Cool crawling variation I’ve been playing with that is great for the back, shoulders and core……if done correctly.

You don’t want a resistance band that is too heavy, just enough resistance to make the stabilising muscles work a little harder. Notice the setup at the start, I drop my hips down and ROTATE ELBOWS OUT. Pit of the elbows should face forward. This is about SLOW CONTROLLED MOVEMENTS with the PELVIC TUCKED TOWARDS THE HEAD and SHOULDER BLADES PULLED DOWN AND BACK and good head position. Try and maintain a good box shape with the resistance band throughout.

One study has shown that this kind of quadruped position gets the best lower trap activation, which is essential in shoulder blade and shoulder function. Tucking the hips is also going to fire the core to achieve correct pelvic tilt, something that can be a key problem for lower back pain. ???
