HOW TO LIZARD CRAWL / WALK 🦎 | animal movement flow

- Movement pattern for awareness and pushing strength
This animal movement requires plenty of shoulder strength and chest engagement as you slither your way across the floor 💪 Great as a hip opener and mobilisation tool too
As you build strength work your way closer to the floor ⬇️ No rush ⛔ Concentrate on good form and increase time under tension
Limited space? Practise keeping one side of your body tucked (elbow and knee touching) while extending the opposite arm and leg. Then change sides. Archer pushups extending one arm in front of the body (rather than side) will help with prerequisite strength
Have fun with this cool looking movement

Have you tried animal style movements? What's your favourite animal movement?
The Sloth seems pretty great to me.
I like what I call the eagle 🦅 It’s mostly using imagination combined with full stretch of the arms and exhaling every last bit of air out and soar as u inhale and glide as you exhale and slow flow movements - really opens up the energy/chi circuits.
The cougar
What is the recommended repetitions?
Owen you are crazy strong in this video. I love animal movements but it's hard finding a safe space. When my son caught me spiderman crawling, the look of disappointment.
No rambling, no fluff, no nonsense. Straight to the point, from different angles with slow motion. 10/10! Thank you!
Glad it help 🙏🏼 how’s your animal movement journey going? What kind of training do you enjoy?
@@OwenJackson As a man in his mid forties who also lifts I need a lot of mobility movements so I've been doing animal flow for about two years. Now I'm looking to other forms of crawling which I find them a very fun way to get very mobile and flexible.
@@jvm-tv love your outlook and finiding new challenges with an emphasis on longevity and movement complexity 🙌 All the best to you and hope our paths cross one day, I'll keep an eye for a chap doing lizard crawls, I'll see you there! Where are you based?
@@OwenJackson I'm in Europe! 🙂
no steroids, no sex
This is one of those exercises that look very easy but are pretty difficult
Once you have the basic pattern it becomes easier. But you're correct it is very demanding for sure. A wonderful movement. Do you enjoy other animal movements?
It looks easy for beasts like him that is
totally achievable Sophi, build up following the steps in the video. I have faith you can achieve amazing things! 🦎 Have you tried the beginner steps?
I have been suffering from the hips and low back for years. I am not going to say this fixed my problem, but undoubtfully it is making a big difference. Thanks a bunch for sharing.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience 🙏 It's heartening to hear the movement has been making a positive impact for you. While everyone's journey with pain management is unique, it's wonderful to know that you're noticing improvements. Keep up the great work, and please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need further support. Wishing you continued progress and relief, Owen ✌️
I learned the advanced lizard walk years ago, and somehow 10 years later I can still do it!
love to hear you're enjoying movement and still enjoying the lizard crawl. What other movement patterns do you incorporate in your training? All the best with your training and health
Очень понравился ваш ролик! Все по полочкам! Успехов вам!
Спасибо 🙏
Believe me when I say that doing the advanced version backwards is the hardest thing you'll ever attempt.
Intense 🦎 😅
I will def get started on this. Great video. TY.
Glad it was helpful! Let me know your progress 🦎 🙌🏻
perfect, I finally got the coordination right with the beginner method, I just couldn't wrap my head around it
So pleased Michael. Awesome work 🙌 keep me posted on your journey
I have now been intrigued in animal style movements, they’re fun, cool looking and have amazing benefits. The problem I have with starting lizard crawl is coordination, but I will keep practicing and improve!!
That's fantastic to hear! Animal-style movements like the lizard crawl can indeed be captivating with their fluidity and strength-building benefits. Coordination might feel tricky at first, but with consistent practice, you'll find yourself improving steadily. Celebrate every little progress along the way, and remember, every stumble is just a step closer to mastering it. Keep at it, and you'll soon be crawling with confidence 🦎
Short and to the point. Thank you for the brilliant tutorial.
Pleased you found it useful and informative Freili. Comments like this make my day 🙂 All the best on your animal movement journey 🦎
Hands down the best tutorial I found! You got my sub! This is very difficult for me as I have very tight hips, but I will train it and improve! Thanks 🙏🏻
Awesome! Thank you so much, you got this 🙌 Keep enjoying movement and feel free to check out some of the full body routines also listed on the channel 😃
Also keep most of your weight in your legs, I just figured this out and it allowed me to get low to the ground like he did.
