The crab walk can be done moving forward, backward, and side-to-side. We make sure that we keep our movements efficient by doing crab walks for very short durations, usually 5–10 yards. Why are they called this way? Because the crabs are walking laterally. So unlike our forward romba walks or those moving back where we’re straight facing or backing the line. In crab walks our body remains forwards as we are walking laterally.This allows the animals to walk sideways, which is considerably quicker (the fastest-moving are the ghost crabs, which live on tropical beaches).
