Bodyweight Training

Crab Walk exercise

The crab walk is a bodyweight exercise that strengthens the shoulders, triceps, glutes, hamstrings, and core while improving coordination and mobility. Performed in a reverse tabletop position, it challenges stability and activates multiple muscle groups simultaneously. This functional movement is great for warm-ups, agility training, and full-body conditioning.
