This video explores a movement called "crab" or "crab pose." It's a position that is used in many different disciplines, including yoga, Animal Flow, gymnastics, functional training, corrective exercise... which speaks to just how useful it is.
The real power of the crab comes from its ability to counteract many of the damaging effects of sitting. The crab puts your hips into extension while engaging the glutes and keeping the spine neutral. It also opens up the shoulders and even encourages good head alignment and wrist mobility!
There are many different variations of this movement, too, such as the crab reach, crab walk, and toe touches. Each offer even more benefits and are amazing for movement flows.
Is this one you guys use? What exercises would you like me to spotlight in future?

​@@TheBioneerlol I'm wondering could you do a video on those of us that work always standing? I work in a standup forklift, and I noticed how stiff my hips and shoulder have become. I took me 4 months to finally be able to deep squat and do shoulder dislocations with a bar. I think it would be an interesting topic for your research: physically demanding jobs but with minimal movement. I did the math on total pounds I would lift in a day as a CNC operator (2,000 to 4,000lbs a day) and that's just picking up the weight off the floor. Now in my 30s I noticed I'm very strong but my mobility is atrocious 😂, my entire workout focus now is full ROM. Seeing great improvement because of your previous mobility videos, so thank you. Btw pullovers are possibly the best upper body weighted mobility movement ever!

The thing that made crab walk make sense for me initially was that you very naturally do it when making your way down a steep or slippery slope: crab position with your feet downhill along the path. As the path becomes very, very steep it eventually makes sense to turn over, but for a slope that's just slightly more challenging than safe to just walk down on two feet, crab walk makes perfect sense.

Feels like the kettlebell swing can do the same thing!

If you don't have the strength to get into these positions, or do any of these exercises, its extremely helpful just to lay back with a pillow under your back in a way that bridges the hips upwards. I used to teach yoga to many overweight and older people who couldn't hold themselves up, and I always included something like this in the class. It's usually called a supported fish pose. An added benefit of stretching the front side of the body, is that it relieves stress on the nerves and blood vessels that run through the hips and neck/shoulder creases.

What perfectly-timed crab! I was just looking into animal flow generally, because it's so _improvisational_ rather than rote. Grinding out a single maneuver over and over again is so boring it's like putting my brain on a bed of coals, but navigating my body like this is exactly what I've needed to get moving again.

To counteract rounded shoulders from long periods of sitting (I am an engineer and I do LOTs of sitting), I use the pullup bar hang and Gama casts with club and mace. For stretching I place a bo staff behind my head and reach for the ends with my hands. This creates a nice stretch for the shoulders and pecs while forcing them into proper posture.

I have been using most of these variations for years now, and they are all great. Only I know the basic position as a table or tabletop bridge. But yeah, it works as a stretch to the front of the body and as a strength and mobility exercise for the whole back of the body, especially hamstrings and glutes. I would reccomend everyone to add these to their regimen in some shape or form. Great advice as always, mate. Greetings from Spain.
