Fun Animal Routines To Get In Amazing Shape

There are way too many rep/set schemes that play out the same scenarios. They become boring, predictable and above all just so tedious and pedantic. Do something different, make a game out of it; step aside the same thing you've been doing and challenge yourself in a very fun way.

These ANIMAL routines can be very unpredictable, challenging and takes you to a new level of creativity, imagination & conditioning. All you need for equipment is a 20-Sided Dice...Here are 4 playful routines that have exciting elements and give you something to enjoy and begging for more.

Routine #1- Cartoon Workout

Take the 20-sided Dice and roll for 5 Animals. Sample Animals....

Baloo The Bear

Kermit The Frog

Magilla Gorilla

Krusty Krab

Sher Kahn The Tiger

Do these animals for time, distance or reps/steps....3-5 Rounds (Rest after each round)


Routine #2- Animal Match-Ups

Like in sports, you have 2 animals battle against each other and you create a point system using the 20-Sided Dice where you roll and see how many times you have to move in order to get points. This is awesome if you had a buddy to do this with or do it by yourself, either way its an adventure. Create this game however you like (Personally, I like it Predator Vs. Prey or Tournament Style). Sample Match-Ups....

Chimp Vs. Tiger

Bear Vs. Lynx

Frog Vs. Duck

Condor Vs. Rabbit


Routine #3- Tag

Remember that game we did as kids where we had to tag somebody and they were it? Well, let's make it animal style. Game can be played by 2 people or more. The "IT" person has to roll the dice and whatever that animal comes up, everybody has to be that animal to make it fair.

Routine #4- Race

Test your mettle in the ultimate speed game. Roll the dice for the animal you and a friend get to race as. This is a distance workout that can be done using feet, yards, meters whatever you want. This alone will knock you on your butt and get you in Sprinting Shape that burns fat like a furnace, builds muscle and kicks your metabolism into high gear.

These are just ideas to get into playing around with animal exercises and forgetting the old schemes of how many reps for strength or endurance, amount of sets in a certain period of time and doing nonsensical exercises that isolate the muscles. This is THE MOST FUN WAY to get in shape and can be done just about anywhere. I did one of these routines in my house without breaking anything from running around so much. I like to write down the amount of steps I took and total it for the entire session, giving me an idea of how much I put into it. Doing just one of these routines alone I took a total of nearly 600 Steps/Reps all together. That's a lot to move your own bodyweight around.

Get moving and have a blast doing it. Don't ever be bored again and make it an adventure.

Get In Shape By Playing

Not too many people like the word WORKOUT. Me neither, it sounds negative and sounds way too serious. It has that first syllable "Work" so why does it truly need to be called that? You already WORK by going to a job, unless you're doing Personal Training as a profession it shouldn't even be a part of the vocabulary. I'd say let's play. Play to me is a better term for exercise and for good reason. Sure it's important to take care of your body and utilize a strong will to make the best of it in a kick ass manner but Workout means something derogatory to me. It's like a valley girl saying "EEWWW." LOL.

Think about it like Music; you don't say you work music, you play music. You don't say you work baseball or football, you play them. Play sounds happy, fun, exciting, creative, loveable and awesome. How many people can you name that would say "I love to Work"? Not too many but what about saying "I love to play"? Many of us have forgotten how to play, we loved it as kids and felt like we could do anything, be anything and come up with the most outlandish things we found creative, funny and productive. Now as adults, we at serious, put on an act for "The Man" and behave "our age." I'm not saying you shouldn't be professional or have a specific attitude in your job, all I'm saying is lighten up and have a little more fun.

Life as it is can be a pain in the ass, some jobs make people miserable and full of hate for the world; how the hell can you truly function as a human being like that. That's why when I train, I make it an experience of joy, having a good time, learning in a unique and exciting way. Being creative is what made this country both good and bad. The good doesn't always get recognized; the bad ends up being in the headlines the most because what does bad create? Moolah. Our world would be a more non-violent place if we stopped trying to kill each other over who has the bigger dick. With women stop being jealous and manipulative to each other, be grateful for what you have and not bitch about what you don't have. That sounded a little sexist but seriously, we have taken play out of our lives and replaced it with constricting rules, jealousy, greed, hunger, back stabbing and robbing of our youth.

