This is the exercise everyone laughs at… until they try it.
It’s called the QM crawl (Quadrupedal Movement), and yeah it looks a little funny. But don’t let that fool you. This primal movement trains your core, improves joint health, and boosts total-body coordination in a way many modern exercises can't.

In this video, we break down the surprising history, science, and benefits of crawling. From military drills to elite athletic training, this underrated move is finally getting the attention it deserves.

👇 Try it yourself and see what all the hype is about:
