Army Crawl - What it Works
Focus: Fullbody
Type: Metcon
Difficulty: level 4 of 5

Start in a forearm plank with your elbows under your shoulders and your body low. Reach one forearm forward and pull yourself along, driving with the opposite leg at the same time, then reach with the other arm and keep crawling - staying as low to the floor as you can the entire way, like you're moving under a tripwire. The pull comes from your arms and the push from your legs, working together.

Works: shoulders, chest, core, hip flexors, quads

Breathing: Exhale with every pull forward and keep your breathing rhythmic - holding your breath this low to the ground will gas you out fast.

Common Mistakes: Letting the hips rise into the air instead of staying low, pulling with the arms only and leaving the legs to drag, and dropping the head so you can't see where you're going.

Make Easier: Crawl shorter lengths with a rest between them, let your hips ride a little higher, or build up your base first with a static forearm plank. Short on space? Crawl out and back - direction changes make it harder, not easier.

Make Harder: Go longer and faster while keeping your chest just off the floor, or pair it with Ape Hops or Burpees for a brutal ground-work circuit.

Awesome effort you put into making quality workouts/plans/programs and that you still continually update and add new ones. Grateful for your promise in keeping this site accessible and free for… Awesome effort you put into making quality workouts/plans/programs and that you still continually update and add new ones. Grateful for your promise in keeping this site accessible and free for people of all fitness levels & goals around the world. Found Darebee some time years ago and used to just save the workouts and then forget about them somewhere in my documents & to do later lists 😅 but coming back to the site this year I loved the organised/simple layout & navigation of the site with full workout video at bottom to see proper form and notes to make things easier or harder depending on your fitness/energy aswell as an extensive exercise library with joint friendly alternatives. I found it much easier to track/check off completed workouts & days on program/plan on dashboard, was more likely to remember & do it + advanced filter made it quick to find a doable workout. As a tiny way to support this site I made account and use the site exclusively for exercises now, will look to donate when I can 🙏🏽 and would recommend it to all I talk to regarding fitness. Thank you Darebee team for the great job you've all done here and keep up the good work. Blessings to you all.
