The Exercise Coach

A fitness column titled 'The coach inside your head' explores the mental side of training, framing self-talk and mindset as an inner coach that shapes motivation and performance. It is part of an ongoing Fitness Corner series offering practical health and exercise guidance to readers.

A fitness coach shared a new exercise of the day: the low-anchor band-resisted bear crawl, demonstrated by one of his online clients. The move involves slowly crawling away from the anchor with control, then returning against the band's tension while keeping the body stable. It targets the core and adds resistance to a traditional bear crawl.
