I strongly dislike bear crawls but I figured out today why we do them! I was out in my garden on my hands and knees pulling out weeds from between uneven bumpy stone pavers. I wanted to shift to a different area without bashing my knees on the stones. And wanted to drag my foam kneeling pad and weed bucket with me. And I suddenly realized that I was bear crawling down the path. Ha! I have a newfound appreciation for this exercise and will stop grumbling about it.
