This is a great workout for teams. I recommend using teams of three. The emphasis, unlike most team relays, if on form versus speed. The coaches at Pat’s Gym got together to do this workout. The weights listed were used by me and another coach.
People always ask me what does a bear crawl work? I always respond, try them and you can answer that question. Bear crawls are one of the best core exercises around. Bear crawls also work the upper and lower body extremely well.
The focus of a bear craw is on pulling with your core. When you do a bear craw, you need to focus on keeping your hips level and down, which will emphasize your shoulders and hips.
