The Crawl

 The crocodile group is about 1,000 elderly people in China who gather daily to do the crocodile workout on a track. The exercise consist of starting in the plank position then moving one foot and arm forward at the same time while chanting affirmations to relieve pain. It is supposed to relieve back pain and stress though I haven't actually tried it yet it looks like a way to end up in a heap on the floor wondering how to get back up but I intend to try it with my phone nearby. Instructions are as follows:

How to do the crocodile crawl:

  1. Start by setting up a pushup position
  2. Lift the soles of your feet, tighten your abs and raise your hips
  3. Walk with your hands as your feet follow behind you as you advance forward
  4. Once confident, you could increase the difficulty by wearing a weighted vest
  5. Always consult your doctor or physician before beginning a new workout - especially if you have a medical condition or are pregnant
