Never thought you'd read that kind of title, but than again you never know what you'll find on the internet. There are so many creative things to find for workouts these days but others might need some tune up and made for specific people. When you become creative, you enhance your ability to train at a unique level and be in better shape than someone who just runs through the motions. Creativity creates a bigger impact than the boring crap that roams around.
When I do my animal workouts, I like to find different ways to make things a little more interesting; do fight or flight workouts, tournaments, workouts for endurance and even on occasion an isometric style workout. One of the most fun is using Disney Characters for my animal workout, it creates a more imaginative setting and if you're a Disney fan like I 'am, you can find all sorts to animals to imitate. There's Baloo the Bear, Kerchak the Mountain Gorilla from Tarzan, Sabastian the Crab, Judy Hopps the little Bunny Cop from Zootopia or Kanga & Roo from Winnie The Pooh. You can get in a great workout just by utilizing those characters.
It sounds silly and childish doesn't it? The truth is, we're all looking for an exercise program that keeps us motivated and coming back for more, even when we're tired. There's nothing childish about using your imagination to make your workouts worthwhile and yes it may look silly to one but it's another person's adventure. Getting fit and in condition should be taken seriously but why not have a little fun with it to get more out of it than usual.
Some of my workouts have lasted as long as 45 min and as short as 3 minutes but regardless of the amount of time, something always gets done. My longest animal workout was a little over 82 minutes and although it was fun, it was brutal but that's the beauty of it, one minute you'll feel like the Beast from Beauty And The Beast, the next, you might feel like the wolf from the Sword & The Stone after chasing and trying to eat up young Arthur. Conditioning is a powerful asset and we want to do things that makes us less fatigued and have stamina that lasts like playing with the kids, having fun with your spouse, better focus at work and getting tasks done with greater efficiency.
If you have Disney+, there's a set of videos or clips from various animated films that is edited to create a meditative environment called Zenimation; you know like the various sounds of nature, water and serenity but in the form of Disney. It's really cool and I watch it from time to time to chill out for a few minutes. Be like a kid again and get moving doing various animals and workouts that are fun and short.
