crab walk
Belly-up scuttle movement
A crab walk is a sideways gait with legs wide and body low, resembling how crabs move.
In exercise, it's a specific movement performed with hands and feet on the ground, belly facing up, walking sideways or backward: We did crab walks across the gym.
The term also describes any awkward lateral shuffle.
