I have discovered that Leopard Crawling can be a really tough exercise for me. So tough that five sets of crawling 60 feet forwards and 60 backwards can be a workout all by itself. Leopard Crawling has a host of benefits. It can be healing to the body while also strengthening. Geoff and Tim challenge people to work up to crawling ten minutes straight. If you are crawling with proper form, and keep the hips and shoulders level to the ground, ten minutes can be very challenging. Geoff said that crawling builds work capacity, and makes everything else easier.
All that being said, how would you work crawling in with S&S? Since Leopard Crawling is tough enough to be its own workout, I wouldn't want to combine it with a S&S session except for a small amount of crawling as a warmup. Would it make sense to have separate days designated for more challenging crawling sessions, maybe alternating days of crawling with S&S? Or would that diminish the results of S&S?
I know that too much variety can be a bad thing, and it is generally best to stick with a program. But it almost looks to me like these two things could be complimentary to one another.
