External Cuing to Clean Up a Crawl

If you're a regular on our blog, you know how much we love our crawling variations. With that said, it's always important that they are done right to elicit the correct carryover to our athletes. Occasionally we come across an individual with poor body awareness and this becomes an uphill battle. When situations such as this arise, you have to get creative in the presentation and cuing of the movement. Below is one of my favorite ways to add an external stimuli to slow down the movement and extract the correct fixations from the client.

A little about me: I've worked in pretty much every corner of the fitness industry for about 10 years. I've had the great fortune of spending most of this time working with gifted athletes at every level. I've also had the great opportunity of designing and conducting research projects, writing occasionally for various publications and blogs, competing in powerlifting, and just generally having a killer time pursuing my passions wherever they may take me. Now I own two businesses: one is an athletic performance training company that I started in 2007 at age 26 and the other is a software company startup that was launched in 2014. Paramount to all the awesomeness of my professional career, is my family. My kids are a thrill and my husband continues to be my most critical and important supporter.
