"In a new online trend, people are scuttling, crawling, and bounding around on
all fours while filming themselves – and their videos are getting a lot of
attention. The practice is called quadrobics, and it’s quite the spectacle.
Quadrobics evangelists claim the movements promote fitness, strength, mobility
and even spirituality, as a chance to reconnect with nature and the “primal”
self.
The word quadrobics comes from
quattuor (Latin for four) and aerobics
(exercise that is rhythmic and repetitive, and which uses the body’s large
muscle groups, such as in running).
But is this form of workout actually good for you? Is it just another fad made
viral by our attention economy? Or perhaps, a bit of both?"
