arm scapular-strength/SASS (sustaining the weight of the body in the arms) development tool.LEARN MORE (subscriber-only...

The 'Cross-step' (basic step)
THE WHAT:
A fundamental quadrupedal-locomotion pattern for lateral movement (i.e. side-to-side). The 'Cross-step' opens up potential for complexity as you step THROUGH and AROUND your structure, offering opportunities for twisting, turning, rotating... Toward this, a few variations are presented ...
