In certain sports programs, bootcamps & even gyms, people may say that if you want to do Animal Exercise you need to do it outdoors. There's no way you can do them indoors in a closed in space can you? I mean isn't the point of this type of training to be done in a large amount of space roughly 20-30 square yards or more? When I read that in a magazine or on youtube, in the gym or wherever I just sit back and laugh because there's two things running through my head when those people say those things: They either haven't had very much experience in understanding the grasp of them or they never opened up their minds to the limitless possibilities of where and how much space you can do with Animal Exercises.
In my Dungeon, the mats from the wall to the final row is 16 feet in length, the square feet alone is around 200 square feet; that's pretty small amount of space for those specific exercises yet have managed hundreds of yards at a time, hundreds/thousands of steps worth of movement and even had playouts where I did them in place. Now how is that possible and what animals can be done in one stationary spot?
Sometimes you need to stop analyzing and use your brain and imagination to learn the true aspects of animal movements. At the top of my head; the flamingo is a great exercise to do in place, frog jumps, bunny hops, kangaroo jumps, Monkey picking fruit (Squatting up and down as if to pick fruit and put it down next to you), Starfish, Donkey Kicks ok you get the drill. There's a playout called the Caged Animal where you train hard in place doing animal movements or holds. Now if you have a ceiling that's less than 8ft high, you don't need to jump very high and with the donkey kicks, you don't need to kick very hard either but you can still get exceptional results with this kind of training especially the conditioning and lung power you can possess.
On a nice day, its good to get outside in the fresh air and move like a wild animal but on days where the weather sucks but still want to train like an animal, do them in your living room or your garage; there's no excuse. Don't hold back because you think you have no space; that's bullshit and a cop out. Make it work for you.

Roaming The Jungle & Covering The Surrounding Yards
Doing Animal Moves everyday lately has given me a newfound sense of strength, vitality, calmness and sense of energy that hasn't been used in a while. I've been switching things up going for more distance this time around than just counting steps. I've been going for how many yards I can accumulate in a playout. On a good day I'll average around 100-200 yards but if i'm feeling really energetic I go even further. Like a tiger hunting for miles on end, I'm into developing a greater sense of endurance & conditioning and see how far I can go.
My mats in the dungeon up and back is 32 feet so that doesn't sound like much but when you start adding it up set after set of covering that much floor and more it's going to be crazy. My longest distance in a playout is over 530 yards; that's a freaking lot of ground to cover and I was doing one animal that whole time and that was the Bear. Bear Crawls are very simple to do but when you're barely resting and covering practically doubled the distance in one set, you're developing another realm of fitness & going beyond the norm for a typical session using animal moves.
Before we went to Lilac City Comic Con this past Saturday in the morning I covered 245 yards worth of movement just to get the day started. I have to tell you the results I'm receiving from this change in training is staggering; I'm getting stronger in many areas, my leap is faster, my arms are already showing definition, my abs are shrinking, my testosterone is shooting through the roof and my sleep has been much greater in more recent days than in the last few months. This is just the tip of the iceberg and haven't had these sensations in quite some time.
When I have a bit of a restless night; I dive into some Animal Moves until my body has calmed down and when that endorphin high kicks in, I sleep like a baby and my hormones go through the roof. I have energy during the day that keeps my mind sharper and have greater focus and having powerful muscle developing like crazy is just another great look at what I'm doing my best to achieve. At the end of a session, I do some deep breathing of this particular animal for a few minutes and absorbing the great levels of oxygen and mega sensations in the lower areas of my body is just an amazing feeling. I'm nearly 33 and have hormones raging that would make a teen blush all because of utilizing my full body into the movements of mimicking wild animals.
This is just a way of gaining my conditioning and stamina, its to build my body as a whole; fire up my internal organs with oxygen, create explosive power in my legs, strengthen my arms with crawling, developing muscle control to protect my back, move in awkward positions and so much more. When you truly feel the power of animal movements, its no longer regular exercise, it becomes a part of your life and develops both mind and body. You will have energy you never thought was possible, increase the power in your sex organs and become strong beyond the regular types of bodyweight exercise. You are getting back to NATURE!!!

One Animal To Rule Them All
I don't believe that one exercise/program/playout is the end-all-be-all to where if you did one exercise that would be it and anything else would be inferior. There is one exercise however that is so simple yet has been a staple in multiple sports, games and conditioning programs for practically centuries and continues to stand the test of time. It is without question The Bear Crawl.
This exercise alone has been proven to burn fat, build muscle and build strength, endurance, conditioning all at the same time. Some of the greatest athletes on the planet have done bear crawls in their lifetime. The objective is to get on all fours and start moving whether slow or fast. There have been different variations throughout the years but it still has made an impact than any other animal movement.
There have been camps where athletes were doing sprints on two feet and didn't really like it not because it wasn't good but because it was too boring so teachers or maybe even drill sergeants had them doing bear crawls instead and after maybe a couple sprints or more these athletes got a wake up call and decided the two footed sprints were better. What's the point to this? When you sprint on all four limbs, you are hitting practically every muscle in your body from the shoulders all the way down to the legs. You're working the arms harder than before, you need all four limbs to be in balance otherwise you can fall over and your core is activated the entire time in order to stabilize you.
The bear crawl is a favorite of mine when I do my own training and gets me going when I need it the most. It has been a classic conditioning exercise for those in wrestling and if you ever practiced this in a wrestling room you know why. It gets you huffing and puffing faster than you can say "Holy Grizzly Adams Batman" and it is an exercise that has you building loads of growth hormone and testosterone. Think about it; a bear weighing in prime age around 700-1500 lbs. moving at speeds close to 35 mph at a height of nearly 11 feet, that's some serious speed and muscular power. When a grown man at 200 lbs. does this at his top speed it lasts even less than a full 100 meter sprint. Our legs are the strongest in the human body so when you even attempt to make your arms that way, think how strong you'll be on the mat, in the cage, on the football field and on the diamond?
It has put some of the very best begging for mercy and for good reason. It's simple, easy to learn because for one it's one of the first things we learn as babies; in order to walk, we crawl first, on our bellies using our hands then on our hands and feet, then on our feet. It is an exercise that takes us back to our childhood, crawling on all fours and making noises like an animal and never knowing it was a good thing for us just by playing. It helps us rid of back pain, strengthens our joints, stretches our legs and gives us a signal if we have weak wrists. It goes beyond exercise; it is a move that helps us live a healthy life and teaches us balance, coordination and using our brains. When you walk in this position you also have your head going downward which can bring blood flow to the brain, it takes strength to lift up the neck and strengthens the neck muscles.
Go do some bear crawls and start out slow, get use to be in the position and make it work for you. Go a little faster as you get better and play around with it. Make it a part of your daily life even if you're over the age of 40, 50 and beyond.