Play is what brings us together as a community, having a good time and becoming fit in a fun way. That's what I love about Animal Movement; it's full of creativity, fun ways to exercise, unique in strengthening the body from all kinds of angles, using your imagination, taking on challenges that are interesting and smiling. I have a saying I use often "Nothing gets easier, but it does get interesting." When you use words like that, it makes others feel at ease, puts something in their brain that isn't full of negative phrases such as "Life's a bitch, deal with it", "Perk up, be a man", You can't have everything." Too many people treat the world like it isn't pretty and doesn't bring real happiness. The world is beautiful and full of amazing creatures and jungles, mountains and amazing growth; it's the people that are screwed up in the head, not all but many and humans are the reason why life is a pain in the ass.

This is what I mean by getting in shape by playing; its not just exercise, it's developing a mentality and learning a loving and positive way to help others find awesomeness and beauty in one another. Competing with a great attitude, teaming together like a family, living happily in amazing ways. It won't be easy but it will be interesting.

At Times Its Good To Say WTF

Ever sit back, take a look at what's around you and ask yourself "WTF Bro?" This happens to me often but it just comes back to the notion that what I would rather say is "WTF, let's do it." Ever see the movie Risky Business; the film that put Tom Cruise on the map to mega-stardom? Check it out sometime its about as classic as you'll get. There is a scene where he's with a buddy and Good ole Tommy is worried about what his business is going to end up as; his friend tells him "Sometimes you just got to sit back and say WTF."

What he means by this is that why are you afraid? What's holding you back from doing what gives you your biggest purpose. You are the only thing that holds you back and what you make of yourself is your opportunity. I'm scared of a lot of things but when I want something bad enough, I just tell to shove it and I move on. I love exercise and it makes me happy; when I first learned about animal movements I thought some of them were a little on the Goofy side (No not the Disney Character) and people would laugh but I was willing to give it a shot because it interested me and thought "WTF, sounds fun."

When I do these exercises, I have an adventure and when I do it out in public at a park or wherever sure people stare at times and a few have even tried to imitate me but overall I'm doing what gives me my greatest purpose. You have your own joys and your own favorite thing; why stop it because someone told you something negative? We have more power than we give ourselves credit for. Take a chance and make it worth while. Is it risky? Hell yeah it is but where's the adventure if it wasn't risky.

Be an animal and howl at the moon or crawl like a bear, either way you can make it fun.

A Hard On For Cold Water + Animal Movements + Pine Pollen

You want to talk about testosterone and building crazy growth hormone? You're going to need something to write with because you're going to learn a GOLD STANDARD for developing one of the best ways to burn fat, build lean muscle and engage your body's abilities to create a powerful and natural physique.

When you eat healthy meals and exercise right, it could work but for some people it isn't enough. You need a few things that will help you get an edge on your lifestyle. It can be difficult getting lean and it can be difficult finding the right workout program that suits your needs.

When you add the triangle of health, I believe things will fall into place for you. They can be tricky, bitter and it takes a level of mentality to get past a few things but in the end there is gold at the end of that beautiful and kick ass rainbow. For us guys, a healthy sign of testosterone is having our little soldier rising in the morning. It is apparent that he is alive and well because if isn't and doesn't rise very much it could mean a miserable life as a man.

When we sleep, we can't be too hot or else our boys will drop way too low and that can affect your life in a very bad way. That's why I recommend taking a cold shower an hour or 2 before you drift off and have sweet dreams of that pretty lady you had your eye on or live with. Cold showers may seem weird because of the "shrinkage" that occurs. Well what if I told you you because your body has to burn off a lot of calories to stay warm that blood flow also hits that area too. As you cool off at night while sleeping, that blood flow takes on its fun little journey and when there's morning, it could also bring a wake up call and have little johnny stand at attention.

