Carpet Crab
Put arms underneath knees and lift all of body weight from the floor so as to create the illusion of a crab.
1
Find a clear, level floor space and stand with feet apart.
2
Bend forward, lowering hands between legs towards floor.
3
Place hands on floor behind and bending knees, hook knees over elbows.
4
Balance weight of legs on upper arms and rock slowly backwards raising feet from floor. When balanced, hold position.
Notes
The Carpet Crab (in all forms) is arguably the most difficult House Gymnastics move. Even though it’s not as dangerous or strenuous as the Triple X, it requires extreme flexibility, suppleness, balance and strength.
