Travelling Straddle (forward & back)
'Quadrupedal' locomotion: foundational patterns & conditioning
•
1m 10s
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.

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 ... -
Fundamental 'Lizard-crawl' progressions
THE WHAT & HOW:
The 'lizard crawl' is a quadrupedal locomotion pattern which develops understanding of movement through space as close to the floor as possible, WITHOUT touching the body. Before entering these lower regions, however (i.e the 'Low-lizard'), coordination, structural-awareness, stre... -
Lizard-crawl step-under
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 ...
