Other/Mixed - Crawling “club”

So I have long thought about doing a period of training where I make crawling a larger priority. I already incorporate it as a warmup and as a reset pretty much everyday. I’d like to see where I am able to go with it if I actually try and progress it in various ways. It is pretty variable after...

Here is the group crawling log!

Anyone who is trying crawling, getting into it, or already is doing it can post about it here. The idea is to have a place where we can share how it is going, any benefits we are seeing, ask each other questions, etc.

The only "rules" for the crawling log are that you crawl and please keep discussion centered around crawling :) You may post about exercises to improve crawling if needed (if you are progressing towards some advanced crawl such as a lizard crawl).

There are no other guidelines. You can crawl for 1 minute a day, 60 minutes a day, you can crawl using any type of crawl. Any type of crawling for any length of time or frequency is welcome.

Feel free to tag me here if you have any questions about this thread. Looking forward to seeing who joins and what we can accomplish!

Six Week Crawling Plan Part 1 - Hardstyle Kettlebell

Crawling works your muscles like you wouldn't believe and it does wonders for your core. Check out this six week crawling plan!

So I started this program Monday. It's a great program but I'm sore as hell! Not stopping anytime soon! I've noticed a bunch of body comp changes with just the few days I've been doing it. I'm enjoying the change of pace. Covered 60 meters using the alligator crawl and leopard crawl in the allotted time.

I got great results from Louka's plan when I did it some years back. I'll post a link to part 2 when I have some time.

EDIT: here is Crawling plan part 2

Crawling is very humbling…i started with baby crawls when I was rehabbing a broken foot. Now I have all of my students do them periodically in our PE classes as a warm up or cool down. I try to use that time to do it with them. I’ll see if i can program it in more to my own and theirs. I just got an ingrown toenail removed though, so maybe I’ll start next week…lol.
 
Today's crawling practice:

~8 minutes of forwards/backwards leopard crawl with the bridge- reaches at the end.

I haven't done any duration of crawling in a long while. I always forget how taxing it can be. It has its own kind of fatigue, too. A very "full body fatigue."
 
Read the manual !!! I looked at the table in the above plan and thought that was the total crawling time each day. Its not, it is total time including rest time and crawl time with 15-30 sec rests between crawls.

So the good news is I've done most of todays work as a GTG spread across several hours (aiming for 18min total crawl time) and the bad news is the muscles on topside of thighs between my kneecaps and my hips ache a bit.
 
Hi:

today I tried, as a morning recharge (I hope):
3 sets of 4 minutes, (30seconds on, 30 off, both backwards and front) resting 3 - 4 minutes between sets.
->so 12 30s reps, total time crawling 6 minutes.
last reps starting to be challenging for me, but doable, I wouldn't do more of them, lets see how I feel and train later in the day.
Have a nice day!
 
Day 3 : 8min crawling 6 min rest. knees off ground. Capable of 70 paces in 60sec on flat straight route.
Tried uphill downhill - uphill much easier think of inclined vs declined pushups, downhill is similar to a series of declined OAOL planks and quite difficult.
Tried Backwards - Awkward
Mostly outside on grassed 15 degree slope but tried some figure 8s on a 2.4 x 1.8m rubber mat in the shed, awkward. Backwards fig 8s even more awkward. 8s seem to be good way to use a small space.
Bike ride, crawling, deadhangs, kettlebell hip orbits and kbell 8s. Total time 60min
 
Great thread. Just started crawling this week. Due to tendonitis in my right hand I’m not to hard grip anything for some weeks, so no kettlebells.
I found Louka’s no kettlebells S&S on YouTube


I’ve done two sessions so far this week. Crawling for 45 seconds (1rep), toes and hands, forward and backwards, rest, repeat 5 times.
Much harder than I imagined!
 
Hello,
I incoorporate crawling to my regular training again. I try to do 10 Sets of 30 seconds crawling with 30 seconds pause for 6 days a week. Today was the third day. In a few weeks I plan to do the next step in form of shorten the pause and crawl for a few seconds longer until the next steady state. Perhaps I reach the 10 minutes nonstop crawling.
