VAHVA Fitness Chameleon is just harder version of lizard crawl, isn't it ? But I like this exercise. :)) How deep should I go, if I do chameleon. It is hard for me if I hold myself only on one arm and one foot. And if I go too deep a fall down, because my arm can't hold it.

The chameleon and crouching tiger are my favorites, maybe because they use our entire body! Great content!

On rainy days while I was in junior high school we used to have crab walk soccer games in the cafeteria... It was the best of all of our PE activities as I remember. FYI, In the crab walk you can move in any direction, and do it at a run as well. I hope someone reads this and gets up a game of crab ball... it's a blast!

Your videos has helped heal my rotator cuff completely after its been in pretty bad shape. Its also helped develop incredible core strength for my sport. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!

While doing the Crab, you can change the direction of your fingers pointing to your feet, this way you change the arm muscle, then low the butt till very close to the floor, this makes you reeeeally feel the burn in Arms and abs! Plus, it's such a nice thing to see Capoeira movements being spread out :) You are performing it very well, specialy the Chameleon. There is another animal walk in Capoeira, it's the Jacarezinho (little Aligator). I couldn't find a video to show you, but it's a explode push up jumping forward.

I strongly recommend that you practice the "Duck Walk" and the elated exercises described in this video until you KNOW you can do them before you go to MEPS. It's a very weird exercise and something you would never have done before and it has probably ruined more military careers than any other physical test. A good friend of mine got the highest IQ score they had ever had in his state and the recruiters were thrilled to sign him up. He was guaranteed a spot in nuclear training program. Unfortunately, he failed the "Duck Walk" at MEPS and they cancelled his enlistment and that destroyed what would have been a VERY promising naval career. It's a BIG deal. Treat it accordingly.
