Proper Steps:

Begin in a deep squat, aka ‘ape posture’
Reach ahead of you with one hand and grip the floor
Spring off the balls of your feet and pull yourself forward so that your feet land quietly behind your hand
Repeat the process evenly on both sides, for a given amount of reps or desired distance
This pattern is more fun when you travel in a zig-zag route
