That might sound a little confusing to many but bear with me here. When is a workout not a workout and if it isn't a workout than why call it a workout? Brain getting flustered yet LOL? This is one of the many reasons why I love Animal Exercises; it's simply a more fun way of looking at exercise because when most hear the word W-O-R-K-O-U-T it can be a fitness turn off since it involves the first four letters "WORK." I mean seriously if you want to work isn't that what a job is? When you train, you want to do something that's interesting and gives you inspiration to do more of it (within reason of course).
Animal Exercises is basically set up more like play and letting you move in different directions, strengthening your body from odd angles and be more of an adventure than work. Yeah I'll tell you it is tough and can be hard at times but when you focus more on the movement and acting out an animal it doesn't become too difficult. You're moving your body in ways you're not used to and it opens up your system in a very unique way. To put it bluntly, the more muscles you hit the greater chance your body will transform and have a functional and powerful physique.
When you move like an Animal for a few minutes a day, here are some of the things that will start to happen as you practice them consistently.....
1. The body will transform into a lean, mean animal machine
2. Your muscles won't just have greater density and definition, they will toughen up to.
3. You will gain incredible agility and speed because when you engage more muscles in a given movement, you're increasing vital nerve force.
4. Your conditioning will skyrocket and you'll have greater durability (Injury Resistance).
5. Develop strong tendons and powerful joints that will give you greater mobility and flexibility.
6. You'll increase the area of the brain that sends nerves into your system that releases endorphins and give you an increased level of health and wellness throughout every area of your body.
I don't know about you but I believe that's a fair deal for doing only a few minutes a day having fun as an Animal. They don't take very long at all and depending on your fitness level you can go for as long as want or what gives you the best benefit. When I started I only lasted maybe 8 minutes if I was lucky, I built up to roughly a half hour and that was brutal for me so don't feel the need to go beyond just for the sake of pushing the limits. Experiment and play around with what you can do,
When you join the Jungle VIP, you will be stepping into a world where not only getting fit is well rewarded but also have the opportunity to create challenges, games & your own adventures based on your pace and your way of becoming a wild animal.
What are you waiting for? Unleash that inner animal within you and get out there.

Indian Viagra
There’s a certain Ayurvedic supplement that has earned multiple names and reputations.
One of those is Indian Viagra (I’m hoping you can fill in the blanks because if I write that word this email would probably be in your spam folder. If you need a hint it is a little pill prescribed by doctors for old men who need help getting it up.)This supplement is more properly known as Shilajit.
Of course this is an all-natural herbal supplement so it’s not going to work quite in the same way as a drug, and anyone telling you it will is lying to you.
But if that’s the case, why did it get this name?
Shilajit is an amazing substance that does many things. It first and foremost can be thought of as anti-aging.
One of the many things it does is help the mitochondria, the powerhouses of your cells, to work better.
Another thing it does is supply trace minerals.
In all of these cases it helps to restore proper functioning of the human body, or halting or slowing its breakdown in the first place.
When it comes to THAT problem, well that’s a sign of lack of health not just there but elsewhere in the body.
Shilajit goes to the root issues and is not just a temporary quick-fix.
Now this means it may not act as aggressively or quickly. In fact, it could take months of daily dosing before you really notice any major effects…But all the while it is working in the background changing your cells and affecting your health for the better.
And that, my friends, is how it earned that nickname.
Check out the full details on Shilajit here.

I Love Being An Ape
Acting out like a big primate and doing all sorts of movements, hanging and playing makes up for a hell of a training session. When you play around with Primate (Ape/Monkey) Exercises, you're moving your body in a very unique fashion. Utilizing natural movements of Jungle Animals gives you a muscle building and tendon strengthening entity you can't get from other training programs.
Hanging on a bar alone is not as easy as it looks and the bigger you are, the harder it is. When a gorilla or orangutan hang from a tree, they're supporting their whole body weight which can very from 180-400 lbs. or more. It takes a lot of tendon strength to withstand that kind of power; so when us humans do it it's quite remarkable. Think of how rock climbers, gymnasts, acrobats and other type of athletes that need pure strength throughout their whole body to hang on in a specific hold or move throughout a plane of motion. Chimps have a bone crushing grip to the point where if you had the balls to let one or a monkey squeeze your finger it won't only hurt but chances are you'll hear bones crack.
Not all Primate Movements are created equal so us Homo-sapiens have to adapt in a manner that's more practical and safe for our body's abilities. We don't have the bone strength of a chimp or have the muscular density of a gorilla but we do however have the ability to become stronger than the average person by doing exercises that give our structure greater support. Sure we may get calluses on our hands and build denser forearms but the strength we can develop truly inspires the imagination that it is possible to have stronger bones, thicker muscle and insane tendons than most people.
Moving like an ape gives me freedom to live out my spirit animal and have fun hanging, jumping, walking and running like a primate. Because of my passion for ape exercise, I've dropped weight, starting to slim down from the hanging, move better on the ground, hold deeper squats and lots of other cool stuff. Calisthenics is awesome but yet doing Animal Calisthenics is whole other sport and it generates greater properties of functional strength.
