One of the most basic crawls is the bear-crawl, which involves keeping your hips high in the air with your arms and legs straight. If you haven\u2019t crawled since you were a baby, the bear crawl is a good way to ease back in.<\/p>\n
Another version, the spider-crawl is a lot harder than the bear-crawl. Instead of keeping your hips up, the spider-crawl has you bending your arms and legs while keeping your hips down. Imagine you are trying to get through a narrow tunnel without letting your belly touch the ground.<\/p>\n Please share and comment. \u00a0Let me know if you have questions.<\/p>\n Stay safe and crawl on,<\/p>\n Aaron Zamzow<\/p>\n www.firerescuefitness.com<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n You read that heading correctly, crawling is one of the best exercises for firefighters. \u00a0 I actually think it is in the top 10 (you can find out my other 9 “best” exercises by clicking the link to the “10 Best” image on the right).\u00a0 Crawling is a great exercise to work core stability, strengthen…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":7066,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[190,193,80],"tags":[273,73],"class_list":["post-2501","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-best-exercise-for-firefighters","category-fire-rescue-exercises","category-fire-rescue-workouts","tag-firefighter-exercise","tag-firefighter-workout"],"acf":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/paAEPz-El","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":false,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/firerescuefitness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/crawling.jpg?fit=1509%2C1089&ssl=1","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/firerescuefitness.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2501","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/firerescuefitness.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/firerescuefitness.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/firerescuefitness.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/firerescuefitness.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2501"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/firerescuefitness.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2501\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9687,"href":"https:\/\/firerescuefitness.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2501\/revisions\/9687"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/firerescuefitness.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7066"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/firerescuefitness.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2501"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/firerescuefitness.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2501"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/firerescuefitness.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2501"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"crawling\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/firerescuefitness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/crawling.jpg\")

These are 5 and 10 minute intervals performed at the end of your workouts (click here to read more about interval overhauls<\/a>). \u00a0You can crawl for distance (20- 50 feet) or for time, then repeat.<\/p>\nWant to learn how to incorporate fireground movements into your workout program?\u00a0 Click here to discover this Ultimate Workout Program.<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
