Quadrupedal movement, moving on all four limbs, is widely used in
parkour as both a conditioning exercise and a practical technique for
movement. The most basic form of quadrupedal movement is the
reciprocating, forward-moving variation. Like all quadrupedal movement,
this technique is a great full body exercise and it develops
coordination and weight transferring skills needed for other movements.
In parkour, quadrupedal movement is useful as a means to get under or
through small spaces, navigate across irregular surfaces, or provide
extra security and stabilization when moving at heights.

I think a great training idea would be to play tag, while only moving like this.