Best demonstration i have faund . Thanks
Thanks for the support and the comment Fidelis. Do you enjoy exploring animal
Movements? 🐻 🦎 Feel free to check out my other videos. All the best in your adventures and fitness journey. Keep moving ✊🏻
Thanku so much brother from 🇮🇳❤
Most welcome 🙏 Thanks for watching and keep enjoying movement 🙌
I'm here for our PE. 🙂
Did you find it useful? Hope you found value in it 🙂
i'm attempting the low sweep lizard crawl but my arms always give way at the bottom position.
like i can't lock one arm in place to free the other arm for the sweep. it's a tough one !
thanks for the vid ! will keep practicing 🤙🏻
It is definitely a very humbling exercise. Continue to build strength in this movement pattern. You could also try exercises such as Archer Pushups to build more capacity strength which may potentially help with the transition. Keep persevering and let me know if I can help further. Owen 🦍
Owen Jackson i will ! thanks for the reply (:
@@samchu5335 here to help 👊
Now that's a knee injury right there hehe
Hey BH. Thanks for watching 😊 I think your comment is tongue in cheek. However, for clarity, I respectfully disagree this will cause a knee injury. Follow a patient approach to the progressions. Avoid pain and listen to your body 🦎 happy movement 👍
3 years later…still useful.
Gratful to hear this 🙏🏻 thanks for watching and the comment. What content would you benefit from in the future?
@@OwenJackson You are welcome. I just got back to exercising last year. I am new to crawling and movement discipline this fall so the video instruction that you already have for beginners is perfect for me. I am a former competitive bodybuilder just tying to get it back together and trying a new style.
Love to hear a bit more about your journey and your openness to new disciplines. More to come my friend and keep me updated on your increasing movement repertoire 🤙🏻 your background in bodybuilding will give you a great physical connection. Take time to move well and most importantly, enjoy 🙌🏻 🦎🐒
If you can do these moves in intervals, you will never need a gym again - for strength or aerobics!
🙌 Add some pulling exercises and you have a complete workout for sure
67 here. I’m working on it inside my house. Feeling the desire to take it to the backyard, but then I have to wait till dark or the neighbors will probably call the cops. Plus, here in south Mississippi, I gotta contend with fire ant beds and stray dog poop. BAHAHA!!!
Keep sculpting your movement masterpiece Roger, soon you'll be ready to unleash your exemplary super lizard to the world 🦎 ..and keep doing those stealth turds too brother ✊
...they'll name you komodo dragon 🙌 And don't worry about looking weird. I started doing these in the gym a few years ago and people became interested in animal movements and this lead me into coaching. Who knows here it will lead you my friend
Love this video man!
Means a lot mover man, thank you 🦎
Awesome 👏
appreciate the support Peter, thank you
@@OwenJackson my pleasure 🙏
That's awesome
Appreciate the comment mate. Will you be giving it a try? Let me know how you get on 🦎
Hi, beautiful technique. :) and what’s the music?
Thank you Kriti. Appreciate the support. The track is called Various Juices available on RUclips audio library
Very nice
hope it helps kwombat 🦎👍
Superb
appreciate the support 🙏 all the best on your journey 😃
@@OwenJackson thanks 👍👍❤️
what da lizard doin
do you mean in regards to the benefits?
@@OwenJackson yes
hey @@cursorhead think of it as a pushup progression. It forces the chest, tricep and delts to work hard. It also requires us to incorporate rotation and movement in the frontal plane.
One big bonus with animal or ground based movements is it forces us to think more about movement, incorporating our full body. So we get a good workout for the mind and body.
I'd love for you to give it a try and let me know what you think 🦎
@@OwenJackson what about focusing on movements of lizards trying to focus on mimicking how we walk?
Some one said this is better then push ups
I believe Ido posted that recently. I've found great value in the lizard crawl and from his teaching. There's no denying his movement prowess. I would say pushups have their place and depends on your specific goals. What are your goals?
I searched for lizard crawl due to Ido. Quiet simply to be a better version then I was yesterday. Thanks for the reply. As I know I did not frame it as a question, but you have answered it. Do both.
@@MrTidymark you have the right idea my friend. All the best on your movement journey 💪
I had a parkour instructor that could do the advanced one really fast and it was so creepy to see
Parkour is such a cool activity. Have you tried? Will you be giving the lizard crawl a go? 🦎 let me know how you get on ✌🏻
Why do you whip your hips like that? Isn't smoother better?
Hey Scott, thanks for watching 😃 Personally, I like the dynamic motion of the hip whip. There's definitely room to experiment with various rhythms and highlight different aspects of the movement. Have you given it a go? Feel free to delve into the technique and share your thoughts 🤙🦎
More animal flow pls.
Thanks for watching Leo. Yes I would like to make more videos. What animal flow would you like to see? Anything specifically?
@@OwenJackson animal flow level 1,2,3. I MEAN BEGINNER TO ADVANCE?
@@leodoescalisthenics714 I will make a note and make a future video for sure. Have you subscribed to make sure you don't miss it ⚡✌️
@@OwenJackson done and thanks bro
I was waiting for him to eat A fly.......it would make it more entertaining....
🦟😋 getting into the role like a real method actor would 😆
Hope you found it useful 😀 👍
I will use this for evil purposes
hehe
😝 🦎
This excercise is a part of kalari payattu an Indian martial arts. Give the credits don't try to digest our culture and give some tacky names.
Any links?
It is a kalari move- but pretty much everything is appropriated now days
No offence meant Tejaswi🙏🏻 merely using the terms I was taught and common terminology. Wishing you all the best on your journey
