Animal Moves Develop Muscles At Awkward Angles

The world of fitness is a mighty big place; you have your plethora of exercises, programs, supplements, equipment and workouts galore. Many of the programs today don't have any real emphasis of the full muscular structure starting from the inside, it is always what you can build on the outside. That's why you see many people do exercises based on bodybuilding more than real function. I'm not knocking bodybuilding in general, if that's what you want to do than by all means but it is important on what information you learn about.

The old school style of bodybuilding isn't really on piecing the body like a puzzle, it is to structure the whole body as if it was a single unit using multiple muscles in a single exercise and working the tendons and ligaments along with muscle training. The simplicity is to use as basic form of exercise as possible without relying on the isolated machines people use. We're talking about Presses, Pulls, Squats, Grip Work & Ab Training. These in turn build realistic muscular power and strength along with agility but that isn't always enough.

Many of the single best equipment for old school training has you doing up and down movements, if you were to focus more of the tendons you would do partials at specific positions of a movement or you hold the exercise in a static (non-moving) position. If you want to add this type of training that is more functional, lookup Bud Jeffries, Brooks Kubik, John Grimek, Otto Arco, Maxick, John Davis and others of that caliber. 

Up and down movement are phenomenal in their own right along with using the most basic tools and little to no machines (Rehab & Isolated Bodybuilding are the only reasons they're good for) but to get the most out of the functioning of the muscles along with the bone structure this is where nature thrives. Animal Exercises do not isolate the muscles as they work you from multiple positions and angles.

The awkward positions like say in a crab walk or a lizard crawl, build strength in a unique way as oppose to singular type movements in weightlifting or machines. When you move around like an animal, you're forced to use the whole body and twist, turn and generate power in the joints rather than just going up and down. If you already lift weights, I would suggest get Fat Gripz as they force the muscle fibers to fire regardless of the exercise and due to gripping hard enough to move, you're generating greater strength and growth to the muscles. Add animal moves to the mix and your strength will have limitless potential. Other bodyweight exercises are great but they can't compare to the animals.

Get the most out of your training using methods that are simple yet can kick your ass. Don't see yourself as pieces of a puzzle, look at the bigger picture and utilize training that encompasses the full potential of your body not just in the muscles but the tendons, ligaments, joints, organs and overall bone structure. 

Superhero Fit Using Animal Exercises

If you could transform into an animal, what would it be? What attributes would want for that animal? Many superheroes have incredible attributes of Super Strength, Unlimited Endurance, Mega Speed, Flexibility beyond belief and have incredible senses. Animals also have some attributes that have them existing and surviving for eons.

The cheetah is the Flash/Quicksilver of the Animal Kingdom, ability to take down a prey in the blink of an eye and starts off running before a car even starts. Animals like elephants, gorillas, bears and even the Dung Beetle have incredible Strength & Power to take down some of the most versatile animals on the planet. A Tiger has insane stamina and can cover an area up in the triple digits in miles, it's tendons are so powerful that if shot and killed, it's believed to still be standing on its legs. Flexibility is a great attribute that helps stay loose and works well being able to stretch for any occasion; the sea lion has staggering flexibility where although they're a little on the heavy side, they can stretch far back enough to their heads can touch their spines, that's incredible.

Animal movements help you in a unique way to gain strength and conditioning that most "human" exercises cannot touch. This is mainly because while most common exercises have you going up and down, the animals have you going in all sorts of directions (long ways, short ways, left, right, east, west, sideways, backwards, forwards ect). Superheroes need to be able to handle levels of strength and durability from all sorts of directions in order to survive in a battle. Take Batman for example; he's an incredibly skilled martial artist that moves in different directions and able to detect upcoming moves regardless which direction it is coming from, he ducks, blocks, kicks, punches and wrestles from time to time in as many places to fight as possible.

The Animal Moves give you long-lasting strength and endurance that can have you keep going even when you think your tank is running empty, they have you crawling, jumping, balancing, dragging and using every muscle your body is known to have plus gives the tendons and ligaments some strengthening as well. Many athletes use animal moves to keep them in the game, one of the most common animals used in sports is the Bear Crawl; moving on all fours puts another stamp on building the body fast than if you were to just run or walk on your legs. Animal moves have also been known to naturally jack up hormone production and develop youthful physique-like qualities such as shapely arms, firm ass, thoroughbred legs, a chest filled with lung power and abs that are incredibly powerful and functional. The moves can be used for cardio, flexibility training, strength-endurance, agility and more.

Superheroes have some of the most powerful physiques around although you won't have comic-book type muscles, you can naturally develop muscle mass and burn off fat as it also helps with increased metabolism. Move like a bear, a cheetah, gorilla, duck and many other animals that scream fitness and awesome conditioning. Get superhero type muscle that isn't just for show and become wild and free.

They don't take that long to do and it is very difficult, almost impossible to be bored from them since you're moving in different directions and using muscles you don't normally use. All you need is no more than 20 minutes at best and only about 5 minutes to start. It save you time and they can be done by anyone and for all ages.
