Disney Inspired Animal Workouts

When I was little I loved the Jungle Book; it's my all-time favorite Disney movie and for good reasons, who doesn't want to be a part of the Bear Necessities or the Jungle VIP? Animals are a mythical and inspiring area of Disney that many of us have overlooked. I for one loved being a bear like Baloo, a fox like Robin Hood, a smart and brave mouse from The Rescuers and totally could never get enough of Sebastian The Crab.

Although many of us adults today exercise from time to time, we have also become very analytical and rigid to the point where overthinking and and not paying attention to the spatial awareness when we move has become the "Norm." This is where the beauty of Animal Exercises come into PLAY, it's disguised as a way of having fun instead of being so frustrated and full of frowns. It takes away the complicated schemes of reps and sets and thrusts you into a world of movement and letting everything go. This reminds of a quote by Yoda where he says "You must unlearn what you have learned", in a nutshell that means even if you think you know how certain exercises work, there's something new about them and have a way of teaching you how to apply the mechanics without realizing it.

When you act out like an Animal from courses such as Animal Kingdom Conditioning I & II, you're going beyond just typical exercise; you're literally thrown into a world that full of adventures, ideas, imagination and not having the feeling of working out. Sure it takes effort and there's no point in being lazy about it but whether you're new or are an advanced animal, something can catch your eye and build on something exciting and full of ways to make animal movements feel awesome both internally and externally. 

Disney has been telling stories with animals for decades, long before Zootopia. Some stories may not sit well with a lot of people but there are stories that are pretty awesome and have some really cool creatures that take our breaths away and bring joy and laughter to kids and adults alike.
