The Joyful Entity Of Animal Exercises

As kids, we often had a huge imagination and can see things others couldn't; big things like planes and ships, animals of different shapes, scenarios that were off the wall and moved in ways that couldn't be explained. The energy, the enthusiasm and the way we enjoyed ourselves. As we get older, we start to drift away from that skill we had and ride off into the world of adulthood by going after girls or boys, impressing others, getting a job, going to college and have the joys of being stressed out over midterms, having kids and marrying someone you either love or it's some form of arrangement. We lose what made us happy or used as a defense mechanism.

Sort of the same thing happens with exercise; at first you're playing around, learning new things but later on, it becomes a little too serious. Don't get me wrong, exercise is awesome and should be taken serious in some form but not to the point of becoming analytical and overthinking. That's why I love doing animal exercises, it doesn't take up much time and you can progress and use the exercises anyway you see fit. You get to make choices, can go on a massive ass field or roaming the living room. Once you get the idea of how to make the move work, start expanding your mind and take yourself back to that time in your life where imagination was incredible. Have fun with these exercises and create an imaginary surrounding, visualize yourself as that animal.

If you take it way too serious, you're not getting the full benefit of the movements. When you're too serious, you're stiff and overthinking which hand and foot goes first. Do you really think an animal thinks like that? No, an animal strategizes in order to get food or get away from being food, they move and live their lives. They climb, run, jump, crawl and swim.

When you really begin to play with these exercises, your results can be extremely beneficial and you'll start to have keen awareness and brain power you didn't think existed. You can also jumpstart your hormones and generate youthful qualities of those hormones like when you were a kid. Build muscle, burn fat, strengthen tendons and have a very strong core.

Take a look at this video I did earlier this week. It may look like just moving like a tiger but in my mind, i'm stalking prey and getting ready to pounce. There's more than meets the eye.
