This video is all about the crab reach from Animal Flow! I'm going to show you how to do it, common mistakes, and then we're gonna flow with it. You are ready Grasshopper.

Why crab reach? The crab reach opens up all of the muscles in the front of the body, while activating all of the muscles in the back of the body. You'll be firing up the glutes, stretching the hip flexors, mobilizing the T spine & shoulders, activating the core, plus gaining body awareness and control, ALL AT THE SAME TIME!
