Resistance Band Spider Crawls are an upper body exercise that enhances shoulder stability, strength, and flexibility. By having the arms move in a crawling motion against a wall, this exercise effectively engages the shoulder and scapular muscles, promoting improved posture and resilience.

How to do it

  1. Secure a resistance band around your wrists and stand facing a wall.
  2. Position your hands in front of you against the wall, shoulder-width apart, creating tension in the band.
  3. Walk your hands up the wall in a crawling motion, maintaining tension in the band, until they are above your head.
  4. Slowly reverse the motion, walking your hands back down to the starting position.
  5. Repeat the crawling motion while maintaining core stability and band tension.