Among the flow and having the happy salute, an exercise program should have a standard of using the body as a unit instead of isolating parts like you're painting a damn portrait or think you're made of clay; you're not. That's where Animal Movements come in, you're using your body to move throughout various ranges of movement that includes crawling, jumping, balancing and other areas that nature intended for us humans to do. Explosive movements create a jumpstart in the growth hormone process as you utilize the nerves in your body to generate great force to jump up, forward, backwards, side to side or 180 degree turns. Now that doesn't mean you do this for hours at a time, your body is not meant to have that kind of stress and can cause a decrease in your testosterone. Crawling is a great plane of motion as you shift your body in all sorts of directions and move in a way where you walk/run your hands as your legs follow and keeping the core tight so you don't hurt the lower back. A good 20 min. Animal Workout will do the trick and make you lean and mean in no time.

Pine Pollen is a insanely powerful herbal supplement that contains more vitamins and minerals than you'll know what to do with. It takes getting used to because it is bitter but one you get past it, you'll feel things you didn't before or when you were a teen having urges out the ying yang. Start in small dosages and as you get better and need more of a boost, increase to a MEGADOSE and gain even greater benefits. I've taken it and it worked like a charm.

The triangle of Cold Water, Animal Moves & Pine Pollen won't just give your soldier a powerful boost but your hormones, health, strength, endurance and energy will skyrocket and may as well give you a greater boost in the sack and have your lover begging for more.

With A Great Memory Comes Great Responsibility

With the effects of the Spinal Meningitis I sustained as a baby, a lot of things generated certain issues but one thing that came out of it whether it was the result of the condition or not I developed an insane memory that is a bit difficult to explain. I can recall things most people can't and often when I do remember something, I would also feel as if I was there at that moment and at times its been scary for me.

When your brain is wired at a different clip, certain aspects of the nerves hit different areas of the brain where it can create personal individuality and have a person's personality aware and unaware of others. Everybody's brain works differently, some have incredible cognitive skills, others are wired to have greater coordination and awareness. Look at Stephen Hawking, one of the greatest minds in history has a brain that is off the charts yet has no physical movement whatsoever.

 Some people with higher memory applications don't have any sense of practical awareness. Some who are very aware and have practical skills don't have a great memory. The brain is still a mystery after decades of research and figuring out how it gives the body special abilities, some may refer to as superhuman in some cases. The one thing that I have come to accept as a man with a very unique memory is that its my responsibility to act using that to areas I want to strive in. I have been able to recall certain statistics, certain times in my life where it was either tragic or triumphant, I can even recall things at random that either make me laugh or at times very angry.

It's very difficult to control how my memory operates and have come to the fact that I can't shut it off no matter how much I want to at times. There are days where it feels more like a curse than a blessing but a high percentage makes me feel extremely blessed because it can help people I know remember things they either blocked out or have forgotten. It is valuable and crucial to have a strong body but if you also have a strong brain, it becomes a more distinct advantage in certain parts of society. We all have strengths, weaknesses and mysterious findings when it comes to our brains. Even science has come up with certain pills and determined some natural foods that enhance brain activity.

There are Herbs that not only increase brain function with enhanced blood flow, it also creates a higher level of focus. If you want a natural way to increase the levels of your brain, go and grab a bag of Bacopa Organic Extract. Take it from me, having a powerful memory can be a very big advantage to help you with your job, getting awesome grades on term papers, concentrate better in your studies and even reduce anxiety and calms your nerves in a really awesome way.

When you add this and do full body exercise routines; you'll have a very strong sense of the body's abilities to get stronger both physically and mentally, increase hormones, develop greater coordination and even increase intuition. In these times it's important to have a solid strong brain. Develop a great memory and use it to give yourself a chance to get ahead of the game wisely and positively.

Surge Of Testosterone Through Animal Exercise

For us guys its crucial to build our hormones as we age. As teenagers we go through those "wonderful" years of puberty where testosterone is basically in a whole other universe and our hormones raging like a fire to oil.

As we get older, our hormones slowly start to dwindle and if we don't eat right and train the right forms of exercise it will dwindle even faster. Its amazing what two things that go together really can do however when it comes down to it; I personally believe Animal Exercises take the cake for developing insane levels of testosterone and loads of Growth Hormone that gave us that youthful feeling earlier in life.

