6 Challenging ‘Animal Walks’ You Should Add to Your Workout

In a lizard crawl, you hold your body parallel to the ground, moving forward using your arms while twisting your torso and legs. This particular motion also increases your hip mobility, while also engaging your core. As you become more comfortable doing it, you can increase the difficulty by adding in a pushup, or working harder to keep your body very close to the ground.

“The lizard crawl is the best for building strength throughout the entire body,” Walker said. The forward lunging movements build strength and flexibility in the hips and legs, while the pushup works the core, triceps, and shoulders.
