Whether it's walking, climbing stairs, or working out, our lower-body muscles play an essential role in helping us move freely. We use our legs, glutes, hip muscles, and core more than most other muscles in our body, so it's a good idea to keep them strong.

You can do glute exercises and quadricep exercises like squats, deadlifts, and lunges, and they are all worthy of a place in your workout routine. But you can also try the crab walk if you're looking to boost your stability, hip strength, balance, and muscle mass.
