Let The Wild Rumpus Start



I read this book a long, long time ago called Where The Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak. It is the story of a little boy named Max and it starts out him going to bed without having dinner. While sitting in his room doing time, Max creates this vast and extraordinary world in his imagination where monsters roam a wild forest. He takes the role of King Of The Wild Things.

As he celebrates he shouts out "Let the wild rumpus start," as he and all the wild things of the forest join in a joyous dance and have the time of their lives. The author created a message in one of the main themes of this classic tale on how children handle being bored and frustrated. Now this gets me thinking at times that it isn't just adults with this issue but us adults as well. As adults and getting into fitness or being in it for a while, it does get to a point where you're bored from a routine and having a hard time shifting things around.

This is where Where The Wild Things Are can come in handy believe it or not:

The Wild Things- Doesn't matter if they're monsters or animals, it can be a cure for getting rid of boredom and frustrated entities just like for little Max. Better yet, even moving like a wild beast because Animal Moves are never boring and are fun as hell to do. Frustration would be a thing of the past because these exercises are very effective in channeling that emotion and turning it into happiness and joy just like the celebration Max has for being King.

Imagination- Even for someone like Max learning to cope with boredom and frustration, it can be a major key. Imagination is a powerful tool especially when you exercise. Just IMAGINE being a mighty animal in the wild and having strength and power the average human wished they had. Don't just move all chalantly, really get into being that animal and FEEL what it would be like to have the strength of a gorilla or the agility of a bird, the endurance of a tiger or the jumping ability of a frog. Learn this idea and you can make your results come faster.

The wild things are right here with you, so grab the insane book Animal Kingdom Conditioning 2: Call Of The Wild and dive into a world of movement, imagination and development of awesome strength and conditioning. Your kid can have the same fun as you so grab Wild Animal Fitness For Kids and let their imaginations run WILD and get into the habit of moving like an animal in the Wild Forest.

Now lets all shout out LET THE WILD RUMPUS START!!!!

Taking A Beautiful Form Of Exercise And Over Complicating It

Don't you just get irritated sometimes when some person takes the simplicity of exercise and turns it into a fiasco of over complicated structures? In my research into how Animal Movements work for various reasons and how to apply them to other forms of training, it keeps coming up with over complicated ideals and workouts that just seem to be more trendy than useful. Granted nothing wrong with a trend, it comes and it goes it is that simple but that doesn't excuse the fact that you're taking a beautiful form of nature and turning it into some kind of "Over-Humanized" style that just seems more wrong than right.

Animal Movements are nothing new, but wherever you research, most of the time you come up with a fancy workout that barely talks about the application of the movements themselves and making it look like some infomercial. There's no real simple form anymore and when you do find realistic animal movement training principles, it's rarely even recognized. Yes there is a rule that in order to get the most benefit, we have to cater that movement to the most efficient way possible for us humans because let's face it, we don't have the realistic luxury of moving like a tiger or the grip strength of an ape or even the ability to climb walls like a spider but making it so damn fancy, it sucks the fun out of making it simple and attempting the best way possible for us.

I believe in simplicity and making it something for what it really is and not watering it down into the depths that it destroys the realism and learning process. There are some forms of Animal Movement I do like, like Animal Flow, it is a great combination of locomotion, yoga and break dancing which makes it fun and interesting but I also tend to go beyond just the cool combos. Whenever I do teach somebody certain forms of training, I make it simple, fun and basic because regardless how fit or unfit you are, the basics bring out the greatest foundation. It's like building a house, you don't start with the roof, you start laying the ground work for what it literally builds up to. Exercise in this day and age have become so confusing you don't know where to start.

Our attention spans have decreased quite a bit over a number of years because we feel that if we want something, we need to have it right then and there. If you want results right away, you're not going to succeed the way you envisioned. It takes time, effort and patience because if you tried to shoot straight to the top at anything, it's going to bite you in the ass. When I started walking again, I didn't start out being able to do 100 Squats in a row or hold a bridge for 3 minutes let alone be able to even remotely do a Bear Crawl for 30 straight seconds. I busted my ass to get where I wanted to be and there were days where it sucked and had no motivation but I did it anyway because I made a choice.

The reason why I do Animal Movements frequently isn't because they're trendy or cool to do, I do them because they're amazing teachers and give me a sense of purpose, something that truly gets me into the very core of why I'm so passionate about fitness and I get to do something that not only makes me happy but brings out the best in what I can do. Why can't we just go back to being simple and doing something that isn't going to confuse the F*ck out of you. It's like music; you can have the coolest sounding guitar riff and have a kick ass set of instruments banding together (pun intended) but you'll never have a lasting sound that hits you right in your soul that lasts a lifetime. Simplicity lasts and trends come and go, its a vicious but realistic cycle.

Don't make things complicated and never let some douche tell you to do do 50 different things just to get 5 exercises going. Learn the simple ideals and everything will fall into place.

Isometrics: A Top Method For Shaping The Body

Back in the 1960's, Isometrics was a huge trend that really hit it off with athletes and president John F. Kennedy at the time. It teaches the ideal method of pushing, pulling against an immovable object or using muscle against muscle. The funny thing is, it goes beyond the physical yet the fraction of the population really understands that. There are a lot of ways to use isometrics and one is through Muscle Control which was taught by legendary Physical Culturists Maxick & Otto Arco. Another way to work Isos is by using your own body as self resistance or you can use a wall, a doorway, a bench or anything where you can't move the muscles themselves yet in a state of contraction or flexing.

Bruce Lee was a big advocate of Isometrics after coming back from a near fatal back injury, legendary Iowa wrestler Dan Gable made Isometrics a big part of his arsenal due to their abilities of giving him pinning strength that even guys twice his size had no clue how to handle. The Great Gama who was undefeated in 5000 matches used Isometrics to men even far heavier than him look like lightweights when he threw them and Gama was well over 260 pounds of pure muscle in his prime. Isometrics aren't just exercises that make you strong; they can be healers too as was part of the experimentation of using Isometrics to help heal injuries from wounded soldiers of WW2.

There are a limitless number of exercises that can be used as isometrics ranging from bodyweight to weights, holding up certain objects such as stones, kegs, farmer's walk, bending steel and more. There is no limit to what your imagination can come up with. It can even sculpt your body into a lean, mean fighting machine using specific methods to help rid of unwanted bodyfat and make muscles denser and hardened. They don't take long either as you can get an awesome workout in under 30 minutes. With a specific form of breathing, you an even lower blood pressure and get a great cardio affect out of it as well.

Do your research and look into more of utilizing Isometrics as a part of your program and if you're a MMA Fighter, think of the punching power and speed you can possess and not to mention some serious grip strength plus having lethal tendon power when you slap on submissions. I is essential for those from all walks of life.
