The trainer called a five-minute exercise to strengthen the whole body

Fitness trainer Kelsey Wells has revealed an effective five-minute exercise that will help strengthen your entire body. Her words are quoted by Fit and Well.

“The bear walk is an underrated exercise that activates the muscles in your legs, upper body and core,” she said. The expert noted that the exercise strengthens the buttocks, quadriceps and hamstrings, the muscles of the chest, shoulders and back, and abs are included in the work, and also improves the stabilization and maintenance of the spine.

Wells also described the correct technique for performing a bear walk. Starting position – on all fours with support on your palms and feet. Then begin to move forward, taking a step with the opposite leg and arm at the same time. In this case, the spine should remain straight, the back and shins should be parallel to the floor.

Wells emphasized that you should not do the exercise at a fast pace, it is more important to focus on the correct technique. She recommended doing ten circuits of 20 seconds of intense activity with 10 seconds of rest.