I'm over 30 and I do understand that the right training ideals are essential to stay on top of the heap when it comes to leveled hormones. I'm already getting the sense of what its like to not have that fire in the loins every now and then and mainly because of food intake. I've dabbled in bad fast food and heavy doses of soda in the past but its gotten a little better but Iv'e also noticed now that when I eat fried chicken especially the high salty kind, let's just say my libido is nowhere to be seen or felt so looks like that food is out the window man. I do find however when I do Animal Exercises, my energy levels rise, my endorphins kick in and the BOYS along with the SOLDIER are extremely happy and full of vigor and sexually strengthened.

Trust me, you don't need to train very long to FEEL it and the workouts last no more than 20 min. One of the reasons why I love the Animal Dice Game; its random and the animals come out of nowhere and my body is adapting to the style on a constant shift. When you move like a beast, you're not isolating muscles or working a couple muscles, you're hitting EVERYTHING!!!!

The irony in this whole realm of training is that I have a greater surge of energy now than when I was a teenager; can only IMAGINE what I could've turned into if I had done this type of training at say 13 or 14 and stayed consistent.

Get in on The Way Of The Animal and experience life in a whole new way and have greater energy, stronger bones, powerful muscles and develop Growth Hormone like nothing else. These exercises are much more intense than regular "human" exercises and when that intensity is being done, the intensity of what goes on in your body will be known.

1000 Reps In Animal Workout

Yesterday I made the decision to go after a goal that I knew I could do within this month but never thought I'd get there this fast. In my animal workout I went for doing 1000 Reps or Steps playing the animal dice game. I had to stop a few times to catch my breath and making sure the numbers were on par because the number of steps or reps you do come at random so after 35 Rolls I stopped to check the totals and it came out 704; OK so I had another 296 to go, at 44 Rolls it was at 920 so only 80 more to go...YES!!! I did 2 rolls of 40 each of 2 animals and low and behold....1000 was in my hands.

Felt amazing and although going through so many animals, I wasn't sore at all and just felt high and invigorated (:

Lots of energy flowing, hormones were hitting the roof and a smile that felt warm, awesome and beautiful.

Going after a goal like that can be intimidating. I mean come on its 1000 Reps, many people never total that high in any workout but it is achievable and once you set your mind on it don't ever let it go until its done.

Can you hit 1000 in a workout?

Disney's Animal Kingdom In Your Imagination

I've always loved going to Disneyland & California Adventure and seeing all the characters, going on the rides and hitting up the expensive shops. I've never been to the Animal Kingdom in Orlando though and always wondered what it be like to go there. One day maybe down the road I'll go but until then I have the park in my imagination.

Practicing Animal Movements is like being at the park and watching all the awesome creatures from all corners of the globe showing off their abilities from Apes to Tigers to Koalas to all sorts of reptiles and other animals. In your imagination you can expand on it and take it as far as you want to and the best part, you get to be any animal you want and do amazing things like one. Look at it this way, you'd be saving thousands of dollars and not just for hotels either but on all the shopping and craziness. I do believe visiting a Disney park is worth once in your lifetime; I'm lucky to have done it more than that.

Picture in your mind being in a city like Zootopia or the park in Florida, moving like a beautiful animal in the wild, having adventures and not only that but getting stronger and healthier. Many of us adults have lost our sense o imagination and become over-analytical plus not laughing as much and taking things way too damn seriously. You don't need to be at a Disney park to be happy and full of life. Take into consideration what it would feel like to walk like Baloo in the Bear Necessities, be the Jungle VIP like King Louie, swing through the jungle as two worlds become one family in Tarzan, lay back like a cool fox as Robin Hood in well lol Robin Hood. The wild power and strength of animals is our birthright and the greatest teachers of bodyweight training by crawling, jumping, balancing, pouncing, climbing, hanging & best of all, be FREE.

Next time you do an animal workout, picture yourself in the Animal Kingdom or as an animal from your favorite Disney movie and just roam around playing. I do it practically everyday and the only thing that sucks is that I have to stop so I can let my muscles get stronger other than that if I had it my way, I'd be having Jungle Fever 24/7 and never need to worry about what muscles look good for and how much I need to do to get ripped abs. Strength comes from the heart and your imagination is the window to your heart and soul.
