Animal Flow and Primal Movement

Primal fitness is a trend that is popping up everywhere. It is a system of fitness that utilizes primal human and animal movements. The movements have a high degree of functionality and are often used in functional movement and functional fitness programs.

Animal flow is one such program. Designed by body weight fitness expert Mike Fitch, the program is designed to create highly functional movers. It is a movement training program first and a fitness program second. In Animal Flow, animal type primal movements are learned in a progression that is suitable for beginners and yet has a depth of skill that will keep even advanced movers sweating.

The animal movement helped me in relieving my lower back pain. Since I discovered it I must always spare 15 - 30 mins doing them.
It makes one feel more grounded

Shapeshifter have you heard of Kalaripayattu? its the oldest martial art in the world and Bodhidharma took it to china to the Shaolin temple. My point is we have been doing Animal flow for almost 5000 years. Please check when you have the time.

Hey man I love the channel! I’m young but I’ve been in a lot of accidents and I’ve found workouts like this have been by far the most effective thing for treating my chronic pain.

Yeah I really dig what you’re all about keep on trucking bro 🤘

[GardenerOfDreams]

Seriously just as much as joyously - thank you.

Great explanation! So important to work the fundamental positions of movement (crawling, supine, etc) to be better on our feet! Trying to make animal flow a staple in my clients workouts, and bring more awareness to a younger audience by making videos.

I loved the video and how it was presented. I have been teaching primal exercises for a good portion of my life. Ranging from aquatics training to land based training, I have seen a wide spectrum of humans and how they move. The content on the creation of primal movements cannot be attributed to any one person. These types of omni-directional practices have been around for centuries if not since the beginning of the human race. People have been claiming to be the creators of this progression, but I see they are only brands of a deeper modality. Of course, some credit can go to the one who patents it these days, although I wonder if these people give credit to the millions before them that have journeyed as far or farther than this young man, Mike Fitch. I am currently humbled that there are so many practices out there in this world, but I hope that it does not become a fad like Yoga has in America. On the other hand, I cannot help but love that people are moving this way because it is not only enjoyable but thoroughly effective for developing the human body from all backgrounds and anatomical structures. Thank you for the video, it was entertaining.

Thanks. I've been seen as weird because I am comfortable bipedally and quadropedally. This helps

I discovered your channel today and im just sad you domt have more videos. I know it takes much effort and time to put this kind of videos and im thanking you so much for doing this. You deserve way more views and likes and its just sad that many people are missing out. Ive tried horse stance and im planning on doing it pretty much everyday. I like primal movements but i wont have strict time to do that, i will just do it when i feel like it (ofc everyday). Im already doing calisthenics and started incorporating¿ p bars exercises i saw in one of your videos. I hope all of that will step my game up. Thanks bro.

[juancarlostamayo]

wow amazingly creative and usefull videos, love you channle.

All of this stuff, while being an amazing thing to add to your work out routine on its own merit, is also something I have found to be the perfect warm up for lifting or whatever your activity is. I spend 15 to 20 mins doing this type of stuff and my whole body is primed. It seems to flow naturally with the kettlebell, sandbag, mace, club, and calisthenics work I do. I also no longer hate warming up. It is enjoyable, productive, and has a much greater purpose than just getting you ready for a work out.

One quick note; Mike Fitch didn't invent primal movements. He's just the pretty boy with tattoos that got famous for it. Look up Budokon Yoga by Cameron Shane. He was doing this for years while Mr. Fitch was still in grade school.
