Answer: The literal meaning of "crab walk" is to move diagonally or sideways in an awkward type of movement (like a crab). As an exercise, the "crab walk" involves lying on your back while keeping your body off the ground using bent arms and legs backward (towards the floor). Movement in this position involves shifting your hands and feet, like a crab.
