Movement Challenge of the Week: 30 Foot Bear Crawl Test

This one might look a little goofy… but don’t let it fool you. The bear crawl is a highly functional movement that EVERYBODY should be able to do, and if it’s tough, it may reveal movement faults we need to work on.

🔥 The Challenge
✔️ Get into bear position with shoulders over hands, hips over knees, and toes tucked
✔️ Lift knees 1 to 2 inches off the floor
✔️ Crawl 30 feet forward
✔️ Crawl 30 feet backward
✔️ Keep a coffee cup or ball on your back the entire time

Sounds easy? Just wait until you go backwards 😅

This test is a great expression of
✅ Upper extremity strength
✅ Core stability including lumbar and cervical control
✅ Hip strength
✅ Coordination with opposite arm and opposite leg
✅ Balance and endurance

If the cup falls, no big deal. Reset and keep going. Even high level athletes get challenged by this one 👀

🎥 Try it at home and post your video below.

Exercise of the Week: Front Foot Elevated Split Squat w/ Hinge🔥

If you want stronger glutes, better balance, and less knee discomfort, this one is a must. Elevating the front foot increases range of motion and helps you load the hips properly instead of overusing the knees.

This is one of our go-to movements for runners, lifters, and anyone who wants to move better going up stairs or getting off the floor.

Dosage

✔ 2–3 sets of 8–12 reps per side
✔ Move slow and controlled
✔ Focus on balance and muscle engagement, not speed

Have you tried split squats before? Do you feel them more in your glutes or your quads? Drop a comment below 👇

Strong ankles = stronger EVERYTHING!

If your feet and ankles aren’t stable, nothing up the chain like your knees, hips, and back is going to work the way it should. The good news is it doesn’t take anything fancy. Just three simple exercises you can do anywhere.

Try this routine:
1️⃣ Gastroc heel raises with straight knees
2️⃣ Soleus heel raises with bent knees
3️⃣ Toe raises to strengthen the front of your shins

Hold each rep for five seconds. Aim for about 20 reps each. Focus on going all the way up on your toes or bringing your toes all the way up toward your nose. That is where the real activation happens.

Consistency > complexity.

Push-Up Challenge: Where Did You Land?

Did you hit 40+ reps? That’s a strong reflection of your overall health and consistency with exercise. Keep it up!

Got 10–15 or just a few? Great starting point. Progress is built one rep at a time.

Couldn’t do one yet? That’s okay too. Everyone starts somewhere and we’ve got you covered.

Here’s how to level up safely:
✔️ Start with knee push-ups same form, less load
✔️ Still tough? Try incline push-ups on a table or couch
✔️ Train every other day
✔️ Perform 3 to 5 sets of as many quality reps as you can
✔️ Rest 2 to 4 minutes between sets
✔️ Progress reps before moving to full push-ups

⚠️ No shoulder pain allowed. If something hurts, let’s figure out why. You should be able to do some variation pain free.

The goal isn’t perfection. It’s progress!

The Neck Plank Extension helps build endurance in the deep neck and upper back muscles that support good posture. It’s especially helpful for people who sit for long hours, work at a computer, or feel neck fatigue by the end of the day.

How to do it:
👉 Start in a forearm plank position (on knees or toes)
👉 Keep your core engaged and spine neutral
👉 Gently extend your neck by lifting your head slightly
👉 Hold briefly, then return to neutral
👉 Keep the motion controlled — no jerking or straining

Dosage:
✔️ 2–3 sets of 8–12 reps
✔️ Move slow & controlled
✔️ Focus on endurance, not speed

Stiff hips make everything harder, bending down, crouching, playing with your kids or grandkids, even getting up and down stairs. And when your hips don’t move well, your lower back usually pays the price!
In this video, we walk you through 4 simple moves you can start TODAY to improve hip mobility and protect your spine:

✔️ Deep Squat Hold (toes forward, knees out, feet down!)
✔️ 90-90 Hip Rotations
✔️ Child’s Pose variations
✔️ Pigeon Pose for a deep hip stretch

You don’t have to be perfect. Start where you are. A few minutes a day can make a BIG difference in how you move and feel.

Better hip mobility means easier movement, less strain on your low back, and more confidence in everyday life.

💬 COMMENT “HIPS” if you want a follow along routine
👍 LIKE if you found this helpful
🔁 SHARE with someone who complains about tight hips or low back pain
📌 SAVE this and try it later

Let’s keep moving 💪
