I needed this. I always put too much pressure in my wrists

I'm confused. Is your butt not supposed to be a lot lower and chins almost parallel to the ground ?

The exercise is a bit misnamed. Bears are not diagonal walkers. Diagonal walkers, like humans, canines, felines walk with right foot and left arm/foot moving. Bears walk moving their left front foot and left back foot, then right front and right back foot. Though the position resembles a “bear” they don’t move in the way the video shows. Of course this is not a video on animal forms.
